Octodad: Dadliest Catch - devonsoft

Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Version 1.0.9738

Major:

You can unsubscribe and remove Workshop levels from the Workshop menu now.
Disabling cloud and syncing in Steam will now properly disable it in the game.
Two second safety delay added on level load before suspicion starts hurting you (Infinte death loop prevention).
Reduced physics threads (3 on Mac/Windows and 1 on Linux) that may have been causing performance slowdown and random freezes. If more or less threads are desired they can be edited in OctodadConfig.xml but the max is 10.

Mac:

Fixed bug where starting to use a mouse after starting the game playing with "no-switch" multitouch caused mouse to also be in no-switch mode (moving left leg would also grab objects).
Screensaver disabled while playing the game. (Using controller wouldn't prevent screen saver from showing up.)

Linux:

Desktop resolution properly reset when exiting the game now from fullscreen.
Fixed Borderless mode freezing because it hadn't grabbed input.
Windowed mode no longer starts centered (would sometimes be centered between multiple monitors).
