• Cleaned up incorrect controller button prompts that could remain visible after switching between keyboard and controller.

• Fixed duplicated radio prompts on harvesters.

• Changed the controller shortcut for the hitch to LB + B to avoid conflicting controls.

• Changed the controller shortcut for CVT switching to LB + X.

• Improved the indication of whether harvester unloading systems are currently active.

• Reformatted text in the Skills window for better readability and clearer descriptions.

• Fixed an issue that could cause players to become stuck while interacting with the Skills interface.

• Fixed resolution scaling issues.

Skills & Progression

• Selling goods to traders now also contributes toward the TeamPlayer skill.

• Improved the Sprinter #2 perk for the Builder class.

• With Sprinter #2 unlocked, repair and rebuilding actions receive an additional 50% speed increase, making the perk significantly more noticeable and rewarding.
