Dear Atari Vault Fans, Thank you for continued support of Atari Vault. While youve been battling for arcade High Scores and bragging rights, weve been busy gathering additional feedback and improving the game - and now we have another update for you all! This time around, we focused primarily on controls, but also improved a few other aspects of the game. Thank you all for the incredible feedback and continued reviews! In this todays Atari Vault 1.0.2 update you will find the following: Improvements

• Updated the game to use our own native controller code that supports XInput controllers (such as Xbox 360, Logitech F310, etc.) instead of Unitys controller code. This will provide finer management of controller interactions between the game and Windows. It also resolves a number of bugs.
  • Note: Should you want to use the former Unity-based controller system simply Right-Click on Atari Vault in your Steam Library. Then Select Properties > General > Set Launch Options and enter -use-unity-controls in the box and Press Ok.
• Rendering of vector games is cleaner, and a new setting called Bright has been added.
• Improved the scanline effect (most noticeable on 4K desktops)
• Lunar Lander, Race, and Sprint 2 controls have been improved (including the ability to fine-tune thrust in Lunar Lander when its assigned to a trigger)
• Added the Flicker: Authentic/Filtered option to Atari 2600 games (under Options > Game)
• Added the Controls: Normal/Inverted option to Tempest (under Options >
• Improved game controller remap, and ESC can now cancel controller button assignment
• Minor improvements to the UI
