Hi everyone! We have a beta rollout for Steam and Quest for updated networking system which only affects player-to-player connectivity when inside a gameplay level (not the hub). The goal with this one is to test the stability of it and we'd like to ask you to coordinate a time to log in en masse, and play as normal to see if nothing is out of the ordinary. (of course if you run into any bugs, please report them in the bug report channel (or in this thread) so we can get some visibility on them, alternatively on on our Discord server.

This build will:
- fix several bugs and exploits
- use your progress and persistence data, so even if you switch back to live, you shouldn't lose anything acquired in the beta environment
- be on a different network version, so you cannot matchmake with players/friends on the Live version.

Ideally, we'd like to co-ordinate a set time and date over the weekend for multiple players to log into this build to test out the new networking systems by playing together with each other. The more data we can gather from this the better it'll be tested and the sooner we can deploy the update (provided it doesn't introduce any new issues :) )

To access the beta on Steam
Under the Betas tab after right-clicking on After the Fall in your library, select "beta-test - beta test for patch 1.8.2". Steam will then automatically update your client and you'll be able to play on this new environment.

Again, the primary focus on this is server stability, so the more people we can get on board, the better the test! Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing your findings.

Stay frosty,
TamTu
