DEAD LETTER DEPT. News

• Hot fixing a critical issue preventing native Linux build from launching correctly if you have updated glibc to v2.41 (which apparently broke a lot of backwards compatibility, and fun fact was released the same day as DEAD LETTER DEPT.) Steam Forum thread about it here.
• Cloud syncing on Linux should now fully function correctly
  
• Fixing a rare edgecase issue where entering a Vertical Tab (somehow) in a very very specific circumstance could somehow cause the save data to get corrupted and ultimately reset itself. Also, I learned that Vertical Tabs are apparently a thing, but how you enter one in 2025 is a complete mystery to me (chime in if you're familiar with using these in the modern age).
  
• Adding an error screen on launch to notify you if the Save Data is corrupted/not loadable, which will give you some options to consider. Mainly added this to catch any other weird circumstances after encountering the crazy Vertical Tab thing. If I'm very lucky nobody will ever see it.
  
• Fixing the Recommended Controller layout for SteamDeck not showing up correctly
  
• Fixing minor bug where the Display Resolution setting would get confused and show the wrong entry
  
• Several other minor polish & fixes
  

• Entire UI has been all adjusted to now properly layout for all horizontal based aspect ratios instead of clipping off the screen for edge cases like 3:2. Even in the weirdest of ratios it will still try its best.
  

• Fixed an issue that might have made later parts of the game too dark on some certain setups
  
• Made the chances of █▐░█░█ yourself ░█░ █████ ░░░░██ ░█░░ more lenient
  
• A bunch of various improvements & minor fixes
