Hey everyone,
We’ve just pushed a new update live, and we are thrilled to announce that the frustrating startup crash affecting players with newer Intel CPUs (10th Generation and above) has been completely resolved.
We know this has been a longstanding annoyance for those of you upgrading your rigs. The issue was tied to a deep, engine-level hardware check, but we've successfully implemented a permanent fix directly into the game's executable.
What this means for you: If you previously used the manual workaround we posted in the Support section (messing with Windows environment variables or using custom launch scripts), you no longer need to do this! You can safely revert those changes and delete those scripts. The game will now boot up flawlessly right out of the box for everyone.
A huge thank you to the community for your patience, and to everyone who helped report and track this issue down. Make sure your game is updated on Steam, and jump right back into the action!
As always, let us know in the forums if you run into any other issues.

THE GAMES ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN, AND YOU’RE THE STAR! THE JUDGES CALL FOR YOU, SO PUT ON A GOOD SHOW! I'LL BE WATCHING…
Hello, POSTAL Redux Fans!
A while back, we released POSTAL Redux Pinball for the game Zaccaria Pinball. For those who are not familiar yet with any of this, we have teamed up with Running With Scissors and got permission to make pinball tables based on POSTAL Redux, we have made 4 tables and added them all into 1 pack. All these tables are now playable in Zaccaria Pinball.
The pack is purchasable for $US 7,99 and includes a Retro, Solid State, Remake and Deluxe version of POSTAL Redux.

Hyperstrange friends, RWS fam!
Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon, or Nightmare Reaper, you can get PBD with an additional discount added on top of -20% release discount via one of the special bundle deals.
Plus, we're happy to report it really SLAPS! With more than 1100 reviews it currently enjoys an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating, with more than 95% players recommending the game.
Yes, Hyperstrange really pulled this one off. The game is good and the release has been relatively bug-free despite the 2-week delay made explicitly to implement some bugs and stay on-brand. But it wouldn't be a POSTAL release if something haven't gone wrong. Many of you were waiting for the release of the POSTAL: Brain Damaged Official Soundtrack. The wait is finally over! The OST has arrived, and you can get it separately or bundled with the official Art Book in the POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition.
The Hyperstrange Dev team is very grateful for the amazing reception of PBD. This gives them even more motivation to improve and expand the game post-release. Here's what to expect soon:
Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release (ETA: One week)
Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
More to be announced!
Hyperstrange and RWS are both extremely pleased with the reception of POSTAL: Brain Damaged. We're as excited as you are, to see what the future will bring to this explosive and twisted spin-off.

One week to go and your support has been incredible so far. Over 330 of you have helped PlayTest Network reach 90% of their established goal to fully fund this project that aims to document the good, the bad and the downright batshit crazy story of Running With Scissors and the POSTAL franchise.
When we first announced this project, many people were wondering why would “we” make a documentary in the middle of the development of POSTAL 4. So relaaaax, we are not the ones making the documentary and our games will always be top priority, especially during Early Access. We’re just spreading the word to help the talented team of two passionate guys who want to make this documentary a reality.
If you can’t donate via Indiegogo, here’s some alternatives:
• Donating directly to their PayPal account, [email protected] | Your matched donation amount will place you in with their current perks. • They can also accept checks via snailmail. To get their mailing address, send them an email to [email protected] • (Outside of Indiegogo) They will gratefully take donations even after the campaign ends. As they begin post-production, they fully anticipate more challenges as they move forward with finding a distributor. • Send this campaign to any documentary or video game enthusiast, right now! They might not know about Postal, but you might introduce somebody to their new favorite game! And or they might never talk to you again. Could go either way really.
We’re so close to reaching that goal, we can already taste Krotchy’s nutsack!
And remember, even if you don’t donate, just spreading the word is already a huge help. So please help us spread the word and make this documentary a reality!
As always, thank you all for your continued support! <3

POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the retro-styled FPS spin-off from Running With Scissors’ outrageous series enjoyed by millions, will deliver crude and immature humor, ridiculous weapons, and old school challenge to PC and consoles in 2021. Developed by Hyperstrange (developers of ELDERBORN) and CreativeForge Games to be published by Running With Scissors, POSTAL: Brain Damaged gives a tantalizing taste of the madness to come in its debut trailer, revealed today at Realms Deep 2020.
One too many hits to the head (and hits off the pipe) has everyone’s favorite bathrobed anti-hero, The POSTAL Dude, reeling from brain damage. When he closes his eyes in a drunken, drugged-up stupor, he awakens in a psychedelic, grotesque, utterly twisted dream world. Asylum patients with dildo arms charge ravenously. Serial killer grandmas wield walkers in cut-throat combat. Beware probe-happy aliens reaching for the backside of The POSTAL Dude’s bathrobe.
Shoot through stages of escalating insanity, beating back the nightmares with bullets and urine. Strafe, dash, slide, and bunny hop through massive retro-styled stages, including a grungy asylum, comic convention, Area 69, and more. Each of The POSTAL Dude’s twisted fantasies offers new challenges and a characteristic flow — from corridor shooting through secret passages to blowing up large, open spaces with perfect twitch reflexes — but the hardcore spirit of badass ‘90s shooters bleeds from every orifice.
With a heaping arsenal of nostalgic, bombastic weaponry, POSTAL: Brain Damaged delivers a pure boomer shooter experience. Eviscerate enemies with the double-barreled shotgun, remove flat-earther heads from afar with the devastating railgun, and attach the cat silencer to blast aliens and military zombies with feline style.
POSTAL: Brain Damaged boasts the series’ beloved over-the-top parody and satire of pop culture, politics, and modern society. Escape from reality and unwind while beating back hippies, fleeing from flying fluids, and wiping out enemies to your heart’s content while pixelated blood spurts forth and a thrashing old school soundtrack thumps with every gun blast.
“They just don’t make badass shooters like they used to,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. "Brain Damaged takes the torch from all the pretenders while excreting everything fans want to see from the series that once birthed “The Worst Game Ever™”. The Dude is back and dirtier than ever!”
POSTAL: Brain Damaged launches for PC and consoles in 2021. For more details in the days to come, check out the official website and follow Running With Scissors on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Discord.

