IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO MAKE A SAVE BACKUP: We highly recommend making a backup of your saved games before you run an optional beta, on the off-chance that some changes cause them to be corrupted. WARNING: This beta changes many things about freeplay mode, including how it is saved! Old freeplay saves will no longer be loadable. Please note that optional betas are only accessible on the Steam Windows 64 bit build. Any and all feedback on this optional beta is very much appreciated - please post it to the community discussions! Thanks so much to our focus group who have been providing feedback to get this patch to this point. We are after feedback on all manner of things in this very extensive update, mainly focusing on glitches that crop up, crashes, and balance.

There’s a complete reworking of the freeplay / custom game mode AI, a new streamlined setup mode called Skirmish, major rebalances for the campaign, a big extension to the enemy mounting system, and lots of new artwork to replace older assets. These optional betas are vital to catching issues that need a much bigger sample size than we can manage with internal quality control and the small focus group - we’re so glad you’re choosing to be a part of it!Ī large update is imminent - large enough that we’re running an optional beta to test it out before we make it permanent. The most urgent fix here is a translation problem that was causing large issues with freeplay setup in non-English languages.Īgain, the reports are very much appreciated. We’ve addressed some of the more pressing issues that have cropped up in this patch (V0.310044) - this is the first of what we anticipate to be several patches during the testing period. They’re friendly devs, too, as long as John has had his 7 hours of sleep! Thanks for the feedback on the optional beta! Our Discord server has been a particularly active hive of activity over the last several hours since it was released, and we thoroughly encourage you to join - the devs are currently very active there, responding to bug reports and collating feedback. If you're not participating in the optional beta yet and would like to, see the original post for details on how to participate.
