The Sorting Bureau patch notes & updates

Hey everyone! We're still here, still working on the game, still fixing what you tell us to fix. Reviews, complaints, all of it. This update came out of that. Added - Right click adds an item to your handful now, and there's a toggle for it in the controls.

Orders used to arrive with a good part of the work already done. This one is about fixing that, plus two other things that decide what lands on your desk. What changed - An order doesn't show up half sorted anymore.

Sorry about the controls in 1.0.4. We changed the way things stick together, and building piles got harder instead of easier. Most of that is rolled back now, and the parts people disagree about have moved into the settings, so you can set them the way your hands like.

Added - A Recommended settings button in the graphics tab. It matches vertical sync to your monitor and clears the manual frame cap. Fixed - Piles formed when you didn't ask for them.

Added - An FPS Limit in the graphics settings. Unlimited, 30, 60 or 120. A player wrote that their laptop was overheating and there was nothing in the game to turn the load down, so now there is. Picking a limit switches vertical sync off, the two don't work together.

Fixed - Throwing things went stiff in the last patch. Items barely moved and landed short of where you threw them. That's back to how it was, sorry, that one was on us. - The game ignored your system language and always started in English.

Added - A setting to stop things from sticking together into a handful. If you'd rather carry them one at a time, it's in Settings under General. It's on by default, so nothing changes unless you turn it off. Fixed - Ultrawide screens (21:9 and wider) cut off the interface.
