A new bugfix release is out. This fixes several stability issues on Windows and MacOS:

• Windows: Fix issue with Windows exceptions causing the game to crash, usually in relation to certain antivirus programs like Avast.
• MacOS: Fix sound playback issues for devices with samplerates higher than 44.1kHz
• MacOS: Improve sound playback performance
• MacOS: Fix scaling issues arising from HiDPI displays

libevdev is now shipped for Linux systems that do not provide it out of the box.

Eternia should now run on older Linux distributions.

A number of you have had the game crash on launch as it did not support 7.1 surround sound yet. This has now been patched. It is likely you were using headphones that advertised themselves as having full 7.1 surround support, which should now work properly.

We've gotten several strange crash reports from various users on Windows. Sorry for the inconvenience! It appears that Avast or other antivirus programs are interfering with the startup of the game and cause Windows exceptions to occur, which in turn cause the game to crash. We're currently not sure why this happens or what we can do about it, so as a workaround you'll have to make sure to whitelist Eternia in Avast or other antivirus software. To find out where Eternia's executable is located, simply right-click its entry in steam, select Manage and Show Local Files. Note that this does not occur with Windows' built-in antivirus software.

Hot fix to make the save menu properly reload saves. Sorry for the trouble!

Just a short announcement to let you know the game's now fully available for purchase on Steam! Sorry for the bumpy ride leading up to the release, but I hope you check Eternia out! If you do play it, it would be fantastic if you could write a short review on Steam! Reviews help out a lot, especially for smaller titles like this. Thanks a lot for your patience and continuous support from me and the rest of the Kandria and Eternia team, and we hope you enjoy a relaxing experience with Eternia!
