Mac Players, Check the BETA branch! — Wandersong News

Hello Mac users!

As you may know, since launch we've been struggling some rendering/shader issues on Mac (making the bard turn black on some screens). These stem from engine issues in Game Maker Studio 2, and we've been working with Yoyogames since before our release to get a perfectly stable version out to players.

We got an update from Yoyogames recently saying that they had a new engine version that corrected our issues. We ran a new build off of it, and found that those issues were fixed, but in their place were new, worse issues that made the game virtually unplayable for us. :(

But we've been assured that the new version works flawlessly for them, so it's possible that we're experiencing a rare issue that won't hold for most users. It's hard for us to know, and that's why we've decided to put the build on Steam and open it to everyone to test!

To access it, right click the game in your library, go to PROPERTIES, then the BETAS tab, then select "beta" from the dropdown menu. Even if the game worked for you before, we'd appreciate it if you tested this. Let us know whether or not the beta build works for you! This will help us figure out our next steps to get a perfectly working build out to every Mac user.

Thanks! <3

(PS: Voting is still open for the IGF audience award! We'd love to get your support!)
