Due to the nature of our frequent updates, we sometimes make a tiny change that affects a subset of our players. Often these go unnoticed until a few hours after an update, forcing us to patch it up quickly. Some players enjoy getting the very latest at the cost of some bugs, and are often keen on helping us by reporting them. Others may not enjoy this and just want a stable experience. This also means that if you run the testing version and you find it unplayable, you can just switch back to the normal one and we will fix it as soon as we can.
This is why we have introduced an opt-in testing branch which has the very latest content. After it has been there for around a day and everything is fixed we move it to the normal branch, i.e. the normal download. This means that you will get the updates around a day before we announce it if you choose to opt-in.
We hope that this will make most critical bugs "voluntary", at the cost of slightly delayed updates.
How do you opt-in? You right-click on "The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time" in your Steam library, press "Properties..." as shown in
and then you go to "Betas"
and choose the testing branch. To opt-out you select "None".
We hope this will make the updates smoother!
Stay safe and keep nootin'!
