Patch Notes v1.4.8

• SteamDeck players and and Controller users now get to look at proper controller glyphs instead of the retro text-formatted prompts that regular mouse/keyboard players will continue to see.
  
  
  
  
  This is part of preparing for console versions (which require official input glyphs). Some might argue it's a shame to lose the punk aesthetic of the over-the-top retro UI text control prompts, especially given the game's name comes from the PC keyboard.... but needs must and no doubt some will prefer the new glyphs anyway.
  
  
• bug-fix: Carrying something as bug22 will no longer prevent you from flying. Players have been reporting this on and off for a long time and I've always just put it down to weird physics quirk that I was unable to replicate. Luckily I did finally understand how to replicate it, so now it's fixed.
  
• Fix not being able to rebind W (forwards) to E
  
• Increased the size of Task/Meta/Insight notifications (the ones that appear top-left of screen) to make them more prominent
  
  

Patch Notes v1.4.7

• Corrected poor materials usage, mostly in the UI - less inefficient now. Can't believe I only just noticed.
  
• Made it so the elevator near Rocket Launchsite can be ctrl'd from the lower level while it's at the upper level if you've ctrl'd it previously (after a player wondered why they couldn't)
  
• Fixed a missing collider near Rocket Launchsite
  
• Fixed a stray unlocalized string that I'd missed all this time
  

Patch Notes v1.4.6

• Added some measures to bring Bug0 back if he's still needed and accidentally gets lost in CRS (e.g. if he glitches through vent)
  
• VaQ wasn't sucking up Ego Fragments properly
  
• Download tool wasn't always remaining selected when unctrl-ing Bug22
  
• Key-bindings screen was not working well for new players / clean install
  

Patch Notes v1.4.5

• Fix: Corrected a technical issue with DADs moving between levels - symptom would have been either DAD broken parts appearing when they shouldn't or not appearing when they should
  
• Change: A technical change to ensure physics and object transforms synchronized prior to saving / crossing between levels
  

Patch Notes v1.4.4

• Fix: Technical issue where downloading your own MUM meant MUM wasn't sure where she was - which led to some erratic elevator behavior and who knows what else
  
• Fix: A player discovered an unfortunate soft-lock right at the start of chapter 1
  
• Several German NewGame+ localization corrections
  

v1.4.3: ¡Español!

• NEW: Spanish localization of the game is now available
  
• NUEVO: Ctrl Alt Ego ya está disponible en español
  
  
  
  Navigate to Menu > Settings > Language to change language
  

Patch Notes v1.4.2

• Bug 22 was refusing to stay on the train at merging station location! Due to a physics change I made a few patches back, now resolved.
  
• Defragmentation location, added something to the buglock door to prevent Bug22 being able to glitch through the door
  

Patch Notes v1.4.1

• NewGame+ Fixes:
  
  
  
  • GRAV key is now rebindable in NG+
    
  • A CAT in rocket launch area was never coming online
    
  • The second Virus wasn't showing up at the GOD Dock
    
  
  
• Keyboard Input Bindings
  
  
  
  • Grabber > Upright is now additionally bound to Q (default), which means it's also now rebindable
    
  • Shift and Alt keys can now be re-bound, and can be used as toggles rather than keep-held-down.
    
  
  
• Fix: Grenade blast radius wasn't always damaging everything caught in the blast due to a buffer not being large enough
  
  
• Fix: A couple of inactive guard-rail pieces in Port 666 still had collision enabled
  
  
• A MUM in Legacy Systems had turned invisible
  
  
• Improvement: Added some fatter colliders to various vent pieces to reduce chance of physics glitching from inside vent to outside them (and so out-of-bounds).
  

New Game Plus (NG+) Has Arrived

• New gravity manipulation ability
  
• New and different enemy placements
  
• New surprises along the way
  
• New shortcuts and skips
  
• Carry over your Ego, Disks, Worms, MEM from a previous run
  
• All achievements remain achievable
  

Troubleshooting / How To Unlock NewGame+

1. Navigate to your Steam apps Ctrl Alt Ego install folder and navigate through to the Ctrl Alt Ego_Data/Scripts folder, e.g. for me it's:
   
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ctrl Alt Ego\Ctrl Alt Ego_Data\Scripts
   
   
2. Double click the script ctrlaltego.ngplus.unlock.vbs and if all goes well you'll get a success message telling you NG+ was unlocked.
   

But first, an announcement

Patch Notes v1.3.16

• Fix issue whereby a previously serialized Bug that had since been reprinted could end up thinking it was still inside DAD
  
• Fix: Correction to bug grab state across level loads - could end up in a state where it never cleared the grabbed thing
  
• Fix: Egonomics - Exterior geometry was disabled in the Comms Tower section! Might have been broken since v1.3.0, oups.
  
• Fix: The Cloud elevators were missing ceiling collider! Also probably broken since v1.3.0
  
• Improvement: For ultra low VRAM PCs, the game will now run with a very low texture budget - meaning it will look very bad but at least it will run. Anything under 1GB VRAM is considered ultra-low. One player was able to complete the entire game with a mere 128MB VRAM.
