Fatal Claw v1.0.41 Hotfix

v1.0.41 is a hotfix released on 7 September 2026 for Fatal Claw 1.0. This update addresses a controller binding issue where separate bindings for healing and floating prevented the floating control from being reassigned.

See Updates Hub for the full version history.

What v1.0.41 fixes

Controller binding fix for healing and floating

Fixed an issue where separate controller bindings for healing and floating prevented the floating control from being reassigned.

This fix resolves a controller configuration issue that affected players who wanted to customize their floating control scheme. Previously, when healing and floating had separate controller bindings, the floating control could not be reassigned independently. v1.0.41 ensures that floating controls can be properly configured regardless of healing bindings.

This improvement enhances controller customization options and resolves frustration for players who prefer specific control layouts.

Why this fix matters

Floating is a core movement mechanic in Fatal Claw. Players use floating to extend jump distance, navigate tricky platforming sections, and evade enemy attacks. The ability to customize which button triggers floating is essential for players with different control preferences or accessibility needs.

Before v1.0.41, if you assigned healing to one button and wanted to use a different button for floating, the game would not allow the floating control to be remapped independently. This created a frustrating limitation for players who needed a custom control setup.

The fix ensures that both healing and floating controls can be assigned to whatever buttons suit your playstyle best.

What v1.0.41 does not change

This is a bug fix update. It does not:

• Add new content, regions, or bosses
• Change game balance, damage values, or enemy health
• Modify existing game mechanics beyond the binding fix
• Add new achievements
• Address any issues beyond the controller binding problem

Impact on gameplay

Players who experienced the binding limitation will now find that floating controls work as expected. If you previously worked around this issue by using a non-optimal button assignment, you can now reconfigure your controls properly.

This fix is particularly helpful for:

• Players using left-hand controller configurations
• Those with mobility considerations requiring specific button placements
• Players who prefer healing and floating on different shoulders or triggers

After v1.0.41

This hotfix resolves a quality-of-life issue for controller users. Players who experienced issues with floating control reassignment should now be able to configure their controls as intended.

To verify the fix is working:

1. Open the controller settings menu
2. Navigate to the floating control binding option
3. Assign your preferred button
4. Confirm that the binding persists independent of healing settings
