West of Loathing changes
- Officemap
This patch is live for Windows, Mac, and Linux (which means that Linux now has controller support)
The game should run in Windows XP again, probably
Macs with Retina displays should now display the game at a reasonable size instead of in a tiny baby window
Changed the setting from "blend" to "liquefy" so the game should load faster and have a smoother texture if you try to drink it
Controller UI elements should now hide themselves if you start using the mouse or keyboard to play
The Character/Skill screen will use the original layout on PC when using keyboard or mouse instead of a controller
We the developers resolve that in order form a more perfect game, the list of screen sizes should no longer list the same resolution multiple times
Options screen tooltips are no longer mostly off-screen in non-16:9 resolution windows
Scrolling the map with WASD is back to being a peppy and enjoyable experience for all ages
Several places* that you could clip through the scenery and walk behind the world should no longer allow that (Clippy, you're drunk, go home)
If you’ve unlocked Ruthless as a perk (but not Honorable) you should now be able to select that perk when skipping the Prologue
The post office’s “infinite sauté knives” promotion has ended
Silver (and silver plated) weapons should now (finally) actually do extra damage versus demonic creatures
Grace should no longer exhort you to collect a goblet if you’ve already tossed it into a bottomless pit
The portion of the Necromancer quest line that involves the Ley Line diagram should now work more intuitively
The portion of the El Vibrato quest line that involves taking a keystone to the Lost Dutch Oven Mine has been clarified and is a bit more friendly
Fixed some bugs that we introduced while fixing other bugs
Corrected no typos... Could we have caught them all? Time to consult our typokedex!
