Summary (AI)

Patch 1.0.1 for Sensory Overload addresses several gameplay and technical issues, including fixing six graze achievements that previously did not unlock, though they must be earned in a new run. The update resolves camera and steering bugs, prevents zen mode from stalling after crashes, and fixes obstacle stacking problems on a specific stage. Improvements were made to the soundtrack audio, mouse sensitivity settings, and added an Obstacle Opacity override in Accessibility options. Editor stability has been enhanced with backup saves and a fix for data loading, while community map stats now track separately. Additional fixes include a crash on game exit, Steam Cloud progress syncing issues, and Steam verification errors at startup.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

7,963,823 grazes, 6.19 million near misses, 1.03 million daredevils, and 740,121 death wishes
Fixed all six graze achievements never unlocking. They are not awarded retroactively, so you will need to earn them in a run.
Fixed the camera snapping sideways into the tunnel wall, and steering locking up so you could not move in one direction.
Fixed zen mode never advancing past the first section of a stage if you crashed into obstacles instead of dodging them.
Fixed two unrelated obstacles stacking into an impassable wall on Flash's Whiteout stage.
Fixed clicking and crackling in the soundtrack, most audible on Aperture.
Fixed the mouse sensitivity slider skipping straight past 1.00x. It can now be set to exactly 1.00x.
Added an Obstacle Opacity override. Turn it on in Accessibility settings and set obstacle opacity anywhere from 20% to 100%.
Fixed the editor overwriting your level with an empty one when its obstacle data failed to load.
The editor now keeps a backup copy of every level before saving over it.
Fixed "Play From Here" starting from the beginning of a section instead of from where your camera actually is.
Fixed every community map sharing one set of stats. Attempts, high scores and ghost markers were bleeding between unrelated levels.
Fixed a crash while the game was closing.
Fixed campaign progress failing to reach Steam Cloud when quitting straight from the main menu after a run.
Fixed Steam verification failing at startup, which could leave a whole session unverified and its ranked scores rejected.
