I am on a MAC and I have a white screen on startup, what do I do?
The white screen with Mac issue seems to be caused exclusively by Steam. Disabling the "Steam Overlay" before launching the game should resolve the issue. To disable to overlay, open up the steam library, right click on Influent in the list of games, click on properties, then disable the Steam Overlay.

Is it cool to make a YouTube, Twitch, or Hitbox stream of Influent?
Yes, please do! Thank you for spreading the word, you are awesome! Please list the following in your description:

I made video content about Influent… is it okay to monetize?
If you already own the game, feel free to monetize your videos. Advertising should not interfere with user access to video.

Can I have a review copy of Influent?
Yes, we would love to supply you with a review code. To make things easier, we ask you contact us via a domain URL address. We will confirm the request and channel. If we discover a review key was sent in error to an unconfirmed source, we will forward your information to Valve/Humble and blacklist the key.

I wound up not using the review code, can I trade/sell it?
No. These key are for review purposes only. Confirmation of selling or trading a review code will result in blacklisting.
