There’s a new update out for Expeditions: Rome available on Steam. The Controller Patch 1.5 brings some updates for gamepad support and bug fixes.
Gamepad Support
There’s great news for players who use gamepads. The developers improved gamepad support throughout the entire game and other enhancements to boost the player experience. That’s not all; they also updated the code of the game to make it compatible with Steam Deck, excellent for those who have one lying around or want to buy one.
Bug Fixes
In this update, the developers fixed several bugs including one where the player's status would display the poison being removed and added when moving into new poison tiles; this was not intended. So, they changed it and now it only displays "poisoned" and refreshes the turn count.
