Currently live on the beta branch is an update that will help synchronise the different engine versions that are being used for different operating systems. This is an update primarily affecting WINDOWS USERS (as Mac/Linux users were already on this engine version). Ideally there should be very few visible changes, only some tiny bugfixes and an added word in one dialog line that was missing by accident. If you are a Windows user and have a bit of free time, we would like to invite you to switch over to the new engine testing branch, play a bit, and ensure that nothing weird happens (I've tested it myself but more eyes are better!) You can access the beta by right-clicking on the game in tyour library and selecting Properties, then Betas, then select the relevant one from the dropdown (renpy 6.99.12.2 - Testing engine upgrade June 2025) Official changelog:

• Engine update. This should increase compatiblity with newer machines; it may reduce compatibility with older machines, but machines it breaks are probably also too old to run Steam.,
• Minor save screen UI improvement.,
• Fixed a crash in the crash handler in some circumstances.,
• Fixed a crash saving game logs if you have non-ASCII characters in the path to the save directory on Windows.,
• Angle (alternate 3D acceleration) renderer selectable on Win32.,
• "who might had sympathy""who might have had sympathy" fixed.
