Issues unresolved

Some sounds are too loud

Some sounds will be disproportionately loud if the relevant volume sliders are set below 100%, like the sound effect of the Sokka’s Boomerang item. (Version 1.3 was supposed to have fixed this[4], but only some issues were fixed.) This is because they are unaffected by all volume sliders, and will always play with a volume balance intended to match 100% on all sliders. The only mitigation is to leave volume sliders at 100% and lower the volume of the application through others means (e.g. the Windows volume mixer).

Issues fixed

Escape key doesn’t work

After binding Esc in an input profile, even if its bind is removed, it will no longer perform its intended function of pausing while using that input profile, which can cause softlocks.
Edit the input profile and choose “Restore Default”.
