Latest news regarding the Stranger's Wrath patch:
JAW have been giving some Steam forum posters the update early; as a result of a minor issue cropping they've delayed the patch from going live (read the quote below for details):

6 people from this forum [NOTE: that's the Steam Forums] have had the update directly from us.
Only 1 was disappointed, and that's because his graphics card is below the minimum spec allowed.
I'll let those who have received the update tell you what they think.
We have asked Valve however to hold off making it live, whilst we fix something that people WILL ask about...
Because the game is running so much faster now, the controls appear to "stick" and you have to get Stranger to "jump" to unstick them.
This is because the original games control input system was designed for a game running at 30fps, NOT 180fps like some have had today, as a result input gets muddled.
You can quick fix it by re-enabling the new "vsync" option in the Launcher, however as our tech director is off to Mexico on Monday for 2 weeks, I wanted to get this in there and done PRIOR to his last day of work tomorrow.
Something else we've done that we kept quiet was to enable support for PROPER 5.1 and 7.1 audio systems, this was tested by 2 on the forums, and both have confirmed it working.
So the plan is to fix up the control "glitch" in the next hour, then get an updated exe off to the guys who spotted this issue, ALL being well, the update *WILL* be released tomorrow morning.
Thanks for your patience guys
Cheers
Stewart
