Steam Users: Kenshi opt-in experimental version

NOTE: Kenshi opt-in experimental version.
I'm sure you've all noticed that major updates to Kenshi are usually buggy as hell, then I patch them rapidly until they are more stable.

So to reduce the suffering of my loyal players I'm making a test build that you can get through steam by opting-in:
-Right-click on Kenshi in your Steam library and select "Properties"
-Go to the "BETAS" tab
-There is a dropdown box there- select "Experimental".

The "Experimental" build will get all the latest major updates right away. Use this if you don't mind experiencing more bugs and crashes in return for getting the updates faster, and/or if you want to help me by providing bug reports and feedback. Please report major problems when you find them, I don't want to miss anything bad.

Ignore all this and carry on with the regular build of Kenshi if you prefer the game to be more stable. The regular build will be updated once I am sure that all the major bugs are ironed out of the latest version, which may be a week or two after the experimental version is released.

All bug reports are to be posted here

Normal bug report forum is where all bug reports go now, including the experimental versions.

If you signed up for this please add your name.

Adds mine to the list.

Also,

Can we opt out at any time? Lets say one build becomes unplayable, can we chose to opt out after that?

just do the reverse and use the revalidate game cache files to restore to stored ( Non test version ) version on the steam servers.

Don't need to be in test mode to play with the turrets.
Regardless, there isn't an Experimental build yet. :P

Hello, where would be the best place to report bugs from the experimental version? These forums seem quite... devoid of posts :/

I have Several bugs id like to report, all of them repeatable on my end, i'd love to help out, so let me know how and what the best format would be to submit the reports, thanks.

I don't believe there is an Experimental version of Kenshi out yet, so just post your bugs in the Bug Reports forum board.

Ensure you use the Search function in the top-right to find posts that have already been made for any bugs you wish to post about.
A simple confirmation, with any additional information, that the issues occurs in your game will suffice if the post already exists.

Thanks! :)

Thanks, I was under the impression that 67.2 was in fact an experimental version... in any case off to go write my reports :)

Chris will let us know when a experimental version is released
and when we do bug reports just label it experimental version or what not.
