PUBLIC TEST BRANCH




StarRupture’s Early Access Update 1 is now available in a pre-release build on the Public Test Branch (PTB in short) on Steam.

The Public Test Branch contains a work-in-progress build that may contain some game-breaking bugs and errors. But it will let you jump in RIGHT NOW to the newest unreleased content, features, and mechanics, which you can playtest, enjoy, and share your feedback on.

[h3]How to Join the PTB (Public Test Branch)[/h3]

Accessing the PTB is straightforward:
  1. Open Steam and navigate to your Steam Library.
  2. Right-Click StarRupture and select "Properties" from the context menu.
  3. Select "Game Versions & Betas" Tab.
  4. Select “Public Test Branch”.
  5. Steam will automatically download the necessary update.

To switch back to the official default version of the game, simply click "Default Public Version" from the list of Game Versions.

There is no Dedicated Server available for the Public Test Branch.


[h3]Important Considerations[/h3]

We highly recommend manually backing up your data before switching to a PTB version of the game. To do so:
  • Open Steam and go to Steam Settings > Storage.
  • Next to the size of the installed files bar, click the three dots (•••) > Browse.
  • This will open the 'steamapps' folder in Windows File Explorer.
  • From there, click on 'Steam' in the address bar and look for a folder called userdata.
  • Inside userdata, you will see folders named after your Steam ID(s). If you have multiple Steam IDs, you can sort the folders by the most recently modified to find the one you've been using.
  • Once inside your Steam ID folder, look for a folder named 1631270 > remote > Saved > SaveGames.
  • Copy the entire folder and place it in a safe location: for example, your Desktop.

You can continue your gameplay from your previous standard build, but be aware that the save made on the Public Test Branch won’t be compatible with the standard build when the Update launches.

Content in the Public Test Branch is still under active development and may contain bugs, incomplete features, or placeholder assets.

The Public Test Branch will receive updates of unknown frequency.

While we strive for the game’s stability, the PTB may be less stable than the default version of the game.

Thank you for your participation and dedication to making StarRupture the best it can be!
