A new build has been released on the Testing Branch. We hope to iterate and fix issues quickly so that we can push it to the Main branch in a few days.
The Testing Branch is available to all users simply by right clicking on the Ground Branch listing in your library and select Properties. Then select Beta and in the dropdown titles 'Select the beta you would like to opt into' select 'testing - GroundBranch testing build'.
You will then get an update and will now see Ground Branch(testing) in your library. You can fo back and forth between builds simply by changing that Opt-In option.
