Patch Notes for v1.26023

Hey, we've deployed a patch that may improve performance for some players experiencing intermittent stuttering during gameplay, by temporarily disabling passive online features.

Note: If you've been using Steam in Offline Mode as a work-around for any issues, you should no longer have to for now.

We will be monitoring feedback to see if this alleviates the problem while continuing to investigate a longer-term solution.

2. Select Properties -> Set Launch Options...
   
3. Type /OnlyFancyText=true or another command line

Patch Notes for v1.42591

This patch improves the Simplified Chinese text translation added in a December 2016 update, and fixes compatibility with the latest DualShock 4 gamepad.

• The DualShock 4 V2 controller should now be correctly detected by the game.*
  
• Various text fixes in Simplified Chinese.

Simplified Chinese is selectable in-game in Settings > Languages, along with a variety of other options. Thank you for playing Transistor!

* Note: If you're using a DualShock 4 V2 controller and experience an issue where the audio is silent when you start the game, you may work around this by:

1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the controller
   
2. Backing out to Windows, changing your audio output to your desired speakers using Windows Audio Mixer, then re-launching the game
