• Update 4.36.328 - Universal Binaries for Mac OS (with M1 Support) - 4 October 2022

  I updated the Steam binary to better support Mac OS on M1 CPU. It's possible that the update inside Steam doesn't properly work, especially on Windows. Please uninstall the game first, then reboot and then reinstall if you are having problems. In some cases, also delete the "jre" directory inside the game's folder inside Steam before reinstalling it if the problem persists. Keep the other folders. Sorry for the inconvenience.
