Another Star on Steam has been updated to version 3B, which contains some minor bug fixes and finally fixes support for the recent OS X El Capitan update. Please report any problems that you are having with the new version, so that they can be fixes as soon as possible. You can return to version 3A by selecting it from the "betas" tab after right clicking on the game in your Steam library. Here is the change list:

ADDITIONS

• Added a last-resort legacy mode for very old OpenGL 2.x systems that can be enabled using the command line arguments "-l" or "legacy". Will create lots of visual artifacts and messes up the non-square aspect ratio of the game, but should at least allow the game to run on really old laptops and such.

FIXES

• Sounds effects are not automatically re-enabled on startup if they were disabled in the user's settings, or using command line arguments.
• Made minor tweaks to OpenGL extension functions to allow startup using OpenGL 2.x drivers that have certain OpenGL 3 capabilities but don't consider them to be extensions for whatever reason.
• Fixed a bug introduced in Version 3A that prevented the game from ignoring repeated keyboard input from holding down a key.
• Fixed a number of issues that were preventing the OS X version from booting in El Capitan.
• The progress meter should now correctly reset when erasing a save and starting a new game in that slot.
• More typo corrections.

Another Star on Steam has been updated to version 3A, containing a number of bug fixes. Furthermore, the Linux version should no longer require an installation of Mono. Please report any problems you are having with the new version, so that they can be fixed as soon as possible. Here is the change log:

ADDITIONS

CHANGES

FIXES

• Attempting to open the menu and move on the same frame no longer confuses the engine to allow the player to skip/ignore warping and scripting tiles.
• Fixed an issue with the achievements "Pupil" and "Apprentice" not firing correctly. These two achievements will be awarded upon loading a save if the game detects they have been earned but not yet unlocked.
• The "Excavator" achievement should now fire more consistently.
