Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Patch v1.031 Released

Developers of the hit roguelike indie game, The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth, have released their v1.031 patch to fix some game bugs, focusing on Steam Cloud and controller support.

On the Steam update page, Simon has said that the two main fixes in this update are the Steam Cloud syncing problems and the disconnecting issues that can come when playing with a controller.

Steam Cloud sync

The game is now directly saving to the synchronized Steam Cloud folder. This means that you cannot accidentally overwrite your save files anymore by switching to a different Steam account on the same computer.

The save files (persistentgamedataX.dat, gamestateX.dat) are now in a folder inside your Steam userdata directory that will automatically be synced with the Steam servers.

On Windows, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[account id]\250900\remote Random disconnect of some game controllers

Players experienced an issue where the Sony DS4 controller was disconnected randomly when using both analogue sticks at the same time.

The minor fixes and balancing notes were also released and are as follows:
