It's been about two weeks since Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse shipped, and we've been having a blast watching you all play the game, both the folks who have been replaying it again years later, and the lucky first-timers. Thank you, all of you! We've also been busy. Thanks to the help of fans writing in or posting playthroughs, and a bunch of help from Sam & Max players across Discord, we were able to identify and squash a ton of bugs. While some of these were new to the remaster, many of them are 14-year-old bugs from the original game. Finely aged bugs. They lived a long and full life, but alas, it is their time. The version 1.3.0 patch is now live on Steam as well Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. [h3]All Episodes:[/h3] [list][*] Fixed Max sometimes going invisible during cutscenes when de-transforming from Rhinoplasty. [*] Fixed instances where Max was sometimes scaled infinitely small if the player left a scene when Max was still shapeshifted via Rhinoplasty. [*] Fixed hotspots sometimes being briefly visible in Max Mode. [*] Fixed times when the cursor would get stuck as your currently active inventory item deep in the pause menu. [*] Fixed moments where Sam would appear to collapse in a little bit at the shoulders at random seeming times. Or maybe his arms would go slightly into his body and his ears go droopy. (It was an animation compression issue! Now you know!) [*] Restored Charlie looking at the camera in Max Mode while Max is holding him. [*] Removed Shakespeare quote from dialog box scene that was sometimes visible very briefly. RIP to some great writing by the Bard. [*] Removed old ratings from VHS covers in main menu. [*] Fixed visual pop that sometimes appeared briefly at the beginning of opening credits. [*] Fixed places where timed sequences would expire while the player was in the middle of opening Max Mode, causing Max mode to try and close itself at the same time. We have sorted it out; the game is no longer trying to destroy itself in these moments. [*] UI systems (Max Mode, Inventory, etc.) can no longer be activated before a scene's intro cutscene has started. [*] Fixed Yog-Soggoth spelled incorrectly in multiple places. Sorry about that, Yog-Soggoth. No disrespect. [*] Fixed reversed characters in Russian subway map texture.[/list] [h3]Episode 301: The Penal Zone[/h3] [list][*] Fixed times when the camera would stubbornly refuse to change after backing out of DeSoto close-up view, leaving players stuck on in that camera. [*] Fixed times where the DeSoto was sometimes missing after loading a save. [*] Fixed situations where the BoscoTech Labs elevator would be in the wrong position when teleporting out from ground floor, then teleporting back in again. [*] Fixed DeSoto animation pop when backing up in Street enter cutscene. [*] Fixed Skunkape's feet sticking out of ship in Street intro cutscene. They were really tiny, it was adorable. Now fixed. [*] Fixed hatchet floating in the air after skipping lines when talking to Flint. [*] Fixed Russian translation of "incontinent cop" when asking Stinky about the letter. [*] Fixed Street music not returning after talking to COPS when choosing "Phone call." [*] Stopped Sam from continuing to move around on the flag pole above BoscoTech Labs even if the game is paused. [*] Adjusted Max's Future Vision image of Pudding Head Lincoln to align with actual events. [*] Fixed missing background behind Sam when using Future Vision on him while on Skunkape's Flagship in Act 3. [*] Fixed old cutscene framing when teleporting back to the DeSoto if you left it in the Mysterious Alley. [*] Fixed Grandpa Stinky's badge visible when using future vision on him in act 3. [*] Fixed Grandpa Stinky not moving in Max mode while holding Max. [*] Fixed back button visible after teleporting from Stinky's to Stinky's cell phone in act 3. [*] Fixed incorrect Russian translation when using back door in Meesta Pizza. [*] Moved Flint Paper Nutri-Specs content from Stinky's to a new location, so you can still hear it. Find Flint somewhere else later in the episode! [*] Moved Superball's Nutri-Specs content from Street to Ship. [*] Moved Demon Broth Nutri-Specs content from Stinky's to Ship. [*] Added missing sound effects to use banana peel cutscene in Pawn Shop. You're welcome. [*] Fixed instances where a second Rift Generator could be added to inventory after plugging it in, teleporting to Lab and then teleporting elsewhere. Sorry Rift Generator dupers, this loophole is now closed. (Having multiple Rift Generators was useless, and just made life harder, to be clear.) [*] Fixed background actors sliding instead of walking in the background behind Bob's Toys! (Nintendo Switch only).[/list] [h3]Episode 302: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak[/h3] [list][*] Fixed Max being able to use ventriloquism on Sam and the Guardian while stuck on the wall in the Tomb. [*] Fixed Sam moving when game is paused while stuck on the wall in the Tomb. [*] Fixed Max missing when returning to Tomb after switching reels while stuck on the wall. [*] Fixed Bust going missing from the pedestal after getting hexed by Nefertiti in Tomb. [*] Removed dead space at the end of cutscene in the Tomb where the Toybox gets enchanted. [*] Fixed another item dupe situation: It was previously possible to add a second Sammun-Mak bustto inventory after splitting the first one and getting stuck on Tomb wall. [*] Fixed blown out lighting in Sam ventriloquism cutscenes. [*] Added missing sound FX to a few Can 'O Nuts cutscenes. [*] Fixed scream when using ventriloquism on Nefertiti in Tomb. THEM. [*] Adjusted Max mode camera in blue train car so you can't see into the void. Void's privacy now being respected. [*] Fixed Mole Dad getting stuck in T-pose in green train car after opening trunk and asking him about it. [*] Improved mallet sound effect when Snowcone hits Icebox on the street, after solving the toy idea puzzle. [*] Fixed Cavern finale music continuing to play during Narrator sequence.[/list] [h3]Episode 303: They Stole Max's Brain![/h3] [list][*] Added autosaves to interrogation sequence.
