Hi everyone,
We wanted to try something a little different over the next few weeks. We have been asked by several players that they'd like to offer assistance via advanced development builds. One of our objectives is to catch some issues that we do not experience on our computer set ups before they are made public.
However, if you intend to activate the patch preview builds, be expected to see a lot of bugs, issues and even some features that are unfinished and may not be functioning correctly. If you would like to brave these conditions and offer constructive input to help us improve the overall game so every build before being made live to the public is as good as it can be, then please follow the instructions below:
1. Right click the game in your library and select properties
2. Click the BETA tab
3. Enter the following code Steamshoppe2015
4. This should activate the patch test depot
5. Just above where you entered the code, there is a drop down menu, select Patch test
6. The game should download the patch test depot (you may need to verify integrity of game cache or restart steam first)
We would greatly appreciate it if players who activate the Patch Preview post all their issues in the patch preview forum and do not post in the general discussions or any other forum.
The Patch Preview forum is here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/381120/discussions/4/
If you have any questions, please do let us know. This is a rather intimate form of development and there are definitely arguments for and against making these Patch previews completely public. But we will see how it turns out and if things don't work out, we will simply change how we work to improve the game