Hey guys,
We present to you POSTAL 4: No Regerts, now in Early Access!
We recommend that you check out the Store page and read the ‘What the developers have to say’ post to get an idea of where we are with it so far, and what we have planned!
You are joining us right in the thick of things and will get an insight into our development process, where we pretend like we know what we’re doing! By buying into this, you are helping us make POSTAL 4 all it can be by contributing financially and also providing us with your feedback.

Ah, Christmas… I hope you will excuse the rushed nature of this little holiday message, as I am currently at a bus station, waiting for a bus to visit my relatives. I could have just wrote “Merry Christmas, everyone!” and left it at that, but I had some more sincere thoughts on the mind that I wanted to share.
It would be easy to just wish everyone a merry Christmas, and to say that we hope your holidays are filled with nothing but joy and love, but we know it doesn’t always work out that way. While some are finding it easy to cozy up with loved ones, with a big merry feast, others are alone and dealing with hardships. Christmas itself doesn’t magically make everything better for everyone, everywhere. A lot of us still end up having to deal with unfortunate circumstances. Maybe you find yourself alone this year. Maybe you are forced to work, or otherwise spend the evening away from your loved ones. Maybe some recent tragedy has left a painful scar. We know all too well how rough life can treat you, when you're supposed to be given some reprieve, at least once a year.
But ultimately we cannot expect circumstances to carve our happiness for us, can we? Happiness is not something that just happens; it is hard-fought and earned through striving for it, in spite all the gut-punches that life and circumstance may throw our way. It is self-made, through a stubborn desire to not allow things beyond our control to dictate how we should feel and how we should spend our days. We are the masters of our own fate, and we make our own joy when there is none to be found. That is the resilience of the human spirit.
So from the bottom of our hearts, to all our fans, friends, family and loved ones, to all the freaks, NEETs, creeps, loners and weirdos out there, we wish a very Merry Christmas and we sincerely hope that all of you manage to find the will and stubbornness to find some joy and happiness tonight!
We're aware that we've been pretty quiet for the last couple of months. Some of you may know that this is due to us being busy with a new (secret) game that we're working very hard on, which leaves us very little time to do anything else. However, we're also very aware that we've
We're aware that we've been pretty quiet for the last couple of months. Some of you may know that this is due to us being busy with a new (secret) game that we're working very hard on, which leaves us very little time to do anything else. However, we're also very aware that we've left a few loose ends which we've finally taken the time to address. Today we are updating POSTAL Redux on Steam to version 4.3.0, which aims to fix most of the biggest issues that have been plaguing the game. Hopefully, this means that all of you will now be able to enjoy POSTAL Redux to its fullest, leaving us a bit more free to work on our new stuff. Until we find out that we've broken something else, that is...
First off, we're pleased to finally fulfill our promise of bringing you the POSTAL Redux Soundtrack, which should now be freely available as DLC for all Redux owners on Steam. The soundtrack includes everything from those disturbing loops that you hear in the main menu and title screens for each level, to the tracks that play during Rampage Mode. All of these tracks were created lovingly, by our friends Takumi Sloan and Sean Terry, our Sound Designer Kurt Willoughby, with additional production by Tom Wiseman and Rikki D'Angelo. Each track was made in service of the dark, dirty, gritty, gruesome, disturbing, psychopathic aesthetic style that permeates the game itself, so if those adjectives describe the kind of music that you like to listen to, then you just might enjoy what the soundtrack has to offer. Of course, if downloading it from Steam is too inconvenient for you (or if you don't actually own a copy of POSTAL Redux on Steam - we're not judging), then you can check out this YouTube playlist, which contains all the tracks for your listening pleasure! Give it a try!
How about actual game updates? Well, Linux users can finally rejoice, as the Linux port of Redux has finally arrived on Steam! This is long overdue and many of you have been patiently waiting for it all this time. We know being a Linux gamer is hard enough already, so this is something we're very happy to finally deliver. The Linux port shares all the same content, plus cross-platform multiplayer and Steam Cloud saves with its older Windows brother. Now, many of you who've already been playing the game will be happy to hear that the problems with long load times and stuttering gameplay should be a thing of the past, for real this time (we hope)! We've taken a careful look at how the game handles the loading of its assets and we've optimized it as best as we could, and tested it on a variety of machines both high and low end, the result being that most (if not all) of you having these problems should now see Redux loading and running as smoothly as it should! Also, in keeping with our recent streak of adding new language options for our games, we've updated Redux with a full Chinese localization and subtitles for the Dude's lines, in both English and Chinese as a little something extra for those poor souls out there who would like to go on a violent rampage across Paradise, AZ but just can't get past the language barrier. Other fixes include making certain weapons (such as the molotov) function properly in the Mines level, and adjustments to the weapon balance, particularly for Deathmatch mode which now also includes Carnival and La Palamino Resort as playable maps.
Feel free to scroll down and look through the full patch notes below. Let it never be said that we abandon our games or leave them broken, even if it does take us a while to get around to them...
