A couple of helpful players brought to our attention that on some devices running macOS Tahoe (26.1 or 26.2), the game was launching in borderless mode, which prevented it from gaining focus. This issue has now been addressed, and the game should work correctly on macOS Tahoe.
There’s another fix related to this button. A kind player let us know that pressing “Play the Next Episode” would incorrectly open the Epilogues DLC Steam page in the browser (if you didn’t own it). This wasn’t a pushy attempt to promote the DLC. It was simply a mistake, and it’s now been fixed.
A few kind players brought to our attention that, in some cases, pressing the "Play Next Episode" button after finishing an episode was launching the Epilogues selection screen instead of proceeding to the next episode. We’ve just released a patch to address this issue.
A kind player let us know that the two new achievements added for the DLCs were not triggering correctly. This issue has now been fixed, but a replay may be required for them to unlock.
