[h2]How do I access the Advanced branch?[/h2]

Our Advanced branch is where we push out patches for further testing before launching it to the entire playerbase. As we approach and solve more complicated issues and tweak integral features for balancing, we need time and testing to ensure our public build remains stable. Using the Advanced branch gives you the flexibility to try out these new changes while also giving us time to assess the impact of our new updates! Once we’re assured that the patch is working as intended, we’ll publish it to the public branch of the game, where it will be accessible for all of our players.

How to access the Advanced branch
If you’re interested in trying out these new changes, then you’ll need to switch over to the proper branch. Changing a branch is simple and easy!

1. Find “Per Aspera” in your Steam Library and access its properties by right clicking and selecting “Properties”.
   
2. Navigate to the “Betas” sub-menu.
   
3. In the drop-down menu, select the “Advanced” branch.
   
4. That’s it! Your game should begin downloading the new patch.
   

If you’d ever like to return to the Public branch, simple select “None” under the submenu and Steam will handle the rest!
