You can deviate at some parts of this guide if you're wanting to use a different fix, or anything else.
Disclaimers:
- Due to BetaEvolutions editing a lot of stuff, it is highly recommended that you do not use other mods whilst using it.
- (Language file edits, terrain edits and so on, are compatible, so long as BetaEvo doesn't conflict with it.)
- Make a ticket on the Discord guild if you're encountering issues.
- In the event you encounter an error related to Discord RPC and if the game shows up with broken colors, please reference the BetaEvolutions/Apple Silicon Mac install guide.
