Day of Infamy is approaching our beta launch. Our objective is to include the first implementation of a complete feature set for the game. From there, we will iterate based on player feedback and get the game the best it can be for full launch early next year.
To help with beta testing, you must enable the beta branch of the game. To enable the beta branch, right-click on Day of Infamy in the Steam Library. Select Properties, then the Betas tab. Select 'beta' in the drop down. There is no code required, so leave that blank. Ensure your game downloads the update. If it is not updating, or you join the game and cannot find servers, try restarting Steam.
We have a number of new features in the beta branch that require testing. Also please note that some of the art is placeholder, especially in our new Profile sections.
