Patch 1.3 (22 August 2012)

New Features
Gnaw's highly adaptable physiology allows him to thrive in almost any athmosphere. Gnaw was trained by a band of Amphibian cosmic bikerpirates, that rent him to any war general that is desperate enough to set loose the rabid, chitinous menace upon the battlefield.
 * New Playable Character: Gnaw.

Abilities: Acid spit - Spit out a sticky spray of acid goo that damages enemies over time. Grow Weedlings - Bite enemies to gather growth parts, then use those to grow a weedling. Bite - Gnaw bites his enemies with his filthy maw, dealing damage over time. Jump - Skroggles have a strong single jump.


 * Added several songs to the downloadable Soundtrack (DLC). New tracks include Character Themes and Killing Spree theme for all characters, including Gnaw.

General fixes: major fixes

 * Fixed a crash in character select with a specific control scheme configuration.


 * Added beta DirectX support, which should fix issues for some people who could not start the game at all, or only on Low despite having a new videocard. Known issues with DirectX: no full-screen, no VSync, controls configuration menu shows overlapping buttons (click above to select them), water too blurry.


 * A number of cheaters have been banned. Cheaters can now only play against each other in their own private matchmaking.
