There.com for macOS Alpha Test Open for All
Exciting news! There.com has opened the Alpha macOS testing for all users to explore. Please note, we are still in the Alpha test phase so the platform will have many, many bugs and may not work at all. If you have an Apple computer and are running macOS 14 Sonoma you are eligible to help test the Mac version of the virtual world There.com.
Download the Apple TestFlight app in order to access the Alpha client and to provide feedback. Please make sure to use the Apple feedback mechanisms to report crashes and send feedback.
You can access the MacOS Alpha version of There.com here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/sVKtMtCG
During testing if you do crash, you’ll need to email your There.log to Staff at feedback@thereinc.com separately outside of the TestFlight app. Right now, the macOS version is not cool enough to automatically send crash reports. Make sure to include the subject line macOS Crash Report and provide your username in the email. Remember to attach the There.log to your email.
Your There.log is stored in a sandbox. The file can be added to your email as an attachment.
Go to Finder and click on the GO menu item and choose Go to Folder. You can also type Command+Shift+G.
Next, you’ll see a dialog box where you can fill in the folder name. It may already be filled in for you. The sandbox folder name is /Users/username/Library/Containers/com.there.therealpha/. Username will be your Avatar’s name. You can locate There data in the sandbox’s Data/Makena folder.
/Users/username/Library/Containers/com.there.therealpha/Data/Makena
Once you’ve typed in the folder name hit return and the finder should display the Makena folder.
The Makena folder has “There.log” in it along with a folder for your chat logs. Make sure to attach the There.log to your email.
You will need to have a Premium Membership in There.com to test Voice and all of the other perks that come with a Premium account. Upgrade your There Membership here.
The CEO of There, Mr. Wilson will be communicating to all Alpha testers through his personal blog I Am So There. You will want to subscribe to the blog to receive update notifications.
Mr. Wilson has posted Tips and Tools for the There OSX Alpha Test which provides instructions to testers for the next steps.
Thank you for volunteering to be a There.com virtual world Alpha Mac Tester. We value your time and greatly appreciate your efforts. See you There!
Be One of the First Mac Alpha Testers for There.com!
Do you want to be among the pioneers exploring the virtual world of There.com on your Mac computer? We’re excited to announce that we’re seeking five dedicated macOS 14 users to test an Alpha version of There.com!
The test client is feature complete and does almost everything the Windows version does, but most likely will be unstable in the early phase. A current version of macOS 14 Sonoma is required. There is no minimum hardware spec because if your machine can run macOS 14, it can run the There.com virtual world platform.
We’re looking for testers who can articulate their experiences with precision. Clear, detailed reports outlining any encountered errors are crucial for our Engineers to address issues promptly. The There.com macOS 14 Alpha test client will be closed to anyone outside of the small, approved group of users. Testers should not re-distribute the test Mac client version to other Thereians.
If you are interested in testing the There.com virtual world on a Mac computer, email Feedback@thereinc.com with your username and verify which version of the macOS 14 client you are running. Enter “Mac Alpha Testing” as your email subject line. Only five Alpha testers will be chosen from the list of applicants. The five users will be invited to test the software through TestFlight, the macOS utility testing software.
Please note, there is no projected release date for a macOS 14 There.com client. We are just at the very beginning stages of testing a Mac client version of our virtual world.
