- Hot-pluggable, well-designed in-game controller support with appropriate icons for both controllers and keyboard/mouse input.
- Although 64-bit update (Aug 8, 2020) has improved things drastically, some optimizations are required to make more use of the engine (QoL Improvements) [2][3][4][5]

Modifications
Editing INI Files And Terms Of Service (Europe)
The terms of service forbid the modification of the ini files (amongst other things) and can result in the suspension of one's game account.[8] However, a community manager has stated that "for the sake of clarification, you won't get banned for changing a line in a .ini file."[9]
