UPDATE: Due to miscommunication on our behalf, we neglected to fix a bug that affects the Russian language version of the game. This bug blocks progress when playing with Russian subtitles. The only workaround right now is to switch to English or another language. We are currently working on a fix and expect to patch very soon. This one's been on the beta branch for a while, but we're finally bringing the long-awaited Russian translation (subtitles only) to the main branch! Version 5.7.6 also brings with it a few other fixes:

Russian localisation, created by a group of dedicated fans (see below)
Fixed occlusion bugs in Northlands forest
Added baked lightmaps that were missing in "Deleted scenes"
Fixed Facebook integration to work with latest API
Small UI fix for the in-game language menu
Fixed material on protestor in Europolis
We want to extend a very special thanks to the awesome fans who put together the Russian translation. огромное спасибо!:

At the start of the year we brought you the news that Dreamfall Chapters' "Final Cut" update would arrive this March—'March' being a word that here means, apparently, 'July'. OK so it's a bit late, but you can now play Red Thread Games' five-part episodic adventure with enhanced art and sound effects, improved performance, and a few other pleasant additions, and that's not bad at all for a free update, now is it?
The Final Cut update is detailed here on Steam, but it's also available on GOG, and on both stores you can currently buy the whole adventure with a sizable 40% discount. The free patch adds playable deleted scenes, an in-game map, a concept art gallery, and a character library, but also the following stuff:

Improved art and sound, including new and revised character models, improved lighting, an expanded soundtrack, remastered voice-overs and reworked sound effects
Improved performance
Improved controller support
Improved German and French localisation
Support for save slots
Updated Unity game engine
A HUGE amount of smaller bug fixes (seriously, the list is too long to post here)

Dreamfall Chapters has been updated to version 5.2, which addresses a number of bugs. This update:

Fixes a problem with buggy graphics on Mac, resulting in square, coloured artefacts appearing in scenes. This also includes other visual fixes for the Mac
Fixes an issue with missing lights in the Enclave in Book Two, affecting dialogues with Enu and Likho
Makes it easier (we hope!) to solve the musical puzzle in the Journeyman Inn for tone-deaf players
Fixes an issue with the materials on the Dreamer in chapter 7, to make it less shiny. It was too shiny. Way too shiny
Brings back missing sound-effects and voices for the guards banging on the roof gate in the Friar's Keep scene
Updates the cut-scene with Mira at the end of the Kidbot job path — nothing big, it should just look better now
Fixes an issue with buggy anchoring in the settings menu
Fixes missing collision geometry in Marcuria, which made it possible to exit the world — no more YouTube videos of flying Kians!
Boosts footsteps on wooden surfaces, which was noticeable in (e.g.) the Hand That Feeds
Improves email format check for Red Thread account setup, to notify users of things like double @s
Fixes an issue with targeting Crow on top of Klacks' stage in Book Four, which was frustrating
Fixes a problem with the light beams in the Book Four Interlude on Macs, which made it super hard to solve the puzzle. Other light beams should also be improved now on Mac
Fixes an issue where players could enter the vintner's booth and confuse the vintner in Book Five. You don't want to confuse the vintner
Fixes an issue where you could open the game menu while a scene faded in, which caused the game to stop responding when loading a previous save
Some smaller fixes which might rightly be considered spoilers if we included them here, so we didn't
This version does not include German and French subtitles. These will be included in version 5.3, which is tentatively scheduled for next week.
