Gang Beasts patch 1.23 is releasing today for all currently supported platforms. 

There are a number of bug fixes in the 1.23 release but no new stages or costumes. The key modification to the game in this build is the implementation of Unity’s Addressables Asset System[unity.com], the adoption of this system standardises and optimises the process for testing and releasing game content. 

The Addressables implementation is a significant modification to the game and we expect the 1.23 build to trigger some limited stability issues on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The instructions for fixing this issue are:

Windows:

• Open File Explorer
  
• Go to this path replacing 'YourUser' with the users name on the computer you are playing on - C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\LocalLow\Boneloaf\Gang Beasts
  
• Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

macOS:

• Open Finder
  
• Go to path replacing YourUser with the users name on the mac you are playing on - /Users/YourUser/Library/Application Support/com.Boneloaf.GangBeasts
  
• Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

SteamOS/Linux (including Steam Deck):

• Open Dolphin
  
• Go to this path - /home/deck/.config/unity3d/Boneloaf/Gang Beasts/
  
• Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

If you playing Gang Beasts on a Steam Deck, switch to Desktop Mode first then follow the above SteamOS/Linux steps.

Beware of hostile cephalopods!
