There are a number of bug fixes in the 1.23 release [u]but no new stages or costumes[/u]. The key modification to the game in this build is the implementation of Unity’s [url=https://unity.com/how-to/simplify-your-content-management-addressables]Addressables Asset System[/url], 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:
