Cuphead news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29136746/05c067f10321d6d7f7e83b5fa4a6cc320fb25e21.png Well hello there! It’s surreal to be able to say this, but the time is here at last…The Delicious Last Course expansion launches tomorrow. We cannot wait for the wonderful Cuphead community on Steam to set sail for this new adventure, experience the story of brand new playable character Ms. Chalice, and take on some of the biggest and wildest boss battles we’ve ever created! In preparation for tomorrow, we have released a small but important update which contains some necessary code adjustments to allow the base game to function with the DLC on launch day. However, keen players will also notice a small but highly requested quality of life improvement — the ability to swap your weapon loadout from the “Retry” screen of a boss battle instead of having to back out to the map to do so! As we look back on the road to release, we can’t thank everyone enough for their kindness, patience, and continued support. Now, there’s nothing left to do but prepare your appetite…for adventure!!

Hotfix Patch Notes 1.2.3

We hope everyone is having a swell time with Cuphead 1.2, enjoying the chance to play as Mugman or exploring the Inkwell Isles in a brand new language. This patch specifically addresses two issues across PC & Mac: • Fixed macOS crashing on boot experience for users of Macs that don't support Metal. The game should now boot and run properly across the full range of Macs that support the game's minimum specifications! • Fixed minor Baroness Von Bon Bon mini jawbreaker bug in which several enemies would stutter while moving for those playing on a high refresh rate monitor.

We're excited to announce that we've just released our biggest (c)update ever in the form of Cuphead 1.2, on both PC and Mac. It's packed to the gills with a bevy of brand new features such as: • CHARACTER SELECTION! For the first time ever, select Mugman right from the start of your adventure in single player! • FULLY ANIMATED CINEMATICS! Now, all of the game’s cutscenes play out in fabulous locomotion! • FULLY LOCALIZED TEXT IN ELEVEN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES! In addition to English, we’re thrilled to be able to offer Cuphead in French, Italian, German, European Spanish, Latin Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. We know how long folks have been waiting for this, so we took special care in the quality of each translation, and curated fonts that felt just right for each audience. In fact, we even partnered with expert calligraphers to bring the Boss & Level title lettering to life in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese – drawing inspiration from the early cartoon works of each country! • OODLES OF BRAND NEW ANIMATION AND ART! Cuphead and Mugman have multiple fight intros! Legendary Chalice now grants Super Arts with a blast of magical energy! Mummies explode in a shower of confetti! Dozens of other dazzling additions and adjustments throughout the game! • Bug fixes and tweaks! • And more! Note: In order to bring you all of these new features and enhancements, we've had to update Cuphead to a newer version of Unity. Accordingly, this new version of Unity doesn't support DX9, so all of the new updates and forthcoming DLC will only work with this new exclusively-DX11 version of Cuphead. If you need to play Cuphead under DX9, we have made a DX9 branch of the game available under the Betas tab in the Properties window. By selecting "legacy- 1.1.5 DX9" version of the game, you will get the exact version of Cuphead that existed right before this new content update went live. Please note that this version will not contain any of the new Free Content Update features, nor will it work with the upcoming DLC.

Hotfix Patch Notes 1.1.5

This patch specifically addresses the following bugs in the Mac version of Cuphead: • Added or fixed controller compatibility with the following gamepads: Steam Controller, Xbox One Controllers connected via Bluetooth, and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. • Please Note: For the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, you will need to enable support in Steam under Settings > Controller. • In addition, avoid syncing the Switch Pro controller if the Steam Controller is enabled at the same time, as this will cause a known conflict. To all those newly discovering the Inkwell Isles on Mac - we hope you're having a wonderful Cuphead experience!

Now, at long last, the day has finally arrived to make good on our promise: Cuphead is available on Mac. What’s more, we’re putting the game on sale through this weekend! To our Mac-inclined friends: your patience and enthusiasm has been much appreciated, and we can’t wait for you to share your own stories of your time exploring the Inkwell Isles. To mark the occasion, we’ve prepared a little short that we’re (appropriately) calling Crisp Apples. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/1gKRzuNcwdI

At the centerpiece of this feast is the premiere of Ms. Chalice, a new playable character with a brand new twist on the classic Cuphead move set. Serving up a free-range, locally sourced, artisanal meal like this one takes some time, so The Delicious Last Course will be in the oven until 2019. https://youtu.be/sBMOXHrXJtI

Hotfix Patch Notes 1.1.4

• Fixed soft lock when the player parries and dies at the same time • Fixed issue where game appears in a tiny resolution • Fixed rare issue where loading screen plays forever • Fixed Cagney Carnation face attack so it consistently has proper anticipation cue timing Additionally, we are now offering a "Legacy" branch of Cuphead under the Betas tab in the properties window. The Legacy branch of Cuphead will be the exact launch build of Cuphead, with no applied patches and no future support. It contains all of the exploits and bugs of the launch version and is available for those who prefer to play that version. WARNING - Switching to the Legacy version of Cuphead may corrupt or erase your present saves. The Legacy version and Current version of Cuphead share the same pool of saves and moving between the two of them has a high probability of corrupting or erasing your present Cuphead saves. StudioMDHR offers no present or future support for the Legacy version of Cuphead. Use it at your own risk.
