We will update the game pretty frequently, many times daily, to fix bugs and improve the game.

Any future updates will be posted here.

'Holy fuck, it’s been a month since the last update' Update

WARNING: This Update includes A Lot of new cool stuff but it does not include any significant performance updates. In fact, in some areas it’s probably worse than the last build in terms of FPS (although there should be fewer instances of hitching). We focused on new content at the expense of performance. Now it is VERY IMPORTANT that we get this sorted out ASAP! Henceforth, we will be focusing our ENTIRE TEAM on optimization for as long as it takes to improve the janky ass framerate and remove all the major hitching present in the build.

Typically we’d have done this later in development but early access changed that. We want everyone to have a smooth experience. We will get this janky game running smoothly before pushing forward with adding more significant new features. Thanks for your understanding and support!

Happy Valentines
❤️

Volunteer Firefighter:

On Monday, after the Dude receives his tasks from the job agency, he receives a Mayoral Alert on his phone. It turns out the town’s fire station is on fire! With no fireman having stepped foot into Edensin in the last 40 years, a call for volunteer firemen (or firewomen) has been put out to the public. It’s none of the Dude’s business, but hey, there’s a small paying bonus if you do it!

Art Dealer:

On any day of the week, the Dude may enter the local art gallery which he initially discovers is completely devoid of any artwork on display. However, the proprietor beckons the Dude to accept a job for her. The dealer asks if he’ll go around town finding any special purple-framed paintings, part of the so-called “Royale Collection” that she’s after, and deliver them to her to put on the exhibition. Each delivered painting will yield a cash reward, and even dupes will pay out a smaller reward. Upon delivering a full set, the Dude will get a large bonus as well. Better get exploring if you want that fat cash reward!

We were planning on putting out three side-errands, but unfortunately one of them wasn’t quite ready to go. It should be going out soon though, stay tuned!

'Smack My Hitch Up!' Update

You wanted performance improvements? You have them! As promised, we put pretty much the entire team onto the task of optimization for a few weeks. This process is still ongoing, and future updates will improve things further, but for now, you should have a much more enjoyable experience with this update in the way of higher framerates and far less hitching.

Many new features and improvements, too!

Note: Older saves will not work with this new update. They will be marked as red and should be deleted. Future updates should not break older saves - this is a one off thing.

===Added===

- Bystander Deathcrawling: There are currently two ways they can get to it: by being lit on fire and left to burn out or by begging for their life and still being attacked
- Deathcrawl-after-ragdoll: if a pawn is 20% health or less, or they were kicked with Vitamin X, they'll go into deathcrawl when they recover from being ragdolled
- Stumble animation, when a pawn runs for a certain distance they will stumble and stop to catch their breath
- Machete charging sound
- New faces on more Male pawns
- Third-person animations for GasCan, Urethra, Pigeon Mine, Grenade and Beggar Sign (also TP fixes - see fixed section for more details)
Proper controller support: Map screen navigation with gamepad analog, navigation for inventory tab of phone, tab switching on map screen and more!
- New loading screen transition after Dude gets arrested
- Load zones! Due to absolutely no demand, a feature form POSTAL 2 has made a return! They are far quicker with fewer of them compared to P2 though, so they probably need a rebranding… lets call them ‘ZAP ZONES’*

*ZAP ZONES are hopefully only a temporary solution to the level hitching issues in POSTAL 4 and we aim to reintroduce full level steaming in the future when we’re doing our final optimizations. We’re pretty sure you’ll agree the trade off is worth the results in the here and now.

===Changed/Improved===

Although 2GB is not ideal, you should still be able to run it. What CPU do you have though? There are lots of 2GB cards out there, so it would be helpful if you could also tell me the exact model name of your GPU
