Meadow Live Update November 1 2023

Meadow

A forum in games clothing, this online fable experience lets old and new fans of the Shelter series come together and encounter a peculiar world.

[h3]Meadow Classic[/h3] For anyone who wants to play Meadow as it has been before this update, and any future update we apply, we've created a separate branch of the game that we call Meadow Classic. You can view it as Meadow frozen in time. Players on Classic will inhabit the same space as players on the regular branch, but won't get the benefit of new updates and won't see new skins or be able to engage with any new features. It's for those of you who want Meadow to stay exactly the same. How to join Meadow Classic: [list] [*] Right-click the game in your Steam library [*] Go to Properties [*] Go to Betas [*] Choose "meadow_classic" [/list] [h3]New features[/h3] [list] [*] Initial support of HTTPS servers to avoid antiviruses blocking connections.
