We are pushing out this most recent update to address various reported issues as well as improve the overall experience for both new and returning players!

Quality of Life
- Adjusted inventory so it will now always select the last item the player was hovering over when opened
- Adjusted elevator in all episodes so it will now default selection to match the floor the player is on

Improvements
- Added a SYNC button to achievements screen which will ensure the local achievements and the platform achievements match
- Adjusted save system to ensure steam cloud saves now contain all progression instead of having some of it exist in the player's Registry
- Adjusted Quality settings so that VSYNC is now always forced on and additionally added a cap to FPS in cases where the player disable it, these will both ensure the game does not run at very high FPS on high powered machines

Fixes
- Possible fix for issue where Sal's walk animation would not play correctly
- Fixed issue where players could open/close the pause menu during certain actions
- This corrects issue where during episode 4 players could swap Sal and Larry's position or potentially softlock themselves
- Fixed issue where the game would not properly recognize when the DLC was not installed
- Fixed issue in episode 5 where 3D Sal's arm was not displaying properly
- Fixed translation issue at the start of episode 1 where the gravestone text could sometimes have overlapping text

If you experience any issues, please report them by either posting in the Steam discussions, the official Sally Face Discord, or by emailing me directly at [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks and enjoy!
