changedThe beta branch for Strife: The Expanse was released today. This will allow me (and you) to test various features and swap them over to live very easily once they are ready. In this case it is the Steam Leaderboard feature which is now up and ready to go!
changedHow to JoinTo enter into the beta branch simply go to the game in your library, right click and select properties. Go to the betas tab and change the drop down to "beta - Beta Testing". Due to how I've set up the backend with Steam's API if you choose not to opt in, your scores will be updated whenever the changes go live on the main branch. The beta currently is compatible with the default branch so you can still play with your friends. This may change however in the future.
changedSteam LeaderboardsOnce I feel confident that the changes I've made to the game are not going to cause any issues, I'll move the beta branch over to the main one.
changedOther Beta ChangesOptimized the stats menu. Previously it updated every time you opened it. Now it only does so when loading the main menu. -Fixed a niche bug where if you tried to join someone who was kicked from a match by their host disconnecting in the lobby, that you would be unable to play single-player or host a game until you tried a second time. Let me know if this fix causes any issues.

Steam Leaderboards
If you navigate to the achievements list you'll be able to access leaderboards and compare yourself versus your friends. The leaderboards currently are for all stats you see in the stats tab on your main menu. If you want to compare yourself against the world just visit the global achievements section and select global leaderboards at the top! I've obviously omitted myself from these leaderboards so it'll be as fair as possible!
