Open Beta is Open!

The release date of the full version of Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond (April 24) is getting closer every day and we've prepared something special for you.

Because we want the game to leave Early Access in as good and polished state as possible, we have just started an Open Beta of a version that contains most of the new content and features even before the full launch. We did our best to implement as much of our community's feedback as possible, but we would still like to know more, so that we can put final tweaks and polish on the game. We'll be closely monitoring any feedback and bug reports you post either here in the comments, in Steam Discussions or, preferably, on the Realpolitiks HQ Discord server; you can even contact the developers directly at contact@jujubee.pl - please don't be shy and share your thoughts with us!

This Open Beta will last until Monday, April 14. To access it, head to your Steam Library, right-click Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, left-click Properties, left-click Betas and from the drop-down menu select the option "Beta - public betatest in April". Your game will then update to the pre-final version. We can't wait to hear what you think!

If you come across any bug, when reporting it be sure to describe the problem in detail, and include your save file and log file, which you can find here: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Jujubee\RP3 (Simply archive all the contents of the folder and upload it to gdrive, wetransfer or any other file sharing service, and send us the link).

Thank you very much for your engagement, we wouldn't have been able to get this far without you! And thank you for taking part in our Early Access journey in general!

Happy Strategizing! The Jujubee Team
