Does this patch have any effects on older OS systems? I'm currently running  High Sierra, but I'm afraid to download the new patch. I know newer systems like Mojave and Catinlina require the notarization system but High Sierra doesn't as much. Thank you.

    @MaricBate Older macOS releases honor the notarization and signing but don't require it. Mojave is more insistent on needing it. Catalina requires it.

    The notarization and signing should be invisible to you on older systems (and invisible on newer systems too since they will no longer complain about it missing).

      Sorry for the late response, but thank you. I've been looking in the forums all day and my concern came about when I saw someone on twitter post about that huge issue that's been going on (the one that starts with 135)/ the language issue. I still haven't downloaded the new update because, from reading the forums, it seems(I might be wrong) like some people who were already playing in English have this problem too? (I always play in English) Thank you so much for taking the time to work through this! Hope you and the team can find a fix soon 🙂
