I am pleased to announce the initial Mac Beta demo release of Penumbra: Overture Episode 1.
Changes in 1.0.679
- Flashlight now works correctly.
- Game no longer locks up when streamed sounds start
- Added overrides for Fragment and Vertex profiles (More detail in the readme installed with the game)
- Added extra debugging to log what CG profiles are being used.
- While in windowed mode and in the menu the "mouse" is now unlocked. (Turning of full screen mode can be done by editing the settings.cfg located in ~/Library/Preferences/Frictional Games/Penumbra Overture/Episode 1)
- Upgraded to the Cg 1.5.0019 which hopefully will fix other graphics issues
The demo is build as a universal binary so it will work on Power PC and Intel Mac systems. You must have either an ATI or an Nvidia graphics card.
Currently the Mac demo is
ONLY being released via Bit torrent. If you wish to help in distributing, just keep seeding it when you have finished downloading it. Once I get feedback and fix any new found bugs from this beta we will release the final demo and push it out to mirrors. Please
DO NOT mirror this demo at this time.
Report any issues to this forum thread as I will be checking this thread regularly for feedback.
