[p][/p][p]It may have seemed quiet, but behind the scenes we’ve been neck-deep in These Sunny Daze DLC's guts, tracing bottlenecks, unclogging blockages and putting together a plan to get things flowing right.[/p][p][/p][h3]This update brings only the small, first wave of improvements[/h3][p] - a starter patch that kicks off a two-part plan to boost performance. [/p][p][/p][p]The next one is already in the works. And while we were down there, we just couldn’t resist sneaking in some new stuff too.[/p][p] [/p][h2]So what's new?[/h2]

• [p]New tropical arena map available in Survival Mode (for P:TSD owners only)[/p]
• [p]Brand-new alt-fire for UrAnisum Syringe (let’s just say it’s not exactly subtle)[/p]
• [p]The sewers in Erection Day have been rebuilt and improved, based on a blueprint straight from your feedback. New routes, same stench. Go see how it flows now![/p]

[p] And speaking of the flow...[/p][p] [/p][p]This update is the first, smaller part of a two-stage process of improving P:TSD’s performance.[/p][p][/p][p]It’s taking time, we know, but we didn’t want to just slap duct tape on the surface. We chose to dig deeper, hunt down the actual causes and fix things at its source. [/p][p]Some areas are already running a lot smoother, so instead of making you wait for the whole thing, [/p][p]we’re dropping a small batch of fixes today.[/p][p][/p][p]We know this isn’t the whole deal. Right now we’re going after the rougher spots and making sure things run better on lower-end rigs too.[/p][p][/p][p]You can expect the second patch to drop before the end of December![/p][p][/p][p]Here's the changes in motion:

Let us know if the ride’s less bumpy and the new content hits the right spots.

The second update's already on the way, and we’ll drop it as soon as it’s cooked![/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Due to a recently disclosed security vulnerability found in some Unity-built games, we wanted to let you know that we’ve already taken care of it on our side.

[/p][p]There’s no indication that the issue was ever exploited or that anyone was affected, but fixes have already been released - and we applied them right away to ensure that POSTAL: Brain Damaged are now fully patched and secure.

[/p][p]You don’t need to do anything on your side - just keep your game updated as usual. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and follow the latest security recommendations to keep everything running safe and sound.[/p][p]
Stay safe!
Hyperstrange out.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[h3]Lock, load, and let the gibs fly! 🚀 [/h3][p][/p][p]The second coming of the boomer shooter fest just slammed a fresh mag and went full-auto - and the carnage is already spreading across Steam! [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]From September 23–27, Boomstock 2025 delivers: [/p]

• [p]a blood-soaked showcase full of new reveals, demos, and trailers,[/p]
• [p]in-game events, giveaways, and more pixelated chaos than your hard drive can handle.[/p]

[p][/p][p]And we’re right there in the crossfire:[/p]

• [p]INCISION - just launched in full 1.0 gory glory![/p]
• [p]Supplice - brand new demo, same old-school brutal attitude![/p]
• [p]POSTAL: Brain Damaged - new DLC out, guns still hot![/p]

[p][/p][p]Jump into the mayhem here: Boomstock 2025 on Steam


Watch the showcase: [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]And let’s paint the Steam red!

[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[p]Bugs screamed. Code cried. The patch didn’t care.


Everything acting up got dragged out back and “retired” permanently.
We nuked the nastiest bugs, smacked the keybinds until they learned some manners, and even the elevators got taught a lesson.


Here’s what we hammered into shape this time:
[/p]

• [p]Fixed custom keybinds not saving properly. There’s one final reset with this patch, but once you set them again, they’ll stick for good.[/p]
• [p]Cleaned up tons of small map issues, including clipping, textures, and other minor cases.[/p]
• [p]Achievements that were unlocking incorrectly should now work as intended.[/p]
• [p]Falling into the kill plane will no longer respawn you at the wrong location.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where Balloonmen could spontaneously explode a few seconds after loading a save.[/p]
• [p]The fuse box on the first DLC level should now work properly for everyone.[/p]
• [p]We’ve adjusted saving on the first level: you can still save before or after the elevator ride, but not while it’s moving - turns out the elevator refuses to cooperate mid-journey.
  [/p]

[p]Stay cool, sip your drinks, enjoy the last days of summer… 'cause October’s forecast has Hurricane Dude on the radar, bringing a rain of update heavy enough to drown the maps like a clogged motel bathroom.[/p]
