As we push forward and want to keep delivering updates to continually fix the problems people are experiencing, we are launching a beta client.
We want to try to get more feedback based on that and want to be able to beta test our upcoming patches to decrease bugs in the Stable builds.
In the current beta we want to test NW.JS 0.12 - to see how it affects performance and some other known bugs, we had to disable achievements and Steam features for it to work. The beta is only available on Windows.
How to access the beta build?
1. Right click on "Shadows of War" in your Steam Library
2. Select "Properties"
3. Select the "Beta" tab
4. Select the "beta" in the dropdown and close the window.
We look forward to your feedback based on this initiative.
//Edit: As it looks like this Beta does what it meant to do - it fixes the Loading Screen freeze/crash bug.
