There was no beta thread.
I have my black bars at the side of my screen because I chose a resolution less than what my TV supports (these black bars are expected). They don't refresh and so I see still images of anything that happens in the black region - like steam notifications. This also means that if I [ALT] + [TAB] I my bars become grey like steam.
So far, I have no in game errors. I'm hoping I get to stay in air for a reason using the smoke screen magic.
I will report back.
