MISERY Patch Restores 'E' to Close Containers, Fixes Steam Deck Controls
A small but targeted patch has arrived for MISERY, correcting several control and layout issues introduced or exposed by a recent update.
What changed
- Container closing restored: The 'E' key can once again close containers — a binding added in the prior update that briefly went missing.
- Input lock fixes: ALT and SHIFT lock behaviour has been corrected.
- Steam Deck layout repairs: Multiple issues on Steam Deck have been addressed, covering scroll, inventory, voice chat, the attachments menu, and the radial menu.
- Custom world settings: Players can now change settings within custom worlds. A save is required for the changes to apply.
The patch is light on scope by design — the author, Ytopia, frames the 'E' key fix with a wry acknowledgment that players found its absence unexpectedly disruptive within a single day of it going missing.
For Steam Deck players in particular, the layout corrections span several core interface systems, making this a more meaningful update on that platform than the brief changelog might suggest. Custom world configurability, meanwhile, opens a small but previously unavailable avenue for tailoring individual runs.
