changedAlways on the forefront of the cutting-edge technology & practices of more than a decade ago, us humble folk at Running With Scissors are always looking to improve even our oldest games to make them more accessible and more enjoyable for gamers across the world. Today we are proud to release the version 5022 Windows Update for POSTAL 2 on Steam which, among other changes, takes us two important steps forward in this never-ending journey:
changedFull localization (including spoken audio) in Chinese
addedThat's right; if you, or anyone you know is a native Chinese speaker who has had trouble getting into POSTAL 2 because of the language barrier, then now's the time to jump right in! We have brought full Chinese localization to the game, translating both visual elements and spoken in-game audio. Paradise, AZ is breaking down all language barriers, and has never been more accessible, or multi-cultural than it is right now! In addition to these full localizations, we are also introducing a subtitle system which transcribes the spoken in-game dialogue, during both gameplay and cutscenes, in a nice clean visual form (absolutely not lifted from any pre-existing games by other companies) so that you don't miss a single bit of the wacky humorous musings of the citizens of Paradise, AZ throughout your visit. So if you were someone who is hard of hearing, wants to play the game muted, or simply has trouble understanding the bizarre ancient dialect of these primitive southerners because of additional language barriers, then you may just find this new update a godsend. On the flip side, this definitely makes it more difficult to play the game with other people in the room, if you were hoping to hide the dialogue from them by wearing headphones. Though really, you probably shouldn't be playing the game with your grandma in the room anyway - you should be encouraging her to play it, instead. Subtitles are supported in English, Russian, Chinese and Polish languages. We won't be stopping with this, either. We are already hard at work, creating new subtitle translations for the game, to make POSTAL 2 more and more accessible to folks around the world, because we want as many people to be able to go postal , from the safety and comfort of their desk chairs, as possible! The full changelog for version 5022 is as follows:

Fix for missing book texture in that beloved bookcase.
Fix for NPCs sometimes not putting away their weapon when done with it.
