I've updated the online co-op beta test to fix the biggest problems people were seeing in the first week. Here's my change list:
- Added Invite button and ability to join from Steam UI
- Fixed 'Friends Only' mode not working
- Fixed hang when switching characters
- Fixed floating point 'Out of Sync' error
If you haven't tried the beta test yet, you can test it by doing the following:
- Right-click on Survivalist in your Steam library and click Properties
- Go to the Betas tab
- Select publicbeta on the drop-down where it asks you what beta you want to opt in to
- PLEASE NOTE: any savegames you make with this branch will not be compatible if you switch back to the main branch. So don't overwrite anything that's important to you!
If you find any problems, let me know! Or if you don't have any problems, that's useful to know as well :) You can post a reply to this news post or email me or post in the forums.
