We’re getting closer to our release of Alpha 20, and now we need your help testing an experimental version!
As mentioned in our roadmap, Alpha 20 does not have as many obviously big changes as we had originally planned last year. But there have been major behind-the-scene changes. And for most of these, the best sign that we’ve done our job well is if you can’t tell much of a difference. But please know that these are important changes which have opened doors to future features, improvements, and optimizations that would have been impossible or difficult to implement otherwise.
There are currently known issues we’re working on fixing, and you will definitely run into more we don’t know about yet. We will try to maintain a list of known issues. If you see something new, please let us know!
To opt in to the experimental Alpha 20 version:
- Right-click on the game title in your Steam Library
- Click on ‘Properties’
- Select the ‘Betas’ tab
- Set the dropdown menu to 'experimental'
- Close the Properties window
- Steam will now update Universe Sandbox ² to the experimental version
- Once updated, launch Universe Sandbox ²
Thanks for testing and for your patience!
