• The game should run in Windows XP again, probably

• Corrected no typos... Could we have caught them all? Time to consult our typokedex!

Out now for Windows and Mac, and coming very soon to Linux, it's version 1.10!

Major updates:

• We've added controller support! The game should notice if you are trying to use a controller and update your UI as appropriate. We've tested a variety of Playstation and Xbox controllers on Windows and Mac — let us know if your Steel Battalion control rig isn't working and we'll see if we can support that too.
  
  
• On the back-end we updated to a new version of Unity. We tested the game in-house, but this is a significant upgrade and there might be new bugs that we missed. Please report anything wonky that you find and we’ll look into it ASAP!

Captain updates:

• West of Loathing takes up even less drive space than it used to, with the minor trade-off of slightly longer load times here and there
  
  
• Night mode can be disabled with the launch option “--reset-nightmode”
  
  
• Big Spleen is now correctly marked as a perk, so it doesn't have a useless [+] next to it on the skill screen

• The lockbox in Orehole Mine is now clearer about how it should be opened
  
  
• Skeletons in the prologue can no longer be poisoned

• New, safer, code is used to save the game — this should prevent players from (rarely) ending up with a save file filled with zeroes
  
• Short on space? West of Loathing now takes almost 50% less drive space than it did before (we packed the 0s and 1s much closer together)
  
• Short on time? The game now loads 80% faster, so you spend more time playing and less time not playing
  
• Short on RAM? Memory usage has been reduced significantly — this may help with some crashes on older PCs
