Hello everyone!
Now that you all know what is coming up next post release (you should check the [url= https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1129580/view/2896367976371134909]roadmap[/url]) we’ll bring back our useful tool, that served us so well in the Early Access. The test branch. No secret things that should remain hidden to create some tension. At least for a while. The big PLUS: it gets us a ton of feedback from you!
Let us dive in directly:
How to join the public staging?
Some of you probably have not done this before, so we have a small guide:
Prerequisite:
You must have Medieval Dynasty in your library – obviously.
The procedure
- Open your game library.
- Right Click on Medieval Dynasty there.
- Open properties.
- Select the tab "BETAS".*
- Enter this password below the dropdown in the field: MedievalStaging
- Press CHECK CODE
- Use the drop down and select “release_build_staging”. This is the public stage.
- Press Close
Steam should now download this version of the game.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE SAVE YOUR LIVE VERSION SAVES GAME BEFORE ACCESSING THE PUBLIC STAGING BUILD!
Just in case something goes awry!
Saves can be found here:
AppData > Local > Medieval_Dynasty > Saved > SaveGames
*Steam labels all those builds as "betas” albeit they’re not betas, so do not be too confused!
