[h3]Hello mercenaries,[/h3]

The Open Beta branch dedicated to Mac is now open! We appreciate your patience and understanding as we've worked to make this happen. By joining this Beta you will be on the latest patch available and be able to crossplay with all of your friends on the latest branch.

Here's everything you need to know:

[h2]What's Included in the Mac Open Beta?[/h2]

The Mac Open Beta is updated to the latest patch but due to the difference in OS, it might have new bugs or some instabilities. This is only a beta and we aim to improve it with your helps. A lot still needs to be improved.



[h2]How to Join the Open Beta:[/h2]

To access the Mac Open Beta branch, simply follow these steps:

- Right-click on Gloomhaven in your Steam Library.
- Select "Properties."
- Navigate to the "BETAS" tab.
- Choose "mac_open_beta" from the drop-down list.

We invite you to create a backup save, as this version is still pretty early and rough.
You can find your save here for Windows:

C:\Users\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven

And here for Mac:

/Library/Application Support/FlamingFowlStudios/Gloomhaven
Or -depending on the version you have-
/user/Library/Application Support/unity.FlamingFowlStudios.Gloomhaven/GloomSaves/Campaign

Note that your save from the main build or V28009 should be fully compatible.



[h2]Why an Open Beta?[/h2]
We aim to minimize waiting times and demonstrate that we've learned from our previous experiences. The Open Beta provides Mac users with early access to Gloomhaven. Please note that this branch is still a work in progress (WIP).



[h2]Looking for a Stable Build?[/h2]
If you'd like a more stable version while waiting for the Open Beta to reach full stability, you can always switch to the v.28009 build, which is available on Steam.

Your feedback during this Open Beta will be invaluable in helping us refine the game further. We encourage you to share your thoughts and report any issues you encounter here on Discord: discord.gg/gloomhaven!

Hello all,

[h3]USEFUL INFORMATION[/h3]

• Some of your issues may be coming from mods not being updated for the newest version. Launching the game without mods might fix some of theses issues.
  
  
• For anyone having trouble playing on the last updates or wanting to return to the latest pre-Saber version e.g. the same version as the latest Mac release, it is available on Steam, and here is how to opt in:
  
  - To opt into the last pre-update version, v.28009, right-click on the game in Steam -> Properties -> BETAS and select the "v.28009" from the drop-down list.
  
  - Important information: switching to the open beta or this v.28009 version might corrupt the save files if you have launched the newer version before doing it.
  
  You simply have to do a backup of the initial save file to protect your save - Save files are located in C:\Users\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven
  
  If you are moving from the regular version of the game to Open Beta, simply create a copy of your GloomSaves folder and rename it to GloomSavesV28009.
  Individual saves can also be copied between the Guildmaster folders if you prefer.
  

[h3]Hello mercenaries,[/h3]

We have an important update for all the Mac users out there: the launch of an Open Beta branch dedicated to Mac players, which should open in about 2 weeks. We will of course keep you informed as soon as the exact date is determined.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we've worked to make this happen.

Here's everything you need to know:




[h2]What's included in the Mac Open Beta?[/h2]

In this initial phase, the Mac Open Beta branch will enable crossplay with other Steam users only.
You'll be joining players on Steam who are on the latest version of the update.
This means you'll have access to all the content and improvements introduced in the latest main update, along with the four subsequent hotfixes.

For PC players that want to be able to cross-play with Mac on the latest updated version, you will also need to opt in to this Mac Open Beta branch.




[h2]Why an Open Beta?[/h2]

We aim to minimize further waiting times for Mac players and we care to show you that we have heard you and learned from our previous experiences.
Please note that this branch is still a work in progress and will, consequently, need a good amount of bug fixing and polishing.

Your feedback during this Open Beta will be invaluable in helping us refine the game further.
We encourage you to share your thoughts on the dedicated Discord channel and report any issues you encounter when the Beta goes live.
