Known issues and additional details

• The left stick acts as a virtual cursor for compatibility with screens that have not yet been adapted. Use the arrow keys or D-pad for focus-based navigation.
• Controller hints currently use only PS4 or Xbox One icons while the remaining controller textures are being redesigned.
• Icons on the action-binding screen may be rendered at an incorrect size.
• Only some settings are currently stored separately for each player: everything under the Controls section, GUI scale, and FOV. Changes to any other settings will affect all players.
