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](https://unity.com/how-to/simplify-your-content-management-addressables), 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!
