Changelog for Patch / GOG-8 (Windows) / GOG-11 (Mac) (added 22 September 2016):

** The Linux version will be updated ASAP **

UI and Text Resizing:

- Sunless Sea was made in Unity 4, which had some limitations particularly around the way it handled text. As a pretty text-heavy game, we ended up with many players finding the game unplayable due to their screen resolution. Text was tiny or fuzzy. Not ideal!

- Happily, in Unity 5 we’ve been able to do a lot more with the user interface, and have fixed the fuzzy/tiny text problems (with the help of everyone who opted into the Unity 5 beta - thanks!). Please enjoy fiddling with the size of your text and the gazetteer to your heart’s content.

Changelog for patch 2.2.2.3125 / GOG-12 (Windows) / GOG-21 (Mac) / GOG-10 (Linux) & Zubmariner: GOG-6 (Windows) / GOG-20 (Mac) / GOG-5 (Linux) (added 12 December 2016):

What needs to be "authenticated?" Is this for singleplayer or multiplayer?

It's a singleplayer game. Authentication is required to download story updates (+ assets) from the dev when they're released; presumably GOG eventually packages these updates into an offline installer (although I don't know for sure).

Authentication is also required to download "exclusive" items and stories - your local profile, which syncs with your cloud profile, has to be marked as eligible for those. If it's not, you can edit the local profile and set it to read only, then authenticate and update.

After the stories are downloaded, they can be played without further authentication.

Does anyone know whether the Wisdom prison warden storylet is fixed?

I hope GOG will eventually get offline versions of those stories soon.

Exclusives? Not a chance, and not GOG's fault. I can't find the thread now, but people have been asking about their promise to make backer-only content available "eventually" and the takeaway was basically "haha lol nope".

Base game and DLC Zubmariner

Changelog for patch v2.2.2.3129 / GOG-13 (Windows) / GOG-22 (Mac) / GOG-11 (Linux) & Zubmariner: GOG-22 (Mac) / GOG-6 (Linux) (added 01 February 2017):

- Pirate Poet and Cladery Heir available now!
- As of today’s update, the Pirate Poet and Cladery Heir are available to all players of Sunless Sea as part of the base game, and free of charge!
- We consulted with our Kickstarter backers before Christmas and they have graciously said that the more people can play all of the content, the better. Please thank them, their backing made this happen!

The Pirate Poet
- Captains, beware! The Pirate-Poet now zails the zee, seeking a worthy rival. The pirates of Gaider’s Mourn tell many stories of this clay corsair. Can you be the one to finally best her?

The Cladery Heir
- A surgeon of such skill that she can amputate flaws of character and excise unwanted foibles…
- The Cladery Heir is a new officer with her own storyline - during which you can acquire a new ship, the Cladery Heart. She can be picked up at Fallen London when you have 'A New Recruit' at 1 or more.

Thank you for this content !
