How to join the Public Beta Test?
Want to help us out & get an early look at the new version of the game? Awesome!
DISCLAIMER: Before jumping straight in, please understand that this version of the game might be unstable, create issues when switching between old & new builds of the game, and may generally be less stable, more buggy, and in an overall imperfect state. We will do our best to help you with any issues, but please understand the risks associated with beta testing.
If you understand the potential problems and are willing to take the risk, here's how you can get in:
How to join:
Open your Steam client, find Yet Another Zombie Survivors on your games list, right-click its name and select the "Properties..." option.
Enter the "Betas" tab, click the "None" drop-down menu on the right, and select the "public-beta" option. You can always return to the default version of the game by selecting "None" again.
If you want to share your feedback about the beta version (thanks in advance!), click the image below to join our Discord server (you'll need an account for that, but it'll be worth it, believe me!):
When joined, you will be able to comment on the current beta version in the new #yazs-beta forums, which you can join by selecting it from the drop-down list:
And that's all! If the beta/test version of the game is different from the current one, the Steam will update the game with its changes. You will know that the Beta Branch is active from the "[public-beta]" text to the right of the game's title in your game's library.
What should I test in this version?
The new difficulty scaling! Especially the experience from the start till the later levels. We've worked hard to ensure that all areas, modes, and difficulties now scale more consistently than before. If the difficulty feels wrong, please share your experience and Survival Level with us! Oh, right! There's also a new map, enemies, items, achievements, and lots of other stuff!
Here are some of the things that have been added/changed in this release:
New area with new hazards and 6 new enemies (2 boss enemies).
Endless mode reworked into two separate modes: Endurance & Infinite.
New difficulty scaling system for all maps, game modes, difficulty & horde levels.
New enemy type: Elite Boss - immune to status effects, spawns on Endurance mode.
17 new items & 20 new achievements (will be added to Steam at 0.9 full release).
Reworked Achievements menu, with each type of challenge now tied to its own tab.
Radar Minimap & Randomize Choices options. New options menu tab - Interface.
Multiple other bugfixes, balance & quality of life changes.
We'll provide the final changelog at the full release of the 0.9 update.
What should I do if the game works worse or crashes?
Keep us posted on the stability of the game, as we'll continue to work on improving the game and fixing any issues you may encounter with this beta test. If the game stutters or crashes more than before, please let us know!
If your game is performing worse than before, please press F8 on your keyboard and quickly fill out the survey to let us know what's going on. This will also send us your log files so we can check if there are any errors happening in the background.
If your game is crashing, freezing, lagging, or you've lost your progress, please make sure you've checked the Troubleshooting Guide (link below) first, and contact [email protected] with the description of the issue you've encountered.

There are a lot of additions in this update, and a few details we need to polish, so we'll probably keep this beta running for around two weeks. Naturally, we'll make the necessary changes and improvements based on your feedback.
Thank you for all your support and patience :heart_me:ㅤStay awesome,
