Poker Night Update!

The updated version of Poker Night at the Inventory has finally been made available to all customers, be it Telltale customers or Steam customers.

Telltale customers: Get the update from your Games Page.
(Note: If you downloaded the game from Telltale this past weekend, you probably already have the update.)

Steam customers: just restart Steam, and the update should start downloading.


What's new in the update?

Poker Night update, changes list:

Poker & Gameplay Fixes

* At the end of a hand, winners of the main pot and any side pots all announced individually. (Previously, only the winner of the biggest pot was announced.)

* Each round, the minimum raise starts at the big blind until someone raises, after which the minimum raise is the amount of that last raise.

* In heads up (one on one) play, the dealer is now the small blind and first to act pre-flop.

* If a someone folds and is part of a side pot, and after the fold only one person remains in the sidepot, the sidepot gets cleared and paid out to that one remaining person.

* The tutorial now automatically comes up once, the first time the game is played. It is still also available on-demand from the Poker Help screen.

* Players who have a straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush or straight will now get the appropriate hand achievement even if everyone else folds to them in that hand.

* Fixed issue causing character tells to almost never play.

* Fixed issue causing only one of the player's hole cards to display when skipping dialog.

* Improved readability/consistency on the unlockable Strong Bad card deck.

* Max properly leaves the table after his "I'll be in the bar" bust out line.

----

Compatibility Fixes

* Anti-aliasing quality control added to Graphics Settings screen.

* Improved compatibility with Shader Model 2.0 graphics cards.

* Fixed cases of invisible and garbled text on the title screen and settings screen on some systems.

* Some lower end video cards which formerly just drew a black screen should now display the game.

----

Content

* Two new poker tables available on the Unlocks screen: “Poker Night,” and “Inventory Security”

Thanks and enjoy!

It's on sale just 2 weeks after launch? I didn't expect my purchase to lose value so quickly...

Its for the new steam contest where you do a bunch of stuff on different games to try and win stuff, all games in the contest are on sale.

What loss of value? It's worth as much as you pay for it and as much entertainment as you get out of it. It's not like you can resell it to someone else on a practical level.

So were the tables an apology, or a hint for DLC?

[Ishtarru]

So, how do I get this update? Do I have to uninstall & reinstall, & if so, will I lose any of my current game data? I'd hate to have to start over from scratch (again).

Depends. Steam should update on its own.
Telltale just instal it again and the rest should happen on its own.

Are the new tables already unlocked or do you need to unlock them?

No, but I'd still recommend backing up your save just in case the game glitches and erases your data as it's happened to me twice now >_>

Specifically, you need to win the Heavy's Iron Curtain.

But it's not just a contest, it's also a way to win TF2 hats! Granted, you need at least 5 objectives for the first one, 15 for the second, and EVERY objective (24) for the third... and you have two days to finish each set of 4 objectives.

Granted, I think there'll be at least one easy one each day, such as "Make an avatar." or "Join the Official Portal 2 Steam Group" or "own Alien Swarm" stuff like that.

Awesome, thanks Telltale!

[ThatoneJeff]

I love Telltale.

I downloaded and the intro plays fine but when the actual game starts it crashes and the game shuts off and comes up with an error message. At least some of my problems are fixed, but I want to be able to play it...

Exactly the same happened to me D8

"An apology?" No. But the team is of the mind that patches are always better/more worthwhile when they have a piece of content and not just a bunch of fixes.

They're pre-unlocked. It was too screwey to try and sneak them into the unlocks system.

[SunnyGuy]

They are? I only have the regular one =/

Oh well, I'll try deleting the save file, I already lost all my data twice anyways and it's not like I had unlocked anything else since then >__>

[RamenJunkie]

I just wanted to mention that I can't seem to run Poker Night anymore on my Netbook and I could before the update. Running it windowed on an HP Mini311 with 3 GB of RAM. Nvidia Ion Graphics chip.

Things went fine previously though I seem to just get a black screen now after the Telltale logo screen.

[SunnyGuy]

Oh they're at the bottom, that'd explain it >.>

Yeah, same here. This needs to be fixed. I am dissappoint.
