20XX 1.0 FAQ (tech issues? read me!)

I'm having a technical issue.

If your game doesn't start via Steam and reports a missing dll when you try to open it via windows, it means Steam has failed to auto-install a required file. If the following file says you have a newer version, you'll need to uninstall the old one first. Make sure you pick the right langauge from the dropdown. Get the file here! [www.microsoft.com]





If you're experiencing an issue with the controls, try disconnecting all your other control devices (or things the game might pick up as a controller) - they may be interfering. If your character keeps walking right or left, you probably need to turn Arcade Stick Test Mode on or off in the game's settings.





If you're playing with a PS4 controller via DS4 and noticing that your character seems to fire charge shots early and other little control blips, the game is recognizing your controller as two devices; disable one of them.





If it seems like your game isn't saving (controls not saving, starting at tutorial with no unlocks, etc), your game can't write to My Documents/20XX/ - check the permissions on this folder and make sure the user account running 20XX can make/edit files there. (Running as admin would also fix this.)





For other control/technical issues, shoot me an email to chris AT batterystaplegames DOT com - please include your log.txt file (from the game's install directory, typically Steam/SteamApps/common/20XX) and tell me as much as you can about what's going on. Thanks!

What're you guys working on now?

Ports - we're actively developing for XB1 and PS4 at this point, but the release for these systems are (at minimum) several months away (as of August 2017).

What's on your radar for the future?

Workshop integration/Piecemakers editor - we'd love for users to be able to make their own level pieces and share them with other users. We've got some grand plans here.





Content! More level pieces, console ports, more themes/bosses, more awesome weapons, more augs, etc.





More playable characters - we have plenty of ideas, but new characters are a ton of work.

These are big-picture items we're actively working on, and don't include things we're always working on like balance tweaks and bug fixing.These are items we'd like to do at some point, but aren't currently working on. Items in this list are not guarantees or promises - we'd like to do them, but we aren't sure exactly what the future of the game looks like yet. We're still figuring out the best way for us to package new content now that we're out of Early Access, and we'll update this section once we know.Thanks for playing and helping shape the future of 20XX!
