• This patch is live for Windows, Mac, and Linux (which means that Linux now has controller support)
• The game should run in Windows XP again, probably
• Macs with Retina displays should now display the game at a reasonable size instead of in a tiny baby window
• Changed the setting from "blend" to "liquefy" so the game should load faster and have a smoother texture if you try to drink it
• Controller UI elements should now hide themselves if you start using the mouse or keyboard to play
• The Character/Skill screen will use the original layout on PC when using keyboard or mouse instead of a controller
• We the developers resolve that in order form a more perfect game, the list of screen sizes should no longer list the same resolution multiple times
• Options screen tooltips are no longer mostly off-screen in non-16:9 resolution windows
• Scrolling the map with WASD is back to being a peppy and enjoyable experience for all ages
• Several places* that you could clip through the scenery and walk behind the world should no longer allow that (Clippy, you're drunk, go home)
• If you’ve unlocked Ruthless as a perk (but not Honorable) you should now be able to select that perk when skipping the Prologue
• The post office’s “infinite sauté knives” promotion has ended
• Silver (and silver plated) weapons should now (finally) actually do extra damage versus demonic creatures
• Grace should no longer exhort you to collect a goblet if you’ve already tossed it into a bottomless pit
• The portion of the Necromancer quest line that involves the Ley Line diagram should now work more intuitively
• The portion of the El Vibrato quest line that involves taking a keystone to the Lost Dutch Oven Mine has been clarified and is a bit more friendly
• Fixed some bugs that we introduced while fixing other bugs
• Corrected no typos... Could we have caught them all? Time to consult our typokedex!

Say howdy to West of Loathing -- a single-player slapstick comedy adventure role-playing game set in the wild west of the Kingdom of Loathing universe. Traverse snake-infested gulches, punch skeletons wearing cowboy hats, grapple with demon cows, and investigate a wide variety of disgusting spittoons.

Talk your way out of trouble as a silver-tongued Snake Oiler, plumb the refried mysteries of the cosmos as a wise and subtle Beanslinger, or let your fists do the talking as a fierce Cow Puncher. Explore a vast open world and encounter a colorful cast of characters, some of whom are good, many of whom are bad, and a few of whom are ugly.

Features:

• a sprawling open world, chock full of danger, quests, puzzles, and mysteries
  
• lush hand-drawn black and white graphics
  
• full stick-figure customization
  
• thousands of jokes, gags, and goofs
  
• crunchy turn-based combat (but only if you want it)
  
• liberal use of the Oxford comma
  
• over 50 hats
  
• disreputable saloons
  
• several gulches
  
• a drunk horse

NOTE: characters are not literally colorful (the game is in black and white)
