Support / Re: Colour problem in the demo

Here's what everything looks like under my "All Settings" menu.





When things were messed up, "Use application settings" was unchecked for everything and I had everything set to the max. I'm not sure what in particular was causing the problem.

I can't say for certain what you are experiencing is the same as I did, but it sounded a lot like it.

I had a problem with ugly backgrounds and lots of color banding within them. It wasn't that the game was running in 16-bit, it was that I had a bunch of override settings for 3D enabled in Catalyst Control Center (I have a Radeon X1950GT). I turned them all off and the game began looking as it was intended.

I've found it easier to play with both the mouse and keyboard. I use WASD to move around (you can configure which you want to use if those are not acceptable), and the mouse button to do the dash maneuver when I need/want to do it. It's a whole lot less stressful on the finger, mine atleast. 

I do something similar, except replace the keyboard with the left side of a gamepad, and control the movement with the analog stick.

I use a program called JoyToKey, which maps gamepad inputs to keyboard key presses. I mapped WASD to d-pad/left analog for movement and the two left shoulder buttons to menu and fire (for convenience). It's kinda like using a Wii Nunchuck+mouse!

Yeah, I know the game has native gamepad support. But the mouse functionality disappears when using the pad with it enabled. JoyToKey prevents that.

If the dev team sees this, a request-- if they are being considered:
I'd like to see a gamepad+mouse option. JoyToKey only emulates digital button presses so it doesn't give you the benefit of real, smooth analog control. It'd be extra nice to have that. But I realize I'm a tiny minority and probably the only person who plays it like this.

Awesome game though. Forgot it even existed until yesterday when the news broke that it was released. Didn't even bother with demo, and basically bought it on a whim.
