Recommendations before switching to the beta version:

Make a backup of your saves. Here’s how:
Press the Win + R keys, paste C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\1CGS\Deathless in the window that appears, and press Enter.
Copy the contents of the folder to another location.
When returning to the standard version of the game, replace the files with the saved ones.
Please disable cloud saves for the game (Steam Cloud). This can be done in the game properties, under the "General" tab.
How to join the open beta test:

Open Steam and right-click on "Deathless".
Select "Properties..." and go to the "Betas" tab.
Select the branch named public_beta from the dropdown menu.
Now you can choose this branch as the main one on your computer. You can play after updating the client.
If you find a bug, please send it along with the log to this thread (or via email).

How to get game logs:
Press the Win + R keys, paste C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\1CGS\Deathless in the window that appears, and press Enter.
In the opened folder, select all files and add them to a single archive. You can use the free program 7-Zip for this.
Upload the archive to any file-sharing service and send the link.
Or send it to [email protected] with a brief description of the issue.

Tomorrow we will hold a stream in which Elizaveta Dulepova, producer of Caliber, will play “Dethless” and answer your questions.
