OpenMW

It’s been about a month since the release of 0.35.0 and we’ve gotten some news about crashes here and there. They have been fixed already, but situations like this beg for a patch. So that’s what the team is putting out. 0.35.1 won’t just contain crash fixes, though – we’ve still got a whole bunch of bugs fixed. Those will be included, of course.

What will also be included is a single feature: Controllers. Last year there was some work done on joystick support. It worked mostly, but not in a good enough state to warrant including it in OpenMW. Digmaster and scrawl have sufficiently advanced controller support now to make it into the next build. If you have a gamepad, why not give it a try? If your controller doesn’t work properly, the team would like to hear about it.

And once they’ve got this update pushed out, they’ll be back to work on version 0.36.0 of the engine.
