- V1.9 now in Beta Channel! - 20 May 2019
Hey everyone, getting close to v2.0 now! V1.9 is available in the beta channel and adds cloud sync and reworks the new SteamVR Input system with default binding for Vive, Touch, WMR controllers and Index Controllers.
- v1.75 Beta3 now on the Beta Channel - 4 February 2019
Hey everyone, just a quick update ont he upcoming v1.75 of the game. You can now find the Beta3 in the beta channel. I recently updated the game to the very new SteamVR2.0 plugin, which includes the new controller input mapping and I am looking for feedback on the new input scheme. It would be great if people could try out the default mapping and see if it makes sense on their controllers, especially if people are using WMR ones. This now also supports Knuckles DV controllers. To get the beta, go to your Steam library select Properties -> Beta in your library and you should be downloading the new version in no time :). Thanks! Mark

"Neutron Star" Preview https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F25281831%2Fe3c1e052411a74cf93bda5ceeb91693418da074b.gif Hey everyone, I have been working on some more content for Gravity Lab! The "Neutron Star" update will bring 9 new levels, a new environment and a new mechanic. I am still fine-tuning the levels, but if you are keen, you can check out the first level by switching to the the Beta branch on Steam! Includes Knuckles Support https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F25281831%2F08e6a7aa8aa4ca80493d1e7afc5ab7b20250c0c1.gif 1.6 does include support for Knuckles controllers! However, this support is based on the curl values reported pre-EV2. To use your EV2 Knuckles, you need to manually bind the curl values to the axes in the rebind tool. You need to unhide them in this file though: steamapps\common\SteamVRKnucklesDriver\resource…

- Teleport / Vive grip button broken (fixed now) - 18 February 2018
// Update Feb 25th This issue has now been fixed: http://steamcommunity.com/games/408340/announcements/detail/1664514804457959904 // Original Post Hey everyone, I am working on a new fix for this. Sorry if the game isn't working currently. Something has changed in the SteamVR backend and the method to get the grip buttons (which has worked for the last 2 years) stopped working reliably. I was hoping this was just a fluke in the SteamVR beta, but it looks like it went now into the main branch.... Feel free to refund the game. Sorry for the broken teleport :( Will update the store page ASAP once I have fixed it.

- v1.0 and the road ahead - 18 May 2017
Hey everyone, version 1.0 is out now :). It brings 7 new levels with 3 difficulty settings each. With this update, Grav|Lab transitions from Early Access to Full Release, but that doesn't mean the updates will stop! :) For the coming months, I am planning to release more levels via the built-in Workshop and add more features and probably a bit more polish to the existing gameplay. I'd like to thank everybody who played Grav|Lab during its Early Access phase. The game would have been very different with your feedback and input :). Cheers, Mark
