【PUBLIC BETA ENDS; EARLY ACCESS BEGINS】
We would like to thank all the players and the community for their support and input during the public beta period. The major game issues and game balance have been addressed with the help of players and the community. Meanwhile, after all the effort, Valve has finally approved the release of HEAT REBORN on Steam in the form of "Early Access". The Steam-related community features will be officially activated after this update. Therefore, we will be performing a migration to the official app id on Steam and all players will be required to reinstall HEAT REBORN after this update. We have also added the “Migration Helper” tools in the update to help you transit everything from Beta to the “Early Access” version effortlessly and save the time needed to re-download and install the “early access” version completely.

【MIGRATION HELPER】
After this update, the "Migration Helper" tool will appear when you open the "HEAT REBORN BETA" game. The program will help you to transfer the game settings from the public beta version to the early access version, you just need to click "Upgrade Now" and wait for the progress bar to finish.
(Please do not interrupt or force close the program while it is running, otherwise, there is a chance that some game files will be corrupted)
What is "Migration Helper"? What is the purpose?
"Migration Helper" will transfer the game settings (e.g. mouse sensitivity, screen settings, button bindings, etc.) and game files from the public beta version of HEAT REBORN BETA to our latest Early Access version. The migration helper will only copy your existing “HEAT REBORN BETA” game files and game settings. This saves you time and does not require you to spend time re-downloading the full game while preserving the settings of your public test game.
Why do I need to transfer? What are the benefits?
As we have now ended the public beta, our “HEAT REBORN BETA” AppID, which was used for beta purposes on Steam will be deactivated. The AppID used in the public beta has some limitations, so after the AppID is transferred, game publishers and players will have access to the full Steam platform and game-related community features, which will help our overall development.
What is the Early Access version?
Get immediate access to a game that allows the community to participate in the development process. The game developers will take your feedback and update the game content while developing. For more information, please refer to the following website: Steam: What is Early Access Game?
Will my game account data be affected if I don't use the "Migration Helpers"?
If you choose not to use "Migration Helper", it will not affect your game data, including character rank, weapon settings, character data, and money. Except you need extra time to download the complete game file and reset the game settings (e.g. screen settings, mouse sensitivity, key binding, etc. will be reset to default values).
Why can I no longer open the game with HEAT REBORN BETA?
The "HEAT REBORN BETA" in the Steam game library will now be deactivated and you must use "HEAT REBORN" to open the game
