Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space version 1.0.3 is now live on Steam (and Xbox and Nintendo Switch)! This is a small update that fixes a bunch of little bugs and quality of life issues across the game.
Season-wide:
- Fixed situations where selecting a character to start an interactive dialog would seem to cancel out, with Sam walking away instead of talking to them. (This was related to issues with joysticks not being fully centered, and Sam imperceptibly walking away from the character you selected, rudely choosing to bail out on the dialog.)
- Fixed dialog selection UI disappearing in the driving mini-games when time runs out while choices are active.
- Up-resed texture for shark, Hawaiian t-shirt and tiki head in Stinky's Diner.
- Italian & Spanish translation fixes in subtitles and game textures.
