Zeepkist News

edit: this is now resolved!



Annoying news!

Steam broke the authenticator in the build pipeline and now I can't publish new updates to the main Zeepkist branch anymore.

In simple words: I can't update the game at the moment!

This is really annoying because I need to push an update (v16p50) that fixes some broken physics.




I uploaded v16p50 to a Beta Branch, where you can still access it! It just takes a little bit of effort to get to it:

- Step 1:

Right click on Zeepkist in Steam, and go to Properties:


- Step 2:

Go to "Betas", and enter code V16HOTFIXBRANCH

[h3]V16HOTFIXBRANCH[/h3]


- Step 3:

Click this button:


- Step 4:

You should now be in the v16-hotfix branch!


- Step 5:

Close the settings menu and verify Zeepkist looks like this now:


- Step 6:

Play Zeepkist! Everything should work normally from here on out :)




The Steam authenticator has been broken for over 8 hours, which is very strange. I've sent Steam a support ticket asking if they could look into it.

In the meantime, we'll have to use the v16-hotfix branch!

I wish this didn't happen on the day I'm launching a free demo and a DLC but hey Steam moves in mysterious ways...

Happy Zeepkisting!!!
