H.Q. has been hard at work investigating the bugs you Agents have been reporting in the field.
First and foremost, thank you for your work in the Enhanced Operative Division, supporting the game, and letting us know what things are going wrong.
Second, we are happy to announce that we have pushed a beta build that *should* fix the mapping issues for the Valve Index.
Your Instructions
In your Steam client, right-click the game and select 'Properties'.
Then, select the 'Beta' tab.
Finally, select the indexsupportbeta option. No password is required.
The more Agents that report to H.Q. letting us know the results, the better H.Q. can continue supporting your efforts.
As for the sound issue in the game, as stated in a community post earlier this month, we continue to investigate.
Cheers, H.Q.
Working On Index Support
Hello Agents,
HQ wants to update you on our support of the Index. Right now, we know the game isn't functioning as well as it should on the Index. To improve your experience, we're going to do a pass at an updated Index control scheme.
For the present time, we have removed Index support from our store listing. The game will still run on Index as it has been and you can continue to play the game with your Index hardware. Just know that your experience might not be optimal. Once we have the game working better with the Index hardware, we will add Index support back onto the store page and alert you of the change.
Thanks for your patience, Agent. Now, get back to your regularly scheduled mission!

Message from Headquarters: Your 'Seat of Power' Mission Is Here
Agents, you've been a patient bunch, waiting for your next assignment. But now, Dr. Zor is back and more sinister than ever before. Take your seat at the head of the table in this subterranean boardroom and discover the dastardly plans that Zoraxis has in store. But, be careful. There are any number of traps that are likely to sting. Good luck!
ALERT: New Assignment Coming on July 16, 2019
Agents, be on alert for your next assignment. On July 16, 2019, you will receive instructions for your latest mission called 'Seat of Power.' In this level, you are in Dr. Zor's boardroom, where you've infiltrated this subterranean den of deceit in order to extract important information from your nemesis. You'll need to be careful because there are sinister tricks lurking in every corner. Stay sharp since these traps are bound to sting. If you make it out of the room alive, you will be top agent once again.
