Another Star on Steam has been updated to version 3B, which contains some minor bug fixes and finally fixes support for the recent OS X El Capitan update. Please report any problems that you are having with the new version, so that they can be fixes as soon as possible. You can return to version 3A by selecting it from the "betas" tab after right clicking on the game in your Steam library. Here is the change list:
ADDITIONS

Added a last-resort legacy mode for very old OpenGL 2.x systems that can be enabled using the command line arguments "-l" or "legacy". Will create lots of visual artifacts and messes up the non-square aspect ratio of the game, but should at least allow the game to run on really old laptops and such.

FIXES

Sounds effects are not automatically re-enabled on startup if they were disabled in the user's settings, or using command line arguments.
Made minor tweaks to OpenGL extension functions to allow startup using OpenGL 2.x drivers that have certain OpenGL 3 capabilities but don't consider them to be extensions for whatever reason.
Fixed a bug introduced in Version 3A that prevented the game from ignoring repeated keyboard input from holding down a key.
Fixed a number of issues that were preventing the OS X version from booting in El Capitan.
The progress meter should now correctly reset when erasing a save and starting a new game in that slot.
More typo corrections.

Please report any problems you are having with the new version, so that they can be fixed as soon as possible. Here is the change log:
ADDITIONS

All hotkeys are now (mostly) customizable in the settings file.

CHANGES

Major overhaul on the game's backend.

FIXES

Fixed crash at startup if a key enumeration value in the settings file did not exist.
The numeric keypad keys are now enumerated.
You can now play the game with any gamepad connected to the system, as intended, not just the first player gamped.
Phials no longer cause battles to get stuck when consumed.
Attempting to open the menu and move on the same frame no longer confuses the engine to allow the player to skip/ignore warping and scripting tiles.
Fixed an issue with the achievements "Pupil" and "Apprentice" not firing correctly. These two achievements will be awarded upon loading a save if the game detects they have been earned but not yet unlocked.
The "Excavator" achievement should now fire more consistently.
Returning to the Shaman's hut after completing the related side-quest no longer causes the game to freeze.
Fixed a visual glitch on the Vision Riders logo screen when resetting the game.
More typos corrected.

The new update for Another Star brings numerous bug fixes and a new backend to the game, but it needs testing before it's ready to go live for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, consider opting in to the beta by following the steps outlined below.
Go to your Steam library and find "Another Star". It's probably in your favorites, right? Of course it is.
Right-click (or ctrl-click if you're on a Mac) on the game in your library and select "properties".
There should be a tab in the properties window called "Betas". Select that.
In the drop-down box, change the "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" to "beta - Open beta testing branch". (Don't worry about the access code; it's an open beta so you don't need one.)
Click close. The beta version should be queued to load and download soon.
And that's all! If you run into any problems, make sure to let me know in the Steam forums.
