Ya I had that same issue. I couldn’t close the game without turning it off completely. It messed with my computer so bad.

Hi - the minimum requirements for the Beta are an M2 chip - I know they are planning some further optimisation ahead of Early Access

Anything special you did for it to work

Can we give our key to a friend or can it be reissued?
you can gift a beta key that hasn't been activated.
once activated they can no longer be used again/reassigned.

I’m having the same issues of excessive lag/needing to do a forced shutdown to escape, but I am also using a 9+ year old MacBook Air with an M1 chip so I guess that’s to be expected 🥲
it took 70mins of playtime on steam to get through character creation and the intro movie + the first brief dialogue w. pebble 💀
that’s on me for not reading the minimum requirements for beta ig, I backed the kickstarter intending to play on switch so I didn’t think to check my computer parts rip :’)

Same - my M1 iMac meets the minimum requirements listed on Steam, but those really need to be revised because it is unplayable.

Just wanted to chime in that the game works as smoothly as expected on my macbook pro intel i9
