Black Hat Cooperative has reached 10,000 sales! A celebration sale is on the way!
Hi all!
First, thank you all for your support! It honestly blew away all of our expectations! We developed this game because we were excited about it and, when we showed it at expos, others seemed to enjoy it too. Spying and hacking together, one player in VR and the other on a computer?... It was a unique and crazy idea. Prior to release we literally thought to ourselves, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if 100 people bought and liked our game?” Fast forward to today and, across all platforms, we’ve sold over 10,000 copies! That’s nuts!
So thank you again for your support! It has provided us with a lot of unique opportunities that we would’ve never had otherwise.
Best,
Team Future Games

Update 1.04 out: New levels and motion-sickness-proof controls
Hey folks!
We just released a content and feature update for you all! Here's what you get:
-Three new levels! Diamondback, Trace, and Bounce.
-Motion-sickness-proof controls! While many people have enjoyed the game in first person, the fact is first person locomotion makes many people feel sick. "Normal" teleportation wouldn't work for this game, since you could skip past traps. So we built a 3rd person mode - you exist in the levels with an avatar that you move around. You can then press a button (which button depends on your control scheme) and your camera will teleport behind your avatar. So you can't skip past traps, but you still don't have any artificial camera movement beyond the instant teleportation, so we hope that's a great fit for this game. You can steer your avatar with typical gamepad controls, or you can direct the character by aiming your Vive controllers. We hope that folks seeking a perfectly comfortable experience will now try out our game! This mode can be enabled from the settings screen in the main menu, or by typing "settings third_person 1" at any time in-game.
Enjoy!

New upcoming content!
Hi Hackers,
New content is on its way!
3 new levels and 3rd person motion-sickness-proof locomotion are coming to Black Hat Cooperative September 20th.
Stay tuned.

Workaround for Crash with AMD Card
Hey all,
We've recently discovered an crash bug you may have with an AMD card. We'll try to get to the bottom if it, but in the mean time we have a workaround:
Inside the AMD Gaming Evolved app, disable Raptr/plays.tv. Those pieces of software appear to cause our game to crash if active. Sorry about the inconvenience!

Bugfix Update Released
Apologies for the rocky start some folks had, but we just pushed out an update for those of you who were crashing when trying to start the game from the main menu. Seemed to be caused by using Vive while having an XBox controller connected, how odd! We hope you can all get into the game and enjoy now! Contact us with any other issues you find.
Also, we fixed some of our app's flags - it now properly appears in your "VR" games list and can be launched from SteamVR.
Have fun!
Crashes on start bug
Thanks to people who told us that sometimes the game crashes and sent us their crash logs. We are fixing this ASAP.
*Update*
It seems like this problem exists just for players using xbox controllers. Should work fine if you are using vive controllers. We are fixing this for xbox controller users ASAP.
