POSTAL 4: No Regerts - "The Update Formerly Known as Nameless" [1.3.0]
POSTAL 4: No Regerts · published
Hello POSTAL Dudes and Does!
Yeah, we drew a blank on making some kinda joke reference name for this update, so just made a joke out of that instead. A bad joke is better than no joke… Right?
Unlike most of our previous updates, there is no major standout new feature this time, just lots of smaller improvements to elevate the overall experience based on feedback. In the spirit of our half-assed update title, we’ll half ass this blurb too - and skip right to the patch notes!
(Note, DLSS and FSR 2.0 didn’t quite make this update, but we’re currently testing it, and it will be included in the next update)
Thanks for your continued support and not giving up on us! (and if you have given up on us, well, thanks for your past support!)
