'83 - Weekend Technical Test Live NOW!
[p]The ‘83 Weekend Technical Test is live now until Sunday, December 21st 18:00 GMT. [/p][p]Download it by navigating to our Steam Store Page and click "Request Acess". [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]What do I need to know about this stress test? [/h2][p]This test is primarily intended to get solid data on server performance under load, and find areas of optimizations and improvements to ensure that once we reach Early Access the performance will be in as good a place as possible. [/p][p]This test is limited in scope, and we will only accept as many testers as required to get the server performance data we need. So, if you have requested access and don’t hear back, please keep an eye out for future opportunities closer to release in 2026. [/p][p][/p][h2]I have bug reports or feedback I want to provide to the dev team, what’s the best place to do this? [/h2][p]We’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts, and the best place to do so is to head over to [/p][p]https://discord.gg/83thegame and post in the feedback and bug reports threads respectively. [/p][p][/p][h2]I’m a content creator/streamer - can I create content or stream this game live? [/h2][p]Since the technical test is still very much a WIP, we ask that you do not make any recordings or streams of the technical test. There will be more opportunities for content creators closer to launch, and if you’re interested, make sure to join our Discord and reach out to our developer team directly. [/p][p][/p][h2]I participated in the Steam NextFest demo - what are the improvements since then?[/h2][p]The team has been hard at work incorporating new features, improvements and fleshing out systems based on both our internal development roadmap and the feedback we received both during NextFest and through our closed playtests. Some highlights include:[/p]
- [p]Graphical improvements and the implementation of DLSS - still a WIP.[/p]
- [p]You now stay in the server between map changes, and are no longer kicked back to the main menu.[/p]
- [p]An early iteration of vehicles and tanks - this is probably the most WIP aspect of the game currently and while functional they are by no means final.[/p]
- [p]Extensive map improvements and overhauls, featuring a total of 3 unique maps with 3 variants each between the two distinct game modes: Frontlines & Assault. This includes a change to the Fjord map to now take place during daytime.[/p]
- [p]WIP limited destructability (I.E. a tank can crush sandbags and fences), a feature which will be expanded on in the future.[/p]
- [p]And a bunch more improvements touching every aspect of the game...[/p]
