- Patch notes, September 25, 2020 - 26 September 2020
Added a Brazilian Portuguese translation courtesy of Ray Batista Fixed a bug in which the player could get stuck in a dialog box when collecting a powerup on the same frame that they died
- Patch notes, May 5, 2020 - 6 May 2020
Fixed a Randomized Game bug where items in the Subterranean Waterways could be scheduled before getting the items needed to access most of that area. Fixed a bug where local gem counts and gem indicators on the map would be incorrect when loading saved games made before last Friday's update to add the Randomized Game mode.
- Patch notes, May 3, 2020 - 4 May 2020
Added error checking on local file writes. Should address crashing when local files are being accessed by external cloud syncing applications. May introduce new issues in which the game doesn't actually save when it's supposed to. Display localized region names in the debug critical path menu and on the pause menu. Fixed a bug in which the underworld could be reached without the climbing gloves in randomized games. Fixed a bug in which the Arcadian in the sky pillars could give items indefinitely in randomized games.
- Super Randomize the Game - 1 May 2020
Hi y'all! I've just updated Super Win the Game to add an all-new Randomized Game mode! In this mode, items will appear in different locations, and you'll have to rely on your knowledge of the environment to find them all and win the game! More details are available here: https://piratehearts.com/blog/2020/05/super-randomize-the-game/ Have fun! https://i.imgur.com/ukMM6lG.png

- Patch notes, January 24, 2018 - 25 January 2018
Hi all, I've just published a change to remove the saved game thumbnail from the title screen. This should hopefully be the last word in the neverending saga of Windows-specific crashes that have been popping up sporadically since launch. It was clear looking at crash dumps that this crash was related to the thumbnail, and because the most recent update (which made a number of peripheral changes) didn't fix it, it can only be because locking and sampling a render target texture as it's been implemented here simply isn't allowed on some GPUs. As such, removing the feature altogether feels like the best option. (This also restores parity across all versions of the game, as the thumbnail had previously been removed from other versions for various reasons.)

- Patch notes, December 28, 2017 - 29 December 2017
Hi all, I've just published a small Windows-only change that may address the crash some players experience when moving between rooms. It also may do nothing at all — this crash does not occur on any of my test machines, and generally speaking, bugs that can't be reproduced locally can't be fixed. This update is therefore informed solely by the contents of minidump files available to me, but the reliability of those is still uncertain.

Hi all! Super Win the Game is now playable in French, thanks to a fan translation from David Didier Massé.

(I will also continue to support the legacy path and provide clearer instructions in-game for anyone else who's interested in doing their own fan translation and having it added to the build.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To use, copy these text files to your Localization folder.
