Co-op Public Release (1.7.0)

Co-op Public Release (1.7.0) It’s been a very long time coming, but today marks the full public release of co-op for POSTAL 4, after a period of time in public beta. You got POSTAL 4 co-op before GTA 6! Pick your favorite POSTAL dude voice and jump on-line with up to three others

Co-op Public Release (1.7.0)

It’s been a very long time coming, but today marks the full public release of co-op for POSTAL 4, after a period of time in public beta. You got POSTAL 4 co-op before GTA 6!

Pick your favorite POSTAL dude voice and jump on-line with up to three others. Public and private lobbies are supported, as well as the ability to drop in and out. The entire game can be finished in co-op, or you can simply jump into free roam and cause mayhem together. Or not! POSTAL 4 is only as violent as you are, after all.

For anyone not aware of the action wheel, co-op is where it finally gets to shine. Holster your weapon with Middle mouse, and then hit the right mouse button to select from a range of actions, from flipping off your fellow co-op buddies, to twerking together. And yes, you can use it to pet the dog!

In addition to co-op, there have been some modest performance improvements which we’ll be further building on for the next update after this one. We also added an optional shader pre-compiler step on first load to help combat shader stutter when entering a new area.

Thanks, as always, for sticking with us!

Change log

Added optional shader pre-compiler
Optimized the way animals are handled in game
Sledgehammer Go POSTAL event: can now be completed with Charged Sledgehammer damage and Vitamin X Sledgehammer damage

This update focuses on polish, quality of life improvements, bug fixing, balancing and tying up a lot of obvious loose ends based on community feedback. The aim is to make the game more enjoyable for veterans and new comers alike.

Work very much will continue in this area going forward with smaller, more frequent updates to follow. That's not to say P4 will never see any new features or content, but that will come after more polish focused updates.

While we have left older saves compatible (but flagged), it's recommended to start a new game with this update. The previous build (1.5.0) is available in the beta branch should anyone want to roll back to carry on with an in-progress save.

The Beta branch has also been updated and includes many improvements and fixes for co-op (co-op is still exclusive to the beta branch, but is edging close to a public release) The public beta branch can be accessed and switched to via the main in-game menu and does not require a password.

Updated overhead map textures to better reflect the current lap layout. It also removes the prison area as that now has its own map when loaded into that level.

Starting a new day, respawning and getting arrested now restores the players health to full

Fix for player starting with the Spray Can (and other items placing themselves in player's inventory outside of the intended day)
Switched dual-wield fire buttons by default (left mouse fires the left gun, right mouse fires the right gun).

NPCs now exhibit more varied combat behavior: they no longer all draw weapons and fire simultaneously, and are more likely to issue warnings before attacking.
Fixed NPCs' weird posing during turret attacks.
Fixed NPCs' upper body not turning during combat (and possibly other scenarios).
Characters with weapons equipped no longer attempt to use interest points (which led to broken animations).

Steam build Number:1.5.0

Free Roam, Free Regert Update

Hey all,

We’re about to knock off for Christmas, and figured we’d help bring you some festive cheer by releasing a long overdue couple of updates. As of right now, the public release has been updated to 1.5.0 and brings with it some new features, mostly focusing on adding some freedom to the fun you can have with the game, while the public beta brings many new features and improvements to the co-op game.

A much requested free roam/sandbox mode as been added to the day selection screen. No need to finish the game or anything, it’s just there, ready for you to explore, with most areas from the main game being accessible. Many of the grind based achievements can be earned during free roam, too! We’ve also added an Enhanced game, currently exclusive to the PC version. This includes many modifiers such as gaining a midair jump, being immune to fire, starting with extra bonus items every day of the week, and more! Many weapons get various buffs and changes, we’ll let you play around with them to see what’s up. There is also a new feature in the main menu that allows you to pick beta branches directly from it, which include access to older builds of the game and also, the public beta which contains the updated beta version of co-op for up to four players! Co-op is now feature complete if not rather buggy, so we’ve hired a QA team to help us test it more ahead of its full release in a couple of months, but for now you are very welcome to join the public beta branch and give it a try. (Saves are not compatible between the public beta and default branches).

NOTE: Before publishing this patch we realized there has been a bit of amusing jank introduced with NPCs pathfinding if you turn away from them and then look back. They get confused for a few seconds on where to walk, to and then carry on as normal. We'll hot fix this as soon as a programmer is free, we just really didn't want to hold back this Xmas update due to it.

Added

- Free Roam Mode

- Enhanced Game

- Added Language Select option to Game Settings and Aim Assistance and Crouch

- Toggle to Controls settings, you can now fix it to either Keyboard or Controller glyphs (handy for devices like the Steam deck that can use mouse aim on track pads)

- Turkish localization

- Classic Outfit is now buyable from clothing vending machines on Thursday and Friday

- Re-added tracks from KDTF that were previously lost to the radio

- Switching between Steam beta branches from Main Menu

- Kommander Karl Originals weapon cosmetics to Skinporium

Changed/Improved

- General NPC sound improvements

- General NPC interactions with the world improvements

Fixed

- Various crashes

- FPS drops around the posters in the Animal catcher errand

- FPS drops when there are too many NPCs around the player

- FPS drops related to fire

- FPS drops on the 'Border Smuggler' errand after the barrel explosion

- Made various ‘Go Postal’ side missions more reliable to complete

- Situations where the player could fall through the map when pressing ‘end day now’ button

- Situations where player falls under the map after resuming the game

Steam build Number: 1.5.0.1 - Co-op beta (you must opt into the public beta to play co-op)

In order to switch to the beta branch, load POSTAL 4, then in the main menu select 'Beta Branches' and then 'Public Beta'. The game will shutdown and download the beta.

This beta branch includes all the updates from the 1.5.0 patch above, plus these co-op improvements from the previous beta:

-Pickups respawn per player death

- Last render watch code improved in async

- Improvements for physics objects replication/sync

- Map name not updating in server search browser fixed

Development Update

Hello POSTAL Dude’s and Dudettes! It’s been a hot minute since the last game update, so we wanted to take the time to let you guys know what to expect over the next few months. First we’d like to apologize for the slow cadence of updates. To make up for this and lesson the annoya

Hello POSTAL Dude’s and Dudettes!

It’s been a hot minute since the last game update, so we wanted to take the time to let you guys know what to expect over the next few months.

First we’d like to apologize for the slow cadence of updates. To make up for this and lesson the annoyance in the future, we’ve decided to take advantage of Valve's new API features by making it easy to access our internal beta branches!

So while our official public updates will still be a good few months apart, anyone that’s interested to see how the game is coming along can join the cutting edge beta branch, right from the main menu.
We hope to have this feature ready for early next year, if not before, and after that we plan to update the beta branch every week or so.

So, what’s currently in our internal builds, which you guys will be able to access via the beta branches soon, and will make a public release in the new year?

Co-Op!

It’s been a long time coming, but we are finally on the home stretch with 4 player co-op support. It is now possible to finish the game from start to finish, so we are now testing for replication issues and also working on improving performance for the host PC. It really is a lot of fun and we can’t wait for you guys to be able to cause chaos in the streets of Edensin together.

For those of you who have no interest in playing with other people, we still have things in store for you!

Better checkpointing system for single player!

We’ve long been rightfully criticized for not implementing more meaningful consequences for dying while on errand missions, and we’ve worked to correct that. Now, when the player dies and gets sent back to a checkpoint, the game's state will be reverted to what it was when they went through that checkpoint (Health, enemy spawns, weapon and ammo count, etc). This means there are now actual consequences to dying and any progress the player had made with clearing out enemies or completing objectives will be reset. Don’t worry though, we will make sure there are enough checkpoints to mean you won’t lose so much progress that it’s frustrating.
This feature is pretty much done and undergoing testing right now.

Better AI!

We’re putting more effort into NPC AI, and how NPCs interact with each other and the world around them. NPCs have more situational awareness, meaning they will be less likely to do things like stop in doorways to have conversations, blocking the path for other NPCs. We’re also working to improve their general pathing, meaning they won’t wander up into areas you’d not really expect people to be loitering like in the middle of a grassy area when there are paths around (unless they are panicked), and they also are less likely to hug the side of the road and walk in a konga line. Work has been done to keep NPCs spread out across the map better, rather than bunching up into a few areas.

Finally, we’re improving their interactions with the world. More NPCs are now on schedules and will go around doing their jobs or living their lives. We’ve added a lot more animations and boltons too these events too. NPCs that are disturbed from their schedules will rejoin them, and also these schedules are often randomized so each visit to the area will give different results.

