Currently for some reason I can't open arcadia. It says "preparing first time setup 1/1" and then nothing happens. ACT works though, but it doesn't save the grid/crosshair colors. So, did this update include the new features?

I am also open to suggestions for my launch problem (other than "reinstall" or "restart PC", since I tried both and they don't work).

Your guess is as good as mine. I sent off a patch, but according to Valve, it failed. Give me about 10 minutes to assess the data files.

Okay, looking at the files, the patch I sent off worked. Which is basically Build 14. All the new GUI and everything.

The reason it fails is because:
Gamepad.cfg & settings.cfg aren't being extracted.

I've submitted a patch, which should be active in the next half hour. An hour max.

For these settings right NOW:

Currently unable to launch the game, even after verifying the chache as well as uninstalling/reinstalling.

I think Valve might have accidentally the whole game.

Great update! Definitely like the new game modes. Thanks!

One quick issue, when you click on start game, you have to choose a game mode, can you make a back button to go back to the main menu?

The update is great overall!

I feel like Pivot mode is extremely hard, I can't even get 20k points in it. Mainly because the enemies come too fast. For example, if one comes from the top and the other one at the bottom, there's no way I'm going to kill them both without using a bomb. It's the same with the big blue ones, but even with a bomb they can still kill you (because small ones spawn behind other enemies).

I firmly believe that ACT doesn't change audio volumes or crosshair color. When I start Arcadia after "save&quit" in ACT... there's no sound and the crosshair is always white, even though I changed the volumes and the crosshair color to red. ACT does change the resolution, the language and the grid color (but when you go to options, all the grid bars are at 0, which isn't even possible to achieve by moving them).

I was disappointed that I couldn't move the menus through keyboard anymore. Before it took less than 2 seconds to retry (Esc->X->enter->enter), but now it takes significantly longer. A retry button would be really helpful also (For example, esc -> Arrow down -> enter).

In my opinion the icons for bombs and lives are worse than before also. They are too small (especially lives) and in a fast-paced game like this, I really don't want to stare my lives for too long (I always quickly look at them to see which one I got as an upgrade).

The new achievements doesn't have icons either, so when you achieve them, it will say "Most recent: hardcore gamer" with a smitten achievement's icon on the steam UI (but I'm sure you already knew this).

I'm working on the icons Tuli, I've just been really busy with my new job and have not had the time yet to get them completed to my satisfaction.

Gimme a bit and I'll get them done :)

Sure, I'm just pointing out the "flaws" =P

Which icons btw? bombs/lives or achievements? Also am I experiencing placebo-effect or is the game more fluent/fast-paced? ;P
