These are patch notes for the newly "opened" Experimental Steam Branch. Experimental will operate as followed:
We have made new channels on Discord + Steam forums these channels are for users that like to live on the dangerous side of things and want to push feedback to us for upcoming patches. Whenever there is a patch it enters that experimental build for 1-2 days minimum if nothing fatal is found it will be pushed public.
The testing and feedback for Experimental is open to anyone to help based on their preferred engagement system Steam or Discord. This is an effort to help squash more bugs and hopefully our bug fixes that cause other issues can be caught and fixed within this time period.
Experimental will stay open at all times going forward.
How to Opt-in
Expect the first Step of the new Early game [Localized Infection Spawning] live on Experimental Wednesday-Thursday for feedback!
Patch Notes
(Click Show details for a full breakdown of the changes)
Show details
- Weapon Textures adjusted to scale better with lower VRAM cards
- New Weapon Mesh Dynamic loading system - we need users to test this and see if they encounter any issues relating to new crashes or oddities with the weapons. If this system works out we will push it further to reduce VRAM and overall RAM requirements across the board. Thus allowing a lot more computers of lower spec to play
New Versioning Number system
Show details
We are changing the way we do version numbers to simplify them going into the future. The one will represent a "release" version and the octet following it will the title update or major patch version we are on. 1.2.1 1 = Release version 2 = Title Update (Major Update) 1 = Minior Fix/bug fixes etcLetter from the Producer

New Roadmap system
We now have a new system for our community to follow along on development. This website will break down all the major systems that are coming each patch. It will not include hotfixes/bug fixes. Sections inside TBD can be included randomly if we are ahead of schedule
Trello and the old picture Roadmap system will be removed going into the future.
