[h3]Experimental Apple Silicon support[/h3]

Just a short reminder for players with Apple Silicon Macs, we have an experimental native version available for you that should improve performance and multiplayer stability.

If you have given it a try it'd be great if you could leave some quick feedback whether this version is working well for you or not :)

To switch to the Apple Silicon version, right-click on Parkitect in your Steam library and then select Properties -> Betas -> select "apple_silicon" from the Beta Participation dropdown.

[h3]Experimental Apple Silicon support[/h3]

We have an experimental native version available for Mac users with an Apple Silicon device (M1, M2, M3 CPU).
In our tests we're seeing a roughly ~20% performance increase over the non-native version.
We have given it a fair bit of testing and it seems to be running fine, but if you give it a try and notice anything not working as it should with this version please let us know.
We're especially unsure about how stable the cross-platform multiplayer is - it seems to be fine, and there's even a chance that it's working better than the non-native version, but since it depends a lot on what you build in your park we'd be very happy about any feedback on how well this is working for you, both positive and negative :)

To switch to this test version, right-click on Parkitect in your Steam library and then select Properties -> Betas -> select "apple_silicon" from the Beta Participation dropdown.
