Are there any Mac Steam Beta users in here? I'm going to try to put out a Mac beta tomorrow and was hoping to get some outside users to let me know if there are any major issues.

I can do a quick run through on my Mavericks hackintosh. When will the beta go live?

I set the latest mac build as osx_default. Not sure if it works or not cause I don't have one to test with.
This build should have up until this past 2 months tables (Lights Camera Action and High Roller Casino)
The mac steam build hadn't been updated since you left Stuart.

Findings on my MacBook Air running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4:
On a side note, it didn't run on my hackintosh! The sound engine wouldn't initialize (it would rapidly and indefinitely play an obnoxious clicking noise at a high frequency) and nothing was spitting out into the console. Boo. >
- No version number in the options menu (the build that is live on the steam store displays v1.21.0 in the options menu and the build only has Fish Tales in Season 3). However, my crash file (in a later point) indicates that it is v1.29.0 (1).
- The table that is currently in testing is built into the build rather than downloaded from the CDN. Seems to be a "bad" build as there is no menu audio and the table doesn't start (stays in flyby).
- All of the tables between Fish Tales and the current table in testing download and run fine.
- I experienced a crash while scrolling through Season 2's tables. The dev that made the archive can import my crash file into Xcode and resymbolicate the call stack to potentially get some clues. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...m_2014-07-30-222404_Stuarts-MacBook-Air.crash
- Steam cloud saving is working as expected.

Thanks Stuart. I passed it along so they can fix the build.

Our Mac guy Colin, posted a build under "osx_external_beta". Let us know if that fixes anything. If anyone wants beta access and doesn't have it, let us know.
