| Update notes October 2nd | 2021-10-02 | Heya all, Sturm here; the update adds two unrelated things: - for dual GPU setups (mostly laptops), the windows version will now request to be run on the dedicated GPU by default; this should hopefully fix any "green flickering" effects people were seeing due to poorly engineered and buggy Intel drivers - Launch options for the "Bestest Dancers" comics have been added that will open your file browser automatically, so you don't have to go the "Browse Local Files" route anymore |
