We don’t want to impose the update, so if you wish to use it, switch the game branch on Steam. You will still be able to switch back to the older version and continue playing your existing game saves.

How to switch to the Update branch:

  1. Find DDS in your Steam Library;

  2. Right-click on the game’s title and select Properties, or find the Settings icon and click Properties;

  3. Open the Betas tab;

  4. In the Beta Participation dropdown menu, select controller_beta;

  5. Close the menu and update the game.

Before switching to the controller update beta branch, please back up your save files:

  1. Open AppData\\Local\\DrugDealerSimulator on your PC.

  2. Copy the entire Saved folder to a safe location.
