Hi, I preorderd the game with steam, and I have been having a blast playing the incomplete but already very fun early access version, but how do I access to the beta builds ?

Steam doesn't seems to register any beta version (and it seems that it would require some kind of code to access if it did), and I see reference to an updater but I cannot find it on my installation.

Are beta builds simply not available for those with steam early access ?

Thanks in advance.

Early access is effectively beta.

There was one Steam beta build that we used to test the achievements; it is not currently active.

We do testing with our own private build system, rather than on steam. I'm not sure whether that will change after release.

To get slightly more specific about it: we work by first pushing out rough patches to this small private server, which Steam users don't have access to. Once the patches are relatively stable, we push them out on Steam. Usually, Steam patches go out every week, and so the Steam version doesn't lag very far behind the private test build. But, with all the new things we're cramming in for the release deadline, we've skipped publishing a Steam patch for the last 2 weeks. So, right now, the private build is actually relatively far ahead of the Steam build. That's an atypical situation though -- and I suspect things will go 'back to normal' after the 19th.

Thank you for the precision, so I didn't miss anything as it is normal for steam users to not have access to those beta builds. :oops:

I will simply wait for the next steam patch then. :roll:

Is there a chance that we get a patch previewing the final (or close to final) state of the game before the official release or will the next patch be only for the official release on january 19th ? ;)

Thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

Right now, we're not planning on rolling out a Steam patch between now and the 19th; but there's a small chance this could change. (We'll post a news item on the Steam forums if there is going to be a final pre-release patch, of course.)

No problem, thank you for the reply.

Have a nice day. :D
