This new update should hopefully fix the last remaining keyboard/mouse issues. If need be, please go to the Options->Controls menu and click on “Reset To Default Binding”. Keyboard and mouse should now work regardless of the selected gamepad preset.

Furthermore if you get parasite input from your gamepads while you play with your mouse/keyboard then you can use the “Ignore Gamepad Input” option (in the Controls menu).

Warning:

The recent Windows 10 Anniversary update (1607) has officially broken native support for gamepads. If you can remain on Windows 10 version 1511 then please do so for the time being.

What if you already upgraded to Windows 10 anniversary update? If your Xbox gamepad is not recognized at all when starting Ghost of a Tale then the solution is simple: unplug and plug it back in. The gamepad will then be recognized. Unfortunately you’ll have to do this every time you close the game and restart it.

Since this issue affects potentially a lot of Unity games (including the recently released "Inside") I’m sure Unity and/or Microsoft will come up with a fix. Meanwhile we are also looking for a more definitive solution on our side…

Fixed:

• Light transitions (inside/outside) issues at night (turning dark then popping brighter again)
• Settings for V-sync and sneak-desaturation are not properly restored
• Silas’ first beetle does not appear in front of the cage (this is a retroactive fix, just reload your save and it should be there)
• Inspect panel for clothes appearing behind the inventory UI (not 100% sure about this one but no-one has reported it in a while)
• Weird noises (and sometimes video artifacts) when launching the game during the loading screen
• “Ignore gamepad Input” setting is not properly restored
• Missing name display error with first beetle on cage
• Current gamepad preset is not correctly restored when restarting the game (you may have to reselect the preset)
• Mouse and keyboard not working when using certain gamepad presets
• Right stick not working on DualShock 4 when closing and restarting the game
• Guards can sometimes get into an “intrigued” state (yellow exclamation mark) while simultaneously unconscious
• Issue when reloading a save just at the moment when Tilo was getting into a hiding spot
• Lock FPS is not properly enforced/restored