We’re working to make sure NPCs move into their interest animations more smoothly, and are polishing up other things such as making sure they look better when seated.

We’re about 30% done with these AI tasks but making quick progress now we’ve updated the code to allow more flexibility.

Tons of sound additions and improvements!

Far too many to list, but a lot of work has been done to improve the overall soundscape in the game, from the open world areas to errands.

Many bug fixes!

And probably a good few introduced too!

Thank you for your continuous support,

Running With Scissors Team

POSTAL 4: No Regerts - "Boosted Karts & Boosted Frames" Update [1.4.0]

Hello! Hello POSTAL community! It’s update time again! A few new features and improvements to hold you over until we get the Co-Op implemented. We know many are getting frustrated at the long wait for co-op, we underestimated the task at hand - but be assured it’s still coming. W

Hello!

Hello POSTAL community!

It’s update time again! A few new features and improvements to hold you over until we get the Co-Op implemented. We know many are getting frustrated at the long wait for co-op, we underestimated the task at hand - but be assured it’s still coming.

We are happy to finally bring you AMD Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2.2) and Nvidia Super Resolution and Frame generation (DLSS 3.7). (No FSR 3.0 frame gen for now, that may come in a future update.)

As well as gaining frames in this update, you’ll also be able to gain some (in game) cash! We have shamelessly recycled some existing gameplay mechanics, so The Dude has a few side hustles he can embark on. Catch more animals! Get more petition signatures! Tag more billboards! We have also added a new racing time trial - this time using the Kart!

With this newly boosted economy, we needed to introduce more ways to waste money so… Introducing the Skinporium! A one stop shop for all your Weapon cosmetic needs.

Another new gameplay feature that no one asked for but we added it anyway - a Turret!

Full change log with more details can be seen below. Much respect to you all, and thanks for your continued support!

The Running With Scissors team

FSR and DLSS Support!

Mid-Game titles on the Lifehacker Phone Page!

Full Stats Screen! Completing the game will earn you a rank, you can also unlock various badges after fulfilling certain requirements

More Ongoing Side-Errands!

Kart Time Trial Challenge in the Affluent tile!

Your legs might not go, but your kart can! Race your Mobility Kart through various checkpoints in town and win fabulous prizes!

Animal Catcher Extension on Tuesday and going forward!

Your exemplary animal catching services have warranted an extended contract for the rest of the week! This time, it's cold, hard cash for every warm, tender morsel! I mean, animal. Current going rate is $50 per Cat and $100 per Dog.

Make all deliveries to the previous station at the north side of town or bring them to the brand new satellite office on the south side, just outside of Cock Asian!

Note: Animal Catcher errand must first be completed, if you begin a New Game on Tuesday forward, it will not activate. Completing the main errand in a Pacifist way will also not activate the Animal Catcher Extension on Tuesday.

Volunteer Petitioner on Thursday, accessible after escaping from the Dark Lodge!

Convince people to sign yet another petition for a good cause! That cause being money which goes into your pocket! Go for the hard sell!

Tag Turf Return on Wednesday and going forward!

Show the locals who really owns the town by hitting any unmarked billboards with your personal tag, and get an instant cash reward to boot! But beware! Rival gangs might not take too kindly to an outsider getting up in their turf!

Hey there legends! And Happy birthday 21st birthday to POSTAL 2!

We are currently still beavering away at a nice big update for you guys for P4, but in the meantime we have this smaller update for you, which addresses the issues you guys have reported across Steam Forums, and our social media (Thank you!) - plus some animation improvements.

While we’re here, we’ll update you a bit on what’s going on with P4 in general. Co-op ended up being a much bigger endeavor and challenge than we expected, but it’s still very much being worked on and we hope have it ready for at least an open beta this summer.

We are in the process of implementing and testing DLSS and FDR upscaling and frame generation, and hope to have that ready for the next update.

We realize there has been some performance regressions since we updated the gore system last update, and are very much working to sort that out.

We are also working to improve how saving and checkpointing is handled currently for a future update.

There is more, but we just wanted to comment on things that are happening sooner than later.

Thanks, as always, for your patience and support!

Hello POSTAL Dudes and Does!

