Small update to fix some quality-of-life improvements for PC controllers.

PATCH

• Improved direct input controller detection. This should mean issues where controllers were being picked up erroneously are reduced.
  
• Added a configuration tool option to disable direct input controllers. If you’re still having issues, use this to disable legacy controller support.
  
• Added an inifile option to disable the “critical control” warnings. This should aid setup in cases with unusual “joysticks”, such as headtrackers using Vjoy.
  
• Added an inifile option for scaling the FOV from its default size. Not compatible with VR mode. Intended for advanced users only.
  
• Added “force freelook” inifile option which causes the freelook control to stay on continuously. This should be useful for headtracking setups.

Independent UK developer and publisher Rebellion is thrilled to announce that BATTLEZONE® GOLD EDITION launches today

BATTLEZONE® GOLD EDITION includes the game and ALL additional content released since launch. AND anyone who already owns BATTLEZONE on PC will automatically upgrade to BATTLEZONE® GOLD EDITION, FREE!
