Various other level design bug fixes


Other:

Fix for possible co-op freeze when certain gamepad devices are
connected.
Ability to toggle audio output between mono, stereo, 5.1 surround,
7.1 surround
Reduce access to save file, create additional backups to saves.
Resize fullscreen resolution down if desktop resolution is smaller
than 1280x720 (or game resolution)
Tutorial notifications now change instantly based on dominant device
Two second safety delay added on level load before suspicion starts
hurting you (Infinte death loop prevention).
Reduced physics threads (2 on Mac/Windows and 1 on Linux) that may
have been causing performance slowdown and random freezes. If more or
less threads are desired they can be edited in OctodadConfig.xml but the
max is 10.
End credits people are set to ignore Octodad and disappear after 20
seconds to fix bug where Octodad could not leave the theater.
Fixed an issue where arms would not trigger triggers when grabbing
an object.
Respawning jointed physics objects more stable.
Amount of rain on boat reduced to improve performance (you can
still turn it off completely by lowering Physics Detail in Game
Settings. Yeah, I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's really
the only detail setting supported in editor to hide meshes currently.)
Poor Shader Quality now has transparency. (Poor Shader Quality not
recommended unless the other shader mode doesn't work, or you have a
very fast CPU and a terrible graphics card. It can be much slower than
High Quality because it doesn't use hardware skinning or instancing.)
Other fixes for Poor Shader Quality animation/skinning bugs.

Mac:

Fixed bug where starting to use a mouse after starting the game
playing with "no-switch" multitouch caused mouse to also be in no-switch
mode (moving left leg would also grab objects).
Screensaver disabled while playing the game. (Using controller
wouldn't prevent screen saver from showing up.)
Graphics performance increase for non HD4000 cards (HD4000 shader
driver bug workaround was slowing down other cards). If you have an
HD3000 please let us know if it is more playable now.
OpenGL multithreading enabled which may improve performance on some
CPUs.
Needless glFlush() removed to improve graphics performance.

Editor

On Input Trigger Event expanded to allow specific keyboard and
mouse options.
Fixed an issue with fog settings affecting multiple tabbed levels
Fixed an issue where attributes would not properly show up when
creating an object
Added link to wiki in Help menu
Log when end level event occurs
Custom FMOD sound banks now can load from zip file.

Thanks and have a nice day :)
Here I was thinking about how the last third of the game sucked, they go around and make it better. Now that's commitment (even if we apparently got this later than Steam did).
Any news on the new updates?
No "Shorts" for GOG customers? :(
I was curious about the latest patch... and according to the Forums on Steam... Gog should already have it... here's the reply I got...

I believe it should be available at GOG, but it requires redownloading and reinstalling the game."

I tweeted the developers some days ago and they answered that they gave the builds to GOG and wanted to look into it.
I just redownloaded and reinstalled the game and unfortunately it's still not the new version :(
