Hey there! Right on time (sort of) for the Summer Sale, here's a juicy update for FEZ. The Windows version is the first to update, Ethan is working on the Mac and Linux updates as I type this; shouldn't take more than a day. Without further ado, here's the changelog :

• Screen will no longer pillarbox, only letterbox, whichever resolution is chosen. This enables arbitrarily wide resolutions (multi-monitor)
• Added borderless fullscreen toggle in video settings menu (workaround for AMD flickering bug)
• Added power saving mode (-ps), also accessible through Launch Options dialog. This mode may make the game run at a slightly lower framerate than your hardware is capable, but significantly reduces CPU usage, which makes it preferrable on laptops or hardware susceptible to thermal throttling
• Fixed rare case where waterfall would never open
• Added fix for old savefiles with the telescope double-item spawn glitch
• Sound effect volume now affects map navigation sound effects
• Added additionalDeadzone entry to settings file, and made gamepad thumbstick deadzone wider by default
• Separated X and Y look invert based on player feedback (old option affects both on first run)
• Removed OptimusFix from Steam launch script, since it caused more problems than it fixed
• Merged in new version of music streaming library which should lead to better performance
• Music streaming CPU usage fix applied to Mac and Linux versions as well
• Garbage-textured blocks no longer rendered in perspective view
• Fixed credits entries
• Clock tower level has more permissive fall damage
• Traversing levels downwards with flying cheat is easier
• Fixed bright edges on some 3D art objects
• Fixed minor collision issues
