0.3.69 Mac, Windows, Linux testing-69

testing-69. Network protocol 41.

Protected Custom Edition maps load. A light the window cannot show is dropped. In co-op, a scripted move that misses the floor puts the player back, and a teleport checks the floor at the unit's middle. With enhanced animations on, an airborne player turns with the aim. The host's START NOW starts the match.

Lens flares and lights stay visible on AMD. Nav markers move with the picture. Linux and Windows can play 5.1 surround when audio.channels is 5.1 or auto. Mac stays stereo. An update with more files than the updater can install is refused.

On Linux, a disc prompt that cannot be shown stops, and a crash is reported from startup. On Linux and Windows, the mouse still locks when relative mode is unavailable. Windows borderless mode stays out of exclusive fullscreen. Saving settings keeps the window mode chosen with F11. A frame the graphics driver holds for seconds is written to the log.

Mac: open OpenCE-macos-arm64.dmg and drag OpenCE into Applications. This build is for Apple Silicon and macOS 26 or later. The app is ad hoc signed. If macOS blocks the first open, allow it in System Settings under Privacy and Security.

This is a prerelease. A copy already on testing build 68 offers it the next time it starts. A main build leaves it alone until Testing Releases is turned on.
