Myst Patch 3.0.5 Fixes Progression Bugs and Drops Intel Mac Support

Myst update 3.0.5 resolves progression-blocking library levers, fixes localization issues in journal textures, and updates DLSS for Windows. At the same time, Cyan is officially dropping support for non-Apple Silicon Macs due to persistent instability on recent macOS versions.

Cyan has released patch 3.0.5 for Myst, bringing bug fixes for game-breaking progression blocks, controller adjustments, and platform-specific updates. Alongside these fixes, the studio announced an end to official support for Intel and AMD-based Macs.

Progression and Puzzle Fixes

The update fixes a bug in the Myst Island library where specific levers could block game progress. A timing issue that prevented players from clicking the Rime book pedestal after raising it is also resolved. Channelwood splash effects now trigger correctly when a frog jumps into the water, and lighting in a specific Myst Island chamber is corrected.

Localization and Interface Adjustments

Journal textures that incorrectly appeared in English when French was selected are now fixed. Similarly, the Channelwood journal on Myst Island now displays in Portuguese instead of Spanish when the Portuguese language setting is active. Gamepad interactions involving shoulder buttons on certain puzzles and Rime area visibility timing are also improved.

Platform Updates and Mac Support

Windows users receive an update to DLSS 4.0.2, and cached shaders are updated to reduce minor hitching. Xbox and Microsoft Store versions now use a newer GDK version, switch the default movie player to Electra, and remove an unintended legacy navigation menu setting. For Mac players, Cyan has officially dropped support for non-Apple Silicon Macs. The studio states that recent macOS updates cause persistent instability and visual defects on Intel and AMD hardware that cannot be resolved on their end.

Why this patch matters

Patch 3.0.5 clears up progress blockers and visual glitches, but the discontinuation of Intel and AMD Mac support removes official compatibility for older Apple computers.
