- The ENTER key may now be used as an alternative to the Y key when responding to messages requiring a yes/no answer.
- When the player dies, the amount of health displayed in the widescreen HUD will no longer always be zero. It will instead often be a negative number to indicate how much damage was inflicted upon the player in order to kill them.
- A bug has been fixed whereby the
ammo
andarmor
CVARs could be set to negative values and cause a crash. - Animated decorations will no longer shift back and forth in the final release of Back To Saturn X E1: Get Out Of My Stations or if the Minor Sprite Fixing Project v1.8 is loaded.
- The message displayed when the player tries to open a locked door when they don’t have the required key now always distinguishes between keycards and skull keys.
- An

. It isbig
by default. - The messages displayed in the alternate widescreen HUD now use the same font that is used in the console.
