A new MacOS Beta build of The Bard's Tale Trilogy is now available which resolves graphical errors that can appear while playing on an M1 or newer processor. To access this Beta branch, right-click The Bards Tale Trilogy in your Steam Library > Properties > Betas > (within that Betas selection screen in the upper-right corner, click the drop-down box and select the Beta-Beta option). Click the X to close that box out, and then you should see that to the right of the game name in the library list it will now have a [beta] tag. Mac users, please report back in this thread to let us know if you continue to see any graphical errors in this version of the game.
