Whispering Willows Patch 1.6.4 Notes
Ever since launch, we've been keeping an eye on all the bug reports and community feedback the game has gotten.
Today, we're releasing a small patch to address a whole host of those issues!
A large number of changes are dedicated to language-specific problems that arise when swapping from one language to another, so if you're playing using the game's many translations you should have a much smoother experience!

Patch 1.29
We've been gathering feedback over the last several months, and wanted to do one big patch that fixes a lot of the common issues still lingering. If you have any issues, please let us know very soon, as we won't be doing too many more patches after this one.
Patch Notes:
- Translations - All languages have been updated once again, with mostly minor tweaks that we've received from our avid fans. This includes spelling, grammar, incorrect words, and most commonly bugs where text would go off the screen, or be gone entirely.
- Controller Support - We've fixed several major controllers that weren't working in the latest few versions (Xbox One), and updated our controller plugin which now supports even more controllers (Moga) - http://www.gallantgames.com/pages/incontrol-supported-controllers
- Steam HUD Imprint - If you had double monitors, any Steam HUD that popped up (friends logging online, etc) would stay up on the screen, appearing like a bad glitch. This is fixed
- Changing Resolutions - We did additional fixes to this
- Additional Minor Bug Fixes
Language and Settings Update- Patch 1.26/1.27
As of a few months ago we have officially launched Whispering Willows on every major platform and device including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, WiiU, iOS, Google Play, and of course Steam.
There were a few updates we made on other platforms that we wanted to apply to the Steam version.
Patch Notes:
- Updated all translations, fixing various errors
- Chinese characters are displayed more clearly now, before they were blurry at certain resolutions
- Updated Mac and PC to allow the user to change resolutions (and with the mouse now)
- Additional controller support. See full list here- http://www.gallantgames.com/pages/incontrol-supported-controllers
Xbox One and Mobile Launch
We're currently working on updating translations for all versions. We hired some professional proofreaders to clean up all languages. We also will be making a few fixes for a bug that occurs when switching resolution.
The mobile version will be getting updated controls in a week or two. We're currently looking into solutions for it.
