Compatibility notes

• Playing as Hatsune Miku while hosting an online multiplayer session (SYNCHRONY) allows players without the DLC to join the lobby and play along on other characters.

New features

• Added compatibility mode when joining online multiplayer lobbies hosted on older versions:
-- Any online multiplayer lobby hosted on v4.0.0 or above can be entered, even if the game is on a newer version.
-- Selecting "Cross-play" when hosting a multiplayer lobby may temporarily revert the game to a previous patch to allow players from other platforms to join.

Changes

• Changed default multi-press combos for special actions (e.g. UP+LEFT for ITEM 1, etc.) to no longer apply to controllers
-- Multi-press combos for special actions can still be assigned manually via the "Reassign controls" menu by pressing two buttons at once

Bugfixes

1.81 - Control Improvements

• You can now assign a key for the "interact" function. If you reset key binding to default, it'll be F. And kicking will be Left Alt by default

• You can now cycle through objects near you using the mouse wheel up/down

• You can now use the Dpad on your controller to cycle through character models during character creation

• Added a tutorial for door kicking

• Tunguska Syndrome and Radiation will display at the same time on the dosimeter - no need to switch between them any more

• Added an indicator for the acoustic sensor so you know when it's turned on

• Added some sandbag barriers at player's house which will show up when you hire guards from Larry. If you already have the guards, you can disaband and rehire them to get the sandbags

• Fixed a bug with keybinding buttons not reflecting the current keybinding

• Fixed a bug with dead wolves jumping up when you get near them

• Fixed a bug with player unintentionally swinging the melee weapon when you close a window by clicking a button

These are quite a bit of changes, I hope I didn't break anything major :) But please let me know if I did! Thanks :)

A Quick Bug Fix

In 1.81, while trying to prevent an accidental melee swing after closing a window by clicking a button, I introduced a new bug: unable to travel to Zernaskaya after completing the border patrol quest. This patch will fix this issue. Sorry about the trouble folks!

CHANGELOG v1.5.4

**fixes

+ numpad Enter key now works in game
+ fixed custom livery issues for the rotary kei and das maestro
+ fixed custom livery template issues for das maestro (creators need to update their custom liveries for das maestro)

Note: Currently in-game version is shown as v1.5.4a2, so if you want to backup the offline installer I recommend waiting until we fix that next week.
