This update was released several days ago, so now we would like to make the update more known to the public. Introducing something that more computer games should really have...
Behold, gamepad support! Unfortunately, only XInput (Xbox 360) gamepads and other newer gamepads are supported as of now. If you have one of those older generic controllers, you will need a program that converts its controls to XInput. It shouldn't be too hard to find one, but here is a Google search for you guys anyways: https://www.google.com/#q=xinput+converter
Gamepad support is not the only new thing. The game should now be able to run on Windows XP computers. Unfortunately, Microsoft is dropping WIndows XP support in a few months so this will be rather short-lived. Oh well.
Finally, loads of new changes in attempt to make the game better! Due to the focus on gamepad support for this update, not every planned change has made it into the Gamepad & Balance update, so there will be a followup update soon that will implement any changes left out of this update. The followup update will be a lot smaller, but we are sure that you will appreciate the extra changes regardless.
Here is the official changelog for the Gamepad & Balance Update:
