Patch Release 3.5.4

Servers are offline being updated with our latest patch.

This patch includes updates to our menu system to allow for full controller use. Internal testing indicates those with a ** 4K Monitor or TV ** who both use ** scaling ** for fonts/apps AND run H-Hour in ** Fullscreen ** mode, may need to change this to Windowed Fullscreen to avoid scaling issues. To fix, temporary set your scaling to 100%, access the Graphics menu and change to Windowed FullScreen. Exit the game and you should now be able to restore your display scaling to your preferred selection. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
