Hi all,
We're looking for people to help us test the macOS build of Frozen Synapse 2.
In order to participate all you need to do is opt in to the 'multiplatform_test' branch on Steam.

The game is playable on a late 2015 base model iMac and our minimum supported macOS version is Sierra.

Instructions:

1. Right click on 'Frozen Synapse 2' in your Steam Library and click on 'Properties'
2. Click on 'BETAS' and select 'multiplatform_test' from the dropdown list
3. Click on OK and the game should start downloading. Once it's finished you should be able to play as normal.

Please report bugs and issues you find to jimmeh@mode7games.com

NOTE:
If you've already played a beta version of FS2 on macOS you may see this error when you try to launch it:
We're looking in to how to fix it. Running this command in the terminal may work for you in the meantime
