The controller buttons do not appear to function correctly in the v1.3 alpha. When attempting to open a menu, it immediately closes the menu and goes back into gameplay. Just realized this alpha is 5 years old.
lol. Of course. I wouldn't, either. This seems to be the only issue with the alpha and is likely something that likely has manifested itself at some point in the last 5 years. Luckily, I can get through the during-gameplay menus using the keyboard.
