Best version

The version on Steam is the 'best' version. It includes achievements, cloud saving and additional updates which allow for running a game in window mode and custom resolutions. Developer is also planning on updating this version of the game further.[1]

Game data

Template:Game Location Table

This game follows the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.

Save game cloud syncing

Video settings

Custom Resolution

Postal runs natively in 640x480 resolution and there is no option in a menu to change resolution. However, it's possible to enable upscaling in the Steam version[2] to any resolution desired. Unfortunately, game only allows for 4:3 resolutions and it's going to use letterbox for widescreen resolutions. Developer is planning on making a patch to allow playing in widescreen resolutions.

Instructions

Windowed

It's possible to run either Mac or Linux versions of the game in Window mode. Also Steam version allows to run a game in Window Mode. To run it in Window mode, either press ALT+ENTER or add --windowed to launch parameters.[3]
