changedHot fixing a critical issue preventing native Linux build from launching correctly if you have updated glibc to v2.41 (which apparently broke a lot of backwards compatibility, and fun fact was released the same day as DEAD LETTER DEPT.) Steam Forum thread about it here.
changedCloud syncing on Linux should now fully function correctly
fixedFixing a rare edgecase issue where entering a Vertical Tab (somehow) in a very very specific circumstance could somehow cause the save data to get corrupted and ultimately reset itself. Also, I learned that Vertical Tabs are apparently a thing, but how you enter one in 2025 is a complete mystery to me (chime in if you're familiar with using these in the modern age).
addedAdding an error screen on launch to notify you if the Save Data is corrupted/not loadable, which will give you some options to consider. Mainly added this to catch any other weird circumstances after encountering the crazy Vertical Tab thing. If I'm very lucky nobody will ever see it.
fixedFixing the Recommended Controller layout for SteamDeck not showing up correctly
fixedFixing minor bug where the Display Resolution setting would get confused and show the wrong entry
