On Wednesday our team released a preview of the upcoming Version 1.4 update to our Community Test Environment. We would like to invite players to join us in-game to help gather specific feedback to improve the design and find bugs before final release. Our team will be creating ‘test servers’ via the community server browser during the following dates and times, and developers will be denoted by a green “DEV” tag on the scoreboard. We expect tests to last approximately 2 hours and access to the servers will be on a first come first serve basis.

When providing feedback please keep to the topic of the test and be as detailed as possible in your description. We will try to gather as much information as possible during the tests, however, may not be able to respond to every request. Written feedback on the forums is much easier for us to track and monitor, and so we ask for feedback to also be shared as a write up after including any relevant screenshots, videos, replication steps etc..

Additional information about the Community Test Environment and how to access it can be found here: https://steamproxy.net/app/581320/discussions/3/3491891042514558723/

Note: All times are Mountian Summer Time (Denver / Calgary)

We are aware some users are experiencing performance issues during today's play with the dev's session. We are aware of the issues and will be looking into the cause. If the issues persist please try moving to another server or game mode.

We regret it's not the optimal gameplay experience right now, however this is why we alpha test!!
