Let's Do This!

CALLING ALL GUARDIANS

We are looking to discover an anomaly and the more Guardians that can participate the faster we can locate it!

[UPDATE]
The separate branch has been created! To participate, please do the following:

A. Join this Testing Discord

https://discord.gg/RfmEE5S

B. Switch to the testing build

  • Right-Click 'Guardians of Orion' in your Steam Library.
  • Select 'Properties', click the 'Beta' tab.
  • Type in the password: year2goobeta and select 'Check'
  • Let the new update download!

There is no gameplay in this build. All you will be able to do is join the Orbital Command lobby. You will be connecting to a development server that will be monitoring and checking for an anomaly on the lobby.

We've also addressed a few other issues we've seen reported and will release this alongside this last major fix we want to integrate.

MAXIMUM POWER

Wow! We were very excited for this release and we know all of you were too - but not like this! Thank you so much for the support! Long story short, we had more users connect in 60 seconds than all of the users combined who registered for the beta! We were ready for an increased in usage, but nothing of this magnitude! In addition to the extreme amount of activity we've also upgraded ALL Standard (non-upgraded) accounts ($1) to celebrate the official release! So every owner that only had the Assault Guardian was joining and also receiving the Support and Recon Guardian - you're welcome & happy holidays ya filthy animals! This mixed with everything else plus how many players were joining is leading to extreme and fast over loads. We will share more on this upgrade later once things are settled! The best thing you can do is to stop trying to join the online portion until we get an .exe fix out. This is currently in production and expected soon.
