Update 2.0.3 (28/05/2025) Global

Save games are now placed in subfolders with the game names on both macOS and Windows, instead of in a global ScummVM save folder. Save games that already exist will be copied over from the original possible save game locations to the new location (only once) to accommodate this change.

Launching the game directly, when launching the game for the very first time, will auto-select the in-game language to be the language you have set on your operating system (if there is a match).

This is a part of the larger 2.0 update for the legacy titles. Please see the 2.0 update notes for more information. https://cyan.com/2025/05/22/legacy-titles-2-0-update/
Update 2.0.2 (22/05/2025) Global

Updated ScummVM to version 2.9.0

Updated the SDL2 library used by ScummVM to version 2.32.6

Multiple stability, performance, and compatibility improvements

Controller support added to emulate mouse interactions

User settings now persist between game launches
Windows Only

Windows executable is now 64-bit

Updated the taskbar icon

Save games are now stored in AppData/Roaming/ScummVM. Existing saves are automatically copied over to the new location

Windows 7 64 bit and above is now required to run the game
Mac Only

Added native Apple silicon executable

Workarounds for opening the Mac binary on various modern macOS versions and chipsets are now no longer necessary

Fixed the issue with the system mouse cursor visibility on MacBook models with a notch

Fixed the issue with the game asking to receive keystrokes from other applications

Save games are now stored in Library/Application Support/ScummVM. Existing saves are automatically copied over to the new location

Decreased min-spec to macOS 10.9.5 from 10.13 (yes, that means folks on older Macs can play these games now!)

64-bit requirement note: Please note that this update removes 32-bit support for all three titles. This change really only applies to folks who have been playing these games on extremely old operating systems. If you are one of those users and wish to keep access to those builds, you can find them in the “last_32bit_release” beta branch for each game, which should be available without needing to enter a beta code.

If you encounter issues with this latest patch, please contact support@cyan.com.

We’ve been hard at work for the last few months coding, testing, and preparing to ship these changes to you all. Although these changes aren’t necessarily new content updates to the games, Cyan remains committed to continuing to support our legacy games on modern platforms when we’re able to. Riven: The Sequel to Myst was originally released 28 years ago, Myst: Masterpiece Edition was released around 25 years ago (if you ignore the very original release of Myst released 32 years ago), and Myst III: Exile was released 24 years ago.

Every purchase you make of our games goes toward our ability to support our titles years into the future. We consider ourselves outliers in the industry based on our ability and commitment to keep supporting our games for decades, but it is only possible with your support. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has purchased all three of these games and beyond!

There is no better time to experience Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), and Myst III: Exile. Thank you for your support, and enjoy!
