Online Co-op Beta - Up to Four Players Enabled!

I've pushed out the latest patch for the Online Co-op Beta test! Here's what's in it:

  • Raised max online player limit to 4
  • Improved savegame interface to allow more than 8 saves, separated Quicksaves and Autosaves
  • Added Log Screen (press F5)
  • Try to avoid characters talking while using their inventory
  • Fixed various crashes

The changes to the savegame system and the new log screen should benefit people playing single player too - I've had quite a few people asking for them.

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! You can post a reply to this news post or email me or post in the forums.
