Stay strange, stay loud! - The Hyperstrange Team

Come sit on Santa’s lap. Feel that? Yeah.

That’s your framerate going up.

We said we will wrap up the optimization plan and drop the second performance patch in December. 

And guess what? It’s December, baby!

Massive thanks to all of you guys for your engagement, patience, and for pointing out every little thing that felt off. You’re irreplaceable. Seriously <3.

Things should run smoother pretty much everywhere now, but you’ll especially feel the difference on Map 3, which got the most work-smooth-or-die love this time around.

➡ Check out a small FPS comparison!

And if your trusty rig is closer to the minimum specs: no worries. We didn’t forget about you dude. Besides optimization, we also fixed a bunch of bugs you reported along the way. Full patch notes are right below:

General:

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to access the Credits menu using a controller.

• Fixed weird interactions when remapping weapon wheel keybindings

• Fixed multiple visual issues related to textures and LODs.

• Fixes to different glass elements in base game

• Fixed issue where saving at a checkpoint would freeze the game for a few seconds

These Sunny Daze:

• Fixed missing “POSTAL: Brain Damaged” text in the Credits section when using Brazilian Portuguese.

• Fixed a soft-lock caused by opening the Weapon Wheel and Pause Menu at the same time.

• Fixed an issue where some enemy melee attacks could deal damage through Nyanbrella’s shield.

• Fixed multiple map gaps and tight spaces where the player could get permanently stuck.

• Fixes to UrAnusium Syringe zoom

• Optimized the way enemies on the levels are spawned

• Improvements of culling range

• Introduced static batching

• Fixed Xwitch Thot melee attack going through block

• Fix to possibly getting stuck at the start of DLC Boss Fight

Erection Day:

• Fixed multiple LOD issues affecting background assets, especially around the C.A.T.E. base.

• Fixed an issue where some enemies would fail to spawn in certain areas.

• Fixed an issue where the UrAnusium Syringe poster could sometimes not be picked up.

• Improvements to lighting and mesh optimization

Thanks for sticking with us and enjoy the extra frames!

Spend them wisely!

New things, better things, and bunch of fixed things.

It may have seemed quiet, but behind the scenes we’ve been neck-deep in These Sunny Daze DLC's guts, tracing bottlenecks, unclogging blockages and putting together a plan to get things flowing right.

This update brings only the small, first wave of improvements

- a starter patch that kicks off a two-part plan to boost performance.

The next one is already in the works. And while we were down there, we just couldn’t resist sneaking in some new stuff too.

So what's new?

• New tropical arena map available in Survival Mode (for P:TSD owners only)

• Brand-new alt-fire for UrAnisum Syringe (let’s just say it’s not exactly subtle)

• The sewers in Erection Day have been rebuilt and improved, based on a blueprint straight from your feedback. New routes, same stench. Go see how it flows now!

And speaking of the flow...

This update is the first, smaller part of a two-stage process of improving P:TSD’s performance.

It’s taking time, we know, but we didn’t want to just slap duct tape on the surface. We chose to dig deeper, hunt down the actual causes and fix things at its source.

Some areas are already running a lot smoother, so instead of making you wait for the whole thing,

we’re dropping a small batch of fixes today.

We know this isn’t the whole deal. Right now we’re going after the rougher spots and making sure things run better on lower-end rigs too.

You can expect the second patch to drop before the end of December!

Here's the changes in motion:

Here’s a look at today's key changes:

These Sunny Daze Content Update:

• New Survival Mode map (DLC owners only)

• Changes to Sniper Rifle -  Alt-fire fires mini-nukes

• Overhaul of the Erection Day in Sewers

• Moto Mama now speaks - she’s got her own voice lines!

Brain Damaged fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the "B**ch Lore" achievement could be unlocked despite not owning These Sunny Daze

• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to select levels in Survival Mode with a controller

• Fixed some cases in which certain enemies would not be affected by fire and confusion piss

• Fixed an issue where Big Bad Rona's eyes were not damaged by the BFG's lightning

• STEAM ONLY: Fixed an issue where the "Play Mods" option in the Mods menu would not function correctly

These Sunny Daze fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the 'PTSD' achievement would not unlock if cutscenes were disabled in the settings

• Adjusted the collider of the Bubblegun's alternate projectile to more closely match its visuals

• Fixed an issue where not all new enemies would use navmesh links

• Fixed an issue where using the Sticky Hand on anal plugs would play the sound effect twice

• Picking up a sausage from Wiener Grinder now makes the proper food eating sound

Changes in Ship Happens level:

• Fixed an issue where on Steam Deck, ice would not be displayed properly in the cold storage room

Changes in Erection Day level:

• Fixed an issue where some cars lacked collision

• Fixed an issue that caused CATE Agents to occasionally float in the air

• Fixed an issue where the altar at the top of the stairs floated in the air

• The crowd in the starting area now has audio

• Minor adjustments to the lighting in the Whitest House

Also there’s two new game localizations - Hungarian and Brazilian Portuguese!

We know it’s not everything yet - but we’re still grinding to make everything run smoother and nastier. Let us know if the ride’s less bumpy and the new content hits the right spots. The second update's already on the way, and we’ll drop it as soon as it’s cooked!

Due to a recently disclosed security vulnerability found in some Unity-built games, we wanted to let you know that we’ve already taken care of it on our side.

There’s no indication that the issue was ever exploited or that anyone was affected, but fixes have already been released - and we applied them right away to ensure that POSTAL: Brain Damaged are now fully patched and secure.

