Greetings, dear players,

Today we pushed update 1.2.0 out. We added translated text for Chinese and German, as well as a lot of optimizations. Enjoy!



List of changes:

• Added localized text for Chinese (both simplified and traditional) and German
  
• On low quality settings, the most expensive post FX are now disabled to improve frame rates on low-end graphics cards
  
• Optimized render state management, which improves performance, especially on low-end CPUs
  
• Optimized task management, which positively impacts performance and battery usage
  
• Fixed a very rare crash which happened after switching to a new level
  
• Fixed stuttering of intro video
  
• Minor improvements to loading times
  
• Fixed a few minor bugs detected by UBSan
  
• Updated Steamworks SDK to 1.40
  

Windows only:

• Windows XP is now supported
  

macOS only:

• Enabled usage of SSSE3 CPU instructions (previously used SSE2 only). Probably no gain in performance because of this, but it can't hurt, either.
  

Linux only:

• Removed dependency on libGL.so, all GL functions are now dynamically loaded
  

Hey there,

here's another patch that addresses a technical problem on older CPUs like the Core 2 Duo.

There's a change for Windows users in this update, that might break the game in some rare cases. We moved the EXE from a sub-directory to the game directory, so you can start the game from outside Steam. This wouldn't work previously, because the game couldn't find the data files when run from the sub-directory.
So if the game fails to launch, make sure the update has downloaded correctly. You may have to restart Steam so it will receive the latest configuration.
If the error persists, there are two things you should know:

• If you previously copied or moved the game files to the main directory yourself, this could clash with the update. In this case, you will get an error message that says "Write error" when launching the game.
  
• If you don't download the update, you can't run the game from Steam anymore, because it will expect the EXE to be at the new location. There will be an error message that says "Missing executable".
  

Let's hope for a smooth update - here goes nothing :)

Nothing exciting, just a quick hotfix: the game was crashing if Steam Cloud was disabled in the settings.

Cheers!
