[VR Version] Help Us Test the Experimental Alpha 20 | April 26, 2017

[Jar]

Please discuss the VR version in this thread. Discuss desktop version here.

We’re getting closer to our release of Alpha 20, and now we need your help testing an experimental version!

This update adds all the new simulation features, improvements, and fixes which were implemented in the desktop version of the Alpha 19 updates. It also introduces the following VR-specific changes. Alpha 20 VR also marks the beginning of a unified Desktop/VR build, which will allow simulation improvements in the desktop version to be immediately available in the VR version as well.

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!

Is there a way to bring sims you created in the US2 desktop version into the VR version?

Thanks.

Yes, now there is! You should be able to see your saved sims (whether created in VR or desktop) in VR now, as of an update to the experimental version that we released yesterday.
