Hi everyone,
You can now test Major Update 1 ahead of its official release!
To gain access, you’ll need to switch to a beta branch – here’s how to do that:
- Find SENTRY in your Steam library and right-click on it, selecting “Properties”
- In the menu that pops up, choose “Betas”
- There is a “Beta Participation” drop-down list, select “Beta Branch”
- In your Library you should see “[betabranch]” appended to the game name
When you play the new version, the most important thing to consider is that while your profile saves will carry over (i.e. all your equipment you’ve unlocked thus far), your current escape run will not – so if you’re in the middle of a run and you don’t want to lose any new blueprints you haven’t banked, reach a gate and bank them before switching to the new version.
Because of the new campaign setup, once you test the Beta Branch please avoid going back to the old version, as when you return to the new one you’ll lose any ship or campaign unlocks in the latest version.
It’s generally good practice to back up your profile saves for situations like these just in case :)
You can find your save folder here: C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Fireblade Software\SENTRY\Saves\Steam
With those logistical details out the way, dive in and have fun!
We’d love to hear any feedback, particularly on the new additions. In order to not mix up beta branch feedback with the main game, we’ve created a new area on the Steam forums to post your beta branch comments: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1252680/discussions/0/
Thanks for your continued support! Once the new build has been put through its paces we’ll officially release it, along with a detailed list of what has changed.
