Show the winter background

[richard]

The new winter background is so beautiful, I would love to see it in game. However, even after loading the patch, I still get the same one I have had from the start. (I didn't see the Halloween one, either, but didn't mind that too much.)
Is there something special I need to do to get it to display? I looked in settings and anywhere else I could think of. Please give me any suggestions you may have. Thanks!

It looks like you can choose the new background when you create a custom game, but it doesn't seem to transfer over to the automa games (and perhaps not the other online games either?)

Hi Richard and Clairem - took me forever to figure it out. I posted instructions on the Wingspan page, but for Automa you need to choose your bird, select color, skip if you don't want to change your person (hit the back arrow) then the backgrounds all come up - you can choose any of them. You cannot change the Automa background from what I've found. Hope this helps!

You actually can change the background for the Automa mode, too!

All you need to do is click on the player banner while on the Automa mode screen. After you choose your color and avatar, you'll be able to choose a background, including the winter one.
