PC + Mac Crossplay Misaligned Updates

[MagnoRisu]

After updating our game to Patch #4, my friend and I were playing together where I was on PC and they were on Mac. Then, when we reloaded a save, the game crashed but booted the game up again anyway. Afterward, when my friend tried to join back into the game, the game listed an error saying that we had different versions of the game and it had to be compatible. It was really strange but looking on Steam local files, it listed that my PC had another update hours after I finished downloading Patch #4. Not sure what to do in that aspect, but can't play with friends now unfortunately due to the game apparently "updating." Anyone have any tips for this in that regard?

Never use an autoupdated version of the game when playing multiplayer.

We deployed a small fix today on PC to address an issue preventing players from clicking on filtered abilities and items related to equipped weapons. We still need to do further testing on Mac, but we'll let you know once the fix is live on the platform. This is what would cause this version difference.

Can the older version for PC be installed as a beta?

Aaaaand 8 hours later still not done testing? Also consoles are out of sync too.

I also think it's silly to release an update for just one platform if your game is multiplatform. It's especially foolish to do it on a Friday evening, right before the weekend when people play the most. Essentially, it deprives them of the opportunity to spend time playing with friends.

I was trying to figure out how to do this and I'm so, so confused.

100% agree, we could have waited until the patch was fully tested/bugfixed and not released on a friday when everyone wants to resume their campaigns with their multiplatform friends

Should have rolled back patch 4 if they found such serious bugs, or at least offered the option to downgrade as a beta option in the meantime
