Unity 5 version exits beta, available to all

Rejoice! Our extreme makeover edition full game engine update — from Unity v4.6 to v5.2 — is finally complete and available as a free update for all players.

Please note that the Mac OSX version will arrive tomorrow, and the Linux version will follow later this week or early next week.

This extensive (and huge) update includes the first three episodes of Dreamfall Chapters. The fourth episode — Book Four: Revelations — will be available as a free update as soon as it's released.

Major changes in version 3.2.9 include:

• Engine upgrade to Unity 5.2. This upgrade should improve performance and stability for most users
• Windows 64-bit version. Players with 64-bit OS and more than 3GB of RAM will experience fewer crashes and better performance. We strongly encourage Windows 32-bit users to upgrade to a 64-bit OS
• New notification system for important choices and consequences
• Numerous bug fixes and game tweaks, based on player feedback
• Enlighten support. This affects the lights and shadows in all scenes, along with material and shader fixes
• In-game bug report tool. Note that this tool may be removed in future versions of the game

Please let us know if you experience any problems with the new game engine. We expect to bring out a patch later this week or early next week.

Thanks again to all of our dedicated beta testers who helped us track down bugs and test numerous versions of the beta over the past two weeks. We owe you all a warm hug and a cold beer!
