Amber Isle changes
After a wonderful first PTE session in December, weāre back with even more updates, bugfixes, and improvements for you all to try out! Huge thank you to everyone that helped us improve Amber Isle by testing and submitting bug reports & feedback. We couldnāt have done it without you!
But! Thereās still more improvements to be made- thatās where you come in! š¦š«µ
When: February 5th - 18th (12pm GMT)
Playtest Focus Points
This playtest will focus on general bug fixing and game improvements. It can be split into 2 main areas:
- Testing our new fixesWith the help of everyoneās previous bug reports, weāve already identified and fixed a number of prevalent issues impacting players. Weād like some help stress-testing these fixes, which include improvements to autosaving, fixes for missing recipes, collision issues, and quest softlocks. The full changelog can be found on our Discord.
- Reporting all other bugs and issuesFor the next two weeks, weāre focusing all our efforts to fixing more bugs, improving gameplay, and making this new patch as impactful as possible. The more people we have testing every corner of the game, the more successful this will be!
The new character creator features will also be returning in this patch, so further testing and feedback on those would be very welcome!
How do I join the playtest?
Once the patch is live, the Beta branch can be accessed in Steam. You can access the Beta by following these steps:
