Shadowgrounds Patch  by James W at 10:28

PC
A patch for Shadowgrounds has been released fixing various issues such as the PDA crash bug. Some new features include allowing the game to be played without a mouse, in a windowed mode rather than full screen and adds harder difficulty once you have completed the game. The patch also prepares the game to support the upcoming Level Editor, which will be available to download next week.

If you bought the game over Steam it should update automatically, others can download the 6.6mb patch from the link above.

Changelog:

Version 1.04:

FIXES:
* Major crash bug related to fonts fixed (this affected PDAs, weapon upgrade menu and some others)
* Minor text fixes throughout the English version
* One Mission 12 conversation bug fixed

FEATURES:
* Keyboard-only aiming possibility added (no mouse required)
* Windowed mode now with titlebar (movable window)
* Unofficial support for more keyboard buttons
* Error reporting (see below!)


Version 1.02 UK:

FIXES:
* Many collisions fixed in the missions, the player should no longer be able to get to the "edge of the world" in any mission
* New sound drivers might help with some sound issues
* Creating a new player profile name now caps at 19 characters so the text string no longer goes out of screen
* Bugs related to Profiles fixed

Version 1.01:

FIXES:
* Mission 4: ISERCom; Some people have experienced problems like getting stuck in the corridor fight in the middle of Mission 4. After this patch this should be fixed (the doors should open automatically after x minutes).
