With the help of the community, we have finally identified the underlying cause for several crash issues that manifested on some systems. 1.3 fixes this underlying problem (a synchronization issue between the rendering and main game threads), which resolves these issues.
This patch also officially implements support for loading higher-resolution UI (e.g. modded) textures. As a consequence, you can now use the HD texture pack mod without requiring a special modified executable.
Patch Notes for Version 1.3
- Fix render thread synchronization issues which could cause several types of crashes on some systems.
- Implement support for handling higher-resolution UI images.
- Fix overdrive button prompt icon when playing with keyboard/mouse or xbox controller prompts selected.
- When playing in Japanese, use the Japanese logo images on the title screen and display Japanese names for all the character and location introduction text graphics.
Version 1.3 is available now.
Note on Reverting to Previous Versions
While we of course aim for each new version to only solve issues and provide improvements over all previous ones, it is always possible for something to break on some particular configuration.
Therefore, we keep all versions available as Beta branches in Steam. Should an update lead to issues on your system, you can revert to a previous branch by selecting "Properties" -> "Betas" in the Steam library and choosing a version from the drop down menu. If you can confirm that the new version caused a problem, please report it as a regression.
