Hey everyone, I want to provide a small update on two things.

If you havn’t read the previous announcement, please read that first as it will provide context. http://steamcommunity.com/games/473770/announcements/detail/1439318968088458913

Free Package

First thing, after having re-read my conversation with Valve to double check a few points I had re-read the answer to my question on what will happen with current players. As it turns out I had misunderstood it, apologies as this was a mistake on my behalf.

As long as you do not uninstall the game you will continue to receive updates for free. I had misinterpreted the answer explaining that the free copy would be removed, this is not the case and you will only lose your free copy when you uninstall the game.

Regardless of this, we will still be sending out free keys shortly after September 21st to those mentioned in the previous announcement as this will activate the paid copy of the game and provide said people with the donator liveries.

Input Problems

Secondly I want to address a small problem with the game which some people have been posting about in the discussions and on the previous announcement. This is regarding input and it suddenly breaking.

The game is using an input library being replaced shortly which has shown for its own reasons to corrupt its saved data. In order to fix this you need to delete the game’s registry entries so they can be recreated.

Before applying the fix below myself and the Neognosis team are not liable for any damage to your computer caused by editing the Windows Registry. It is strongly adviced that you only follow the instructions below if you are an advanced user and have handled with the Windows Registry directly before.

To do this you want to press Windows Key + R, in the window that pops up type regedit.exe and press enter. On the left hand side navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Vonsnake and delete the BallisticNG folder. This removes all Unity and input preferences and input should function as normal once you start the game back up.

Sorry for this inconvenience, with the game going paid this is now a top priority to fix as soon as possible.
