Port requirements vary based on the Looking Glass system you're using. {% hint style="warning" %} Looking Glass Studio 1.7.0 Supports Windows and MacOS (Apple Silicon). MacOS 15.0 is required. For Intel Mac Support or MacOS 13 and 14 Please use version [1.6.0](#previous-versions) {% endhint %} We recommend running Looking Glass Studio on computers with a dedicated graphics card. Computers that only have integrated graphics will provide a lower quality experience. #### Graphics Performance {% hint style="success" %} For the best performance, we recommend using a computer with a graphics card equivalent to a GTX 1650 or higher. {% endhint %} If your computer has two graphics cards, Looking Glass Studio will always attempt to use the higher performance card, but this sometimes fails. If you are using a Windows computer and are seeing performance issues, you can manually force this using these steps: * Press the Windows Key and type "Graphics Settings" * In Graphics Settings, under "Desktop app" select "Browse" and browse to your installation of Looking Glass Studio, by default it is located here: `C:\User\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Looking Glass Studio` - where `[USERNAME]` is your username. * In "Options", select "High Performance" ### Required Software For Looking Glass Studio to run, you must have [Looking Glass Bridge](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-bridge) installed. Once downloaded and installed, ensure your Looking Glass Portrait is connected and in Desktop Mode before opening and using Looking Glass Studio. ## Previous Versions If you would like to be prompted to update automatically, please select `Menu > File > Preference`s and check "Automatically check for updates" * 0.3.1-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.1-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.1-beta.dmg) * 0.3.2-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.2-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.2-beta.dmg) * 0.3.4-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.4-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.4-beta.dmg) * 0.3.5-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.5-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.5-beta.dmg) * 0.3.6-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.6-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.6-beta.dmg) * 0.3.7-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.7-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.7-beta.dmg) * 1.0.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.0.dmg) * 1.0.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.1.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.1.dmg) * 1.0.2: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.2.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.2.dmg) * 1.0.3: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.3.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.3.dmg) * 1.0.4: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.4.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.4.dmg) * 1.0.5: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.5.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.5.dmg) * 1.1.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.1.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.1.0.dmg) * 1.1.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.1.1.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.1.1.dmg) * 1.2.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.2.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.2.0.dmg) * 1.3.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.3.0.Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.3.0.dmg) * 1.5.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.0.Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.0.dmg) * 1.5.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.1-Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.1.dmg) * 1.6.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.6.0-Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.6.0.dmg) If you're having issues with Looking Glass Studio you can check out our [**troubleshooting page**](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/troubleshooting)**.** If those resources don't help solve your issue, email us at `developer@lookingglassfactory.com`
