A note for our Mac users:

Due to Apple’s recent announcement of newer macOS software updates preventing the future support of many non-Apple Silicon Macs, and increased frequency of reports to our support address of instability on Intel and AMD Macs in the latest macOS versions despite our lack of impactful changes to our games during those times, we are updating our minimum and recommended requirements of Firmament to remove official support for non-Apple Silicon Macs.

You may still be able to play Firmament on certain Intel and AMD-based Macs at this time, but you may run into unexpected issues with game stability, performance, visual defects, and more, especially if you are playing on macOS Sequoia or above. Unfortunately, Cyan is unable to make meaningful changes to remedy these issues, as they appear rooted in changes in the operating system updates themselves and how they interact with our games over time.

As a studio that has been around for over 35 years, we've seen many operating systems and different hardware platforms go through similar growing pains. With some of our games being on digital stores for 15+ years, we pride ourselves in being able to maintain and continue offering our decades-old award-winning games to folks. However, there almost always comes a time in which software or hardware deprecation forces us to make tough decisions like this, and we can no longer provide the experience folks expect us to in those cases.

Firmament Patch 2.0

Hello, everyone! Firmament version 2.0 is here with some big stability updates, tech-adds, improvements, and more to make your experience playing Firmament even better.

This update is a beefy one, and we’ve tried to consolidate it as much as we could to make sure you all know what to expect. Let’s do this thing! Engine Upgrade

First things first: We’ve upgraded Firmament from using Unreal Engine 4.27+ to Unreal Engine 5.3.2. Doing this has resolved a WIDE number of stability issues related to the game running on various platforms.

Content Changes

Ray Tracing Changes

This is a big one…

We’ve got two things to cover, the first being that ray traced reflections are now supported in Firmament! You can now experience higher quality, more realistic reflections around Firmament when you enable ray tracing in your graphics settings menu. Note that enabling ray tracing will have a performance impact on your machine based on your screen’s resolution and hardware capabilities.

Second, ray tracing isn’t just supported on Windows in Firmament – it is now available for the powerful M3 and M4 family of chips on Mac as well. We just recently released a patch for Myst that added the same support. It has been very hard to find out in any of our research if Myst or Firmament are, in-fact, one of the first titles with hardware ray tracing support for M3 and M4 chips to be released (maybe they’re the first Unreal Engine title with this support?). Let us know if you know! We want another excuse to celebrate our hard work on this patch over here.
