Dear Frontiers,

How have you been?
It’s been a while since the DUBIUM Closed Beta Test. Thank you for participating in the test.
We’ve been busy organizing and analyzing your feedback from the closed beta test. Your input on Discord has been precious to us and inspired our development. We sincerely appreciate your participation and valuable feedback.
Based on what we analyzed, we have been working on what to bring in 2022. During the First half of the year, we will reflect your opinions to DUBIUM to improve the game.

Firstly, we plan to have more chance(s)🥳 to meet you before the Early Access launch if everything goes well as planned. I can share more detailed plans in the coming weeks. Hopefully, with the news that you’ve been waiting for.

Hello, Frontiers,
Thank you so much for your support. I hope you guys are enjoying the beta test. We wanted to bring a better experience for you, Frontiers. So we did some maintenance in between based on your bug report, even though the beta test is only for a week. Not all the reports are reflected, but we fixed some critical ones.
I hope this helps you to have a pleasant and fun DUBIUM experience.

Thank you so much for your love!

Regards,
MUMO STUDIO

[h2]3. Known Issue[/h2]

Hello, Frontiers,

Thanks to your support, the Closed Beta Test is going well.
We've got many feedbacks and bug reports.
We already knew some of them and the others are very constructive and helpful to improve the gameplay.
If you missed it, 1) go dubium.com to register your email or 2)come to our discord to get a key!

[h2]Closed Beta Availability[/h2]
In order to provide the best possible first experience in DUBIUM, the CBT servers are limited to the following regions and time periods between December 17th and 23rd to allow the devs to monitor and address any issues that may arise:

• North America - 5 pm to 12 am CST
  Europe - 5 pm to 12 am CET
  Korea - 5 pm to 12 am KST

The start and end times may be adjusted a few hours earlier or later on certain days, but the times listed above are when the servers will for sure be available. Depending on the distance from the server locations, players may experience server delays or lag while playing. Players outside of the server regions are welcome to participate but should keep this potential issue in mind. Keep your group in the same region for optimal gameplay!

[h2]Known Bugs / Issues[/h2]

• Playing with people in a different region will result in laggy gameplay. For this initial beta test, try to keep your group in the same server region for optimal performance.
  
• The game launches into Steam VR by default but this should not affect gameplay. Just close the VR pop-up.
  
• Match-making delays(Not accounting for matchmaking in a party)
  - When you are playing by yourself, waiting for a match for too long(5mins or more) could be a bug. We recommend you cancel the match-making process and try it again to resolve it.
  
• Incidents of seeing party members of the previous game in a new party room you are invited to(Although they are not invited to)
  - Those members may show up like they are in the same party but they are actually not in the same party group. It is possible to ignore it and play the game.
  - Although it is not recommended(dev's perspective), restarting the game should resolve this issue.
  
• When staying in the lobby long enough(we don’t know how many minutes yet), your screen goes into indefinite loading mode. ⇒ We recommend you restart the game.
  

[h2]Beta Test FAQ[/h2]
Q. Can I still join the beta test?
A. Yes, invitation-only! People are still joining and asking for the game keys.
Therefore, if you need some beta test keys for DUBIUM, come to our official discord, https://discord.gg/ea2Tk7DCBX)

Q. I'm waiting too long. Don't you guys have enough player base?
A. If you are queuing alone in the lobby (1/5) for a long time, you might be stuck in the bug. We recommend you restart the game.

Q. I'm in but I have no clue what to do?
A. Thanks to @IHeartPie we've got an amazing guide video that explains the game pretty well. You can take a look here. [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Dear Frontiers,

Thank you for your interest in DUBIUM!

While we were doing a final polish of the beta build, we found a critical server issue that can affect the core gameplay of DUBIUM. The developers have tried fixing this issue in time for the original beta start date of December 15th, but as the deadline approached, we realized that it would require more time to fix the issues for the best beta gameplay experience. Unfortunately, this means we have made the difficult decision to delay the beta test by a couple of days. The closed beta test will now be starting on Dec. 17th and going through to Dec. 23rd.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. It is quite frustrating for an indie developer like us to deliver this sad news but please hang in there and wait just a little bit longer! We're confident you'll enjoy what DUBIUM has to offer. Thank you for your understanding and patience while we work hard to bring you a better version of DUBIUM so that you can enjoy the experience as intended.

Regards,
MUMO STUDIO
