====================


Patch 1.4 and Scars of Freedom are now both available, but work at CreativeForge Games hardly stops. Hard West is getting a tiny, little update today. It contains a couple of fixes both for the main game and the DLC.

Version 1.4.1 fixes:
- Achievements from the Scars of Freedom DLC should now unlock correctly on Steam.
- Enemies will now use abilities even more frequently while “Enemy Abilities” are enabled.
- Fixed a misleading caption in the Options screen (regarding Worldmap decor).

====================

We come forth with another small update for Hard West, aiming mostly to address some issues with the DLC and recent base-game features.

Version 1.4.2 fixes:

- In Scars of Freedom, you should no longer be unable to buy a body part during the first part of the world map due to running out of Ether.
- The game should no longer lock up on the title screen, when trying to load last checkpoint, when last checkpoint is from the DLC, and the DLC had already been uninstalled.
- Fixed a minor graphical glitch on the last mission of the DLC.
- The “Squishy Posse” gameplay mod should now be correctly disabled when Combat Injuries are disabled.


Version 1.4.2. balance changes:
