[h2]Hello Runners,
[/h2]
If you wish to test upcoming content before it releases, we’re glad to offer you a way to do it with our Steam’s “Public Beta Branch”. To access it, here is a quick tutorial.
Your feedback is warmly welcomed!

[h2]1. Backup your saves:[/h2]
A prerequisite before participating, we strongly recommend you to backup your game saves. A beta version means contents and saves may not be compatible with Live one. Hence, it is a good thing to backup stored saves to retrieve them once back to Live version and avoid any corruption after testing is completed.

To do this, you need to follow the following steps:

• Find your game save folder path that looks like “\Steam\userdata\\2477340”. For example it could be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\12345678910\2477340”.
  
• Copy “2477340” folder contents and safely store it (e.g: your local drive) as backup.
  
• Now, you can switch to the beta testing version.
  

[h2]2. Switch to the Public Beta Branch:[/h2]
From your Steam client:

• Go to your “Library”, right-click on Expeditions.
  
• Go to "Properties".

• Go to "Betas"
  
• Enter the following line code under "Private betas" to access the Public Beta Branch branch: IBackedUpMySaves
• Click "check code".
  
• Congrats! You have access to the Public Beta Branch.
  
• Close the window, your game will update automatically.

[h2]3. Switch back to the main branch:[/h2]
After beta testing is completed or you want to move back to Live version, from your Steam client:

• Go to your “Library”, right-click on Expeditions.
  
• Go to "Properties".

• Go to "Betas" and select “None” to disable access to Beta branch.
  

• The version of your game updates to the current Live version.
  
• Copy all files from the backup which you've done to the save folder “2477340” (see backup part).
  
• Have a nice game.
  

[h2]MISC[/h2]

• Steam ID64 can be retrieve following the URL: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2816-BE67-5B69-0FEC
  
• Save path uses “Steam ID3” nomenclature, if you wish to double-check, add your Steam ID and convert it using one of available Steam ID converters like https://steamid.io/. Your save folder number (= Steam ID3) will be after the second two dots, example: [U: 1:12345678910].
  

[h2]It's here 🛠️🚚[/h2]