POSTAL 4: No Regerts - "Filthy Gorgeous" Update [1.2.0]

Attention POSTAL fans and frenemies!

This update is less about throwing more features into the game and more about improving presentation and polish.

Our development team has been hard at work (and will keep at it) programming our NPCs to take in their surroundings and interact with each other in more complex and, dare we say, more interesting ways.

We've given particle effects a long-awaited makeover. For all the pyromaniacs out there, setting things ablaze and extinguishing them with your personal... ahem, 'firehose'... is now more visually gratifying than ever. And for those who love a good kaboom, you'll find explosions much more rewarding with the revamped effects. As for the chaos-causing explodable vehicles, we've tweaked them for maximum boom!

Turning to the world of POSTAL 4, we've rolled up our sleeves and reworked various environments to enhance your gameplay experience. The notorious Zag has received particular attention and is now bursting with new details and easter eggs for you to discover. We've also ironed out more kinks with physics objects, improving how they behave and interact following their introduction from the last update.

We haven't forgotten about the heat of battle, either. You'll notice smoother performance during intense gunfights, especially when the screen is crowded with NPCs going POSTAL.

And for all you controller warriors, we're taking PC controller support up a notch, with a batch of fixes already in place and more refinements on the way.

Stay tuned for more updates!

The Running With Scissors team.

AI Improvements! We are continuing the work on AI, this update introduces some improvements and new additions:

Improved navigation
NPCs will react better to fires. They’ll try to run away from a burning NPC that’s closest to them
If you hit an NPC, they may start recording you and talk trash, there’s also a chance they will hit you
Female NPCs might complain to a random male NPC or a Cop
If an NPC decides to stand up for the victim, he will scold and may kick you
If you hit an NPC from behind and run away with your weapon hidden, they may become suspicious of another character closest to them
NPCs will bypass others without colliding with them
More dialogue is now used for different NPC states

More Interest Points for NPCs across levels!

Custom Difficulty Menu with ability to save / load custom difficulty presets!

Sounds to more buildings and areas!

New and improved particle effects! (Explosions, blood effects, impacts, piss, fire)

Few Dropkick 'Going POSTAL' Challenges!

Camera Shakes from Explosions and added Camera Shake support for the Reflex Sight reticle!

Better skyboxes, changing depending on the day with Friday being the darkest in tone!

Police Scooter variant!

Interactable safes around Edensin! Explore, find codes to open them and enjoy some extra cash / goodies

Set dressed more empty areas in the game such as MikeJ’s mansion, Food Court, High Seas hotel in the Zag, Pie House, added more breakable windows, improved lighting, landscape and more (See screenshots below)

When walking over grated metal surfaces while with wet feet will now play the grate footstep sounds

NPCs will now scream about the birds when hit with the Pigeon Mine

Adjusted health, ignition health ratio, explosion delay, and explosion upwards impulse on all explodable vehicles
Adjusted explosion damage and radius on larger vehicles to be bigger and do more damage
Fixed missing engine fire and smoke particle effects on explodable vehicles that pass ignition damage threshold
Added burning fire audio to accompany engine fire particle effect
Significantly decreased time it takes for engine fire to appear (more warning time for players that the vehicle is about to explode)
Fixed several vehicles not taking damage from fire

Phew, this update took a lot longer to get out than we hoped. We’ll spare you the excuses, thank you for your patience with us, and skip straight to the highlights of what this update contains!
The headliner is the physics pass! While we have more work to do in this area in both improving the physics of the objects, and adding more, there is enough here already for you guys to have some fun kicking stuff around.

Speaking of kicking… we are excited to introduce the drop kick!

There are also errand improvements, AI improvements, UI improvements, new Going POSTAL challenges, mirrors, more interactive environment objects, level design improvements, sound design improvements, a crap ton of bug fixes, and so much more.

We also have many more features and improvements nearly ready that didn’t quite make the cut for this update - we’ll post a developers update regarding all that soon.

Note: We highly recommend starting a new save game for this update. For anyone wishing to use their current saves on update 1.1.1, we’ve added a beta branch for it.

With all that out of the way, feast your eyes on a changelog so long it exceeds Steam's character limit. For the full list of bug fixes, please visit our website: https://runningwithscissors.com/postal-4-no-regerts-lets-get-physical-update-1-1-2/
