This patch is the current one on the base game.

Hello there,

We just updated it with the hotfix that will arrive before Christmas. Feel free to give it a try, especially for all the M1 players ^-^

If you use this preview, please remember to clearly mark this in the title if you file a bug report.

I cannot play this version (update preview, steam) on M1 Pro (8-Core GPU). After the intro sequence it stays in a pink screen (without and with Rosetta).

I tried it with one 4k screen, two 4k screens and the build-in MacBook-Screen. Same result.

Yeah, kind weird that there was a patch today. Version is now 1.0.20.3626 which is a minor build number increase to the previous.

Hi, pink screen issue is gone! I still noticed two issues though:

- background of the menu screen is grey

- a pretty distracting flickering whenever I enable the diplomacy tab: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bg5t1ckgyla5zto/Bildschirmaufnahme%202022-12-19%20um%2019.15.06.mov?dl=0

Playing on a 14-inch M1 Pro. 

I'm having flickering effects on the borders when they're close to the bottom of the screen: watch here
