I use the following procedure I created for Space Engineers, to manage multiple builds:

We will see to somehow integrate the old version of Hellion in the experimental build so that you can run both by choosing which one you want to play. And keep experimental build regularly updated.

Yes I know it's a pain to switch, we will think of a way how to make this easier for you guys. But having a separate installation trough steam is not an option since everyone will have the ability to access the experimental build. This way we have at least some control who can join and play it.

Installing the beta build now.
Would it be complicated to have a separate steam title for the beta?

That way we could have both the normal and the beta installed easily.
Just makes the life of the testers easier :)

I know that Pubg does it that way.
Feel free to correct me if I missed something :)

Best Regards
Me

Thanks for accepting me into the group, i am excited to test the experimental versions of the game and find some bugs!

I can't find the experimetal key to access the testing side.

hello there

is there a test server any where?

come and test with us ;)

I am sure you know by now that 0.2 just went live, can go straight to bug testing that.

Thanks @SadPandaa it's a shame I couldn't help out this time around but I'll be ready next time :D Looking forward to it!

Actually testing just finished last night, no worries though you will be in for next time.

I was away after being accepted due to personal family issues, any way I can get the links on how to get the testing files it seems a lot of links are "Removed" probably steam being dumb again. Or am I too late and all the testing is done? if so rip sorry I was unable to contribute to testing but thank you for accepting me anyway.

Only people approved by the devs can man, he can make a application though

oh, I accidentally created a post in unconfirmed bugs :(

to the devs, any particular bit you want me to test that might have changed since 0.1.13? Probably people will already be testing lots of stuff, but if there is any specific item you want me to stress let me know

Thanks for the invite, look forward to helping out anyway I can.

I am so sorry, have been out of the country and didn't see that I was accepted until literally just now - can't wait to get back and start testing!

Hey, very grateful to have been invited and plan on getting started very Soon {tm} but was halfway through a video thingy so need to finish that (don't want to publish vids of the test build).

pencil check, paper check, rubber check, PC check, keyboard check, monitor check, internet check, ok ready for the questionaire whichever way it arrives :)

Eveyone please read the General Information Thread via the Discussion Tab and post in correct Sections, Thankyou in advance.

Is there any chance that I could test the builds with my friend? He applied at the same time as me and I would love it if we could test this game together as we both love this game.

@craig, yes they have... You need a code to access the test build & download, you also need a code for the private test servers... Check the overview notes for full info

have they put out the code to go into the test builds?

ah thanks guys
