Hi Everyone,
A new version of the game is now available, with various smaller fixes and improvements.
This is the first of many planned updates that will come to this game on GOG. We regualarly work on our old games, brining fixes and improvements, and sometimes bigger features :)
For Kaptain Brawe specifically we have big plans in the coming 6-12 months, for example we're working on gamepad support currently.
So, if you find any issues, minor annoyances or even something simple as a typo - please point it out, here on the forum or at support@cateia.com.
Now, back to this update, here's what' new:
Improvements:
Subtitle sync fixed
Some users experienced subtitles not syncing to voiceovers properly. This should now be fixed for good. The game now uses the actual playback position from the sound card instead of an arbitrary timer.
If you experienced desync in the previous version, please give the new version a try and let us know in the comments if it's working ok now on your PC.
Support for full text in subtitles
Several players pointed out that if you're playing the game on a language other than English or German, then some subtitles often pass way too quickly to read them. With this new option you can now see the entire subtitle at once instead of split into 2-3 smaller segments.
Additionally, you can now opt to manually click to advance subtitles, a feature that existed when voiceovers were turned off, but now works in combitation with voiceovers (but only if full text mode is selected). The text will stay on until you click on it, so you can read it at your leasure.
Support for hiding subtitles
Due to popular demand, you can now opt to play the game without subtitles.
However, this will work only if you have chosen English voices and are playing the English version of the game (Or German voiceovers + german version).
Fixes:
Improved Russian translation
Thanks to steam user uka7777, The russian translation has been improved! Over the years we addded more features and thus - more texts, which we had to translate using Google translate. Which is, well, less than ideal translation-wise.
If anyone else is willing to help out with inspecting and/or fixing other translations, contact us at support@cateia.com :)
Fixed game lock in Schminkell 7
Thanks to steam user Kuulintu, we managed to find and fix a problem in Schminkell 7 where you could hard-lock the game up if you played in a certain order.