You don’t need to do anything on your side - just keep your game updated as usual. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and follow the latest security recommendations to keep everything running safe and sound.

Stay safe! Hyperstrange out.

Lock, load, and let the gibs fly! 🚀

The second coming of the boomer shooter fest just slammed a fresh mag and went full-auto - and the carnage is already spreading across Steam!

From September 23–27, Boomstock 2025 delivers:

• a blood-soaked showcase full of new reveals, demos, and trailers,

• in-game events, giveaways, and more pixelated chaos than your hard drive can handle.

And we’re right there in the crossfire:

• INCISION - just launched in full 1.0 gory glory!

• Supplice - brand new demo, same old-school brutal attitude!

• POSTAL: Brain Damaged - new DLC out, guns still hot!

Jump into the mayhem here: Boomstock 2025 on Steam Watch the showcase:

And let’s paint the Steam red!

Bugs screamed. Code cried. The patch didn’t care. Everything acting up got dragged out back and “retired” permanently. We nuked the nastiest bugs, smacked the keybinds until they learned some manners, and even the elevators got taught a lesson. Here’s what we hammered into shape this time:

• Fixed custom keybinds not saving properly. There’s one final reset with this patch, but once you set them again, they’ll stick for good.

• Cleaned up tons of small map issues, including clipping, textures, and other minor cases.

• Achievements that were unlocking incorrectly should now work as intended.

• Falling into the kill plane will no longer respawn you at the wrong location.

• Fixed a bug where Balloonmen could spontaneously explode a few seconds after loading a save.

• The fuse box on the first DLC level should now work properly for everyone.

• We’ve adjusted saving on the first level: you can still save before or after the elevator ride, but not while it’s moving - turns out the elevator refuses to cooperate mid-journey.

Stay cool, sip your drinks, enjoy the last days of summer… 'cause October’s forecast has Hurricane Dude on the radar, bringing a rain of update heavy enough to drown the maps like a clogged motel bathroom.

Hey dudes!

You yelled, we listened - the new update cranks up the weapons, not just tweaking the numbers but also their special features!

This is just the first round of tweaks, so jump in, see how the guns feel now, and tell us what you think in this thread. We’ll keep tuning them until they hit just right!

The sun is blazing, the cocktails are fruity, and the Dude is still pissed.

Two days into The Daze and you've already given us a truckload of feedback. We’ve seen the positive stuff​, it fuels us to dream up even nastier dudemares for you​ in the future. 

And we’ve seen the critical stuff​, ​it helps us clear the summer-autumn fog and make the game sharper, meaner, and more fun. 

Balance? First dedicated patch is coming soon. 

Bugs? Eliminated mercilessly, as they crawl out. 

Content? Horde Mode ​arenas and more goodies are already lined up.

For now, here’s today’s hotfix:

• Fixed an issue where some players with old saves couldn’t access the purchased DLC.

• UI now correctly shows how much you’ve peed in the tanks in front of the hotel to open the door.

• Fixed the water/sand area at the end of the ship so enemies behave there as they should.

• Fixed visual issues with piss tanks in one of the ship sections.

• Fixed enemy aggro triggers that were firing incorrectly.

• Fixed a softlock with the storage doors on the cruise ship.

• Fixed a potential softlock during the fight with dogs on the beach.

• Fixed collision issues on the pier at the beach.

• Fixed a crash caused by the Balloon Guys falling under the map (this should prevents the crash on Map 3). 

• Fixed DLC achievements not unlocking properly if you own the DLC / due to weird edge cases.

• Fixed players sometimes being unable to get the key on the rollercoaster.

• Added extra VFX when hitting something with the sniper rifle.

• Improved lighting on the second Horde Mode level.

• Small fix for intro video

We’re steadily grinding through all your reports - more fixes and improvements are already in the works, and we’ll roll them out as soon as they’re ready!

TL;DR: Just Watch The Trailer

You tried to chill. You really did.

But the world keeps begging for another POSTAL crusade.

So here it is.

Just remember who started it this time!

Buckle up for this sun-baked ride including:

• A whole new chapter with a story ready to catch you off-guard (literally)

• Five holiday-ruining weapons, each one crazier and deadlier than the last

• The sweaty Sticky Hand - weird, gross, and surprisingly useful

• Fresh enemies itching to get sandblasted

• Familiar faces back for one more wild ride under the scorching sun

HIT THE BEACH AND BRING THE HEAT:

POSTAL: These Sunny Daze DLC is coming for your sanity - and it’s launching September 9th to leave you with serious P:TSD

POSTAL: These Sunny Daze is here with tropical serotonin collapse and juicy carnage!

New DLC for POSTAL: Brain Damaged is coming very soon! Get your sunscreen ready for POSTAL: These Sunny Daze!

Just when you thought he’d finally caught a break, the POSTAL Dude gets yanked out of vacation mode by a full-blown nationwide ginger purge. The new President is an old-news, flag-humping lunatic, redheads are officially public enemy number one, and a tech-nerd Vice President just ran off with the Dude’s personal arsenal.

With a fruity cocktail still in hand and nothing but rage in his heart, the Dude must now punch, piss, and blast his way through a sunbaked swarm of brainwashed fanatics under the heat of a regular manhunt to get his guns back. He’s been stripped of his beloved boomsticks, sure - but don’t worry. The POSTAL Dude’s never unarmed. Just more improvisational. And this time he’s motivated as ever.

Don't Fight It, You Know You Want To Wishlist!
