Hello hunters!
We’re happy to inform you that we’re now opening up the beta version of 1v4 online multiplayer in Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition to anyone who has purchased the game and wants to help us!
We’ve been working hard on the 1v4 online multiplayer feature since we released the game on Steam, and we’ve made some amazing progress so far. However, as Christmas fast approaches we’re going to have less and less staff on hand to test new builds and roll out fixes for issues, which is why we’ve made the decision to open up a public beta over the holidays. This will give you all a chance to get your hands on the 1v4 multiplayer feature early, and also provide us with some valuable feedback for when we return in the new year.
We’re hoping that with all of you playing over the holidays, we’ll be able to come back in January to a comprehensive list of things that need fixing ahead of the final release for 1v4 online. We’ve set up a discussion on Steam where you can report your beta bugs, and we’ve also set up a new channel on our official Discord just for talking about the public beta.
If you don’t mind coming across issues and reporting them to us, you can jump on 1v4 now!
So, how do you get involved?
TO PLAY 1v4 ONLINE NOW:
- Right click Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition in Steam
- Go to Properties
- Click Betas
- Enter this code: furyofdracula
- Select ‘open-beta’
It’s worth noting that if you’re on the beta version of Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition then you’ll only be able to play online with people who are also using the beta version. If you want to play with friends who aren’t using the beta version, make sure you revert back to the original version by going into Properties, then Betas again and selecting NONE!
Also, trying to fix 4v1 multiplayer issues can be complicated and time consuming so if you do run into any major issues (such as the game getting out of synchronisation, stuck on a dialog or not being able to perform actions) then please ensure that you provide as much information as possible about the problem when reporting it to us, including the player logs from all players involved renamed to clearly highlight for which characters they are for. You can find the player log files here - C:\\Users\\(your username)\\ AppData \\ LocalLow \\ Nomad Games \\ Fury of Dracula
Although this involves a little effort on your part, it will help us enormously with cross referencing the events that led up to the issue. You can send us player logs via [email protected] or through our Discord! Just be sure to tell us that you’re on the beta version, so we can properly categorise issues.
And finally, from everyone here at Nomad Games, many thanks for your patience and support over the last year - we hope you all have a lovely time this holiday season!
