| 5s | hey hello hi my name is snoot and if you |
| 8s | haven't heard the news update 6 is now |
| 10s | available on the experimental branch of |
| 13s | the game so yay yes uh good times we'll |
| 16s | be had by all so if you want to check |
| 18s | out update 6 and and you're curious |
| 20s | about what's in it what's what's |
| 22s | what are the cool things that we're |
| 23s | mating um please note that the |
| 25s | experimental branch of the game is our |
| 27s | like |
| 28s | testing branch not testing branch really |
| 29s | because it is public but experiment our |
| 31s | experimental branch is our branch where |
| 33s | we put the experimental builds of the |
| 34s | game and before we push it into early |
| 36s | access version and it's something you |
| 38s | have to opt into so it's not part of the |
| 40s | the main branch of the game |
| 42s | um |
| 43s | be wary that this version of the game is |
| 45s | a bit more buggy you know we just |
| 46s | released it this week yeah be careful be |
| 48s | careful where you go so if you want to |
| 51s | get access to the experiment branch of |
| 52s | the game uh all you need to do is on |
| 55s | steam you right click the game you hit |
| 56s | properties you go to the betas tab and |
| 59s | then there's a drop down list you can |
| 60s | opt into experimental click it there and |
| 62s | that will reinstall the game for you and |
| 65s | on the epics games launcher it should |
| 67s | just be its own game in the games list |
| 69s | so and that will install the game |
| 71s | along with the installation you have of |
| 74s | the regular game so good times good |
| 76s | times please note that if you are going |
| 79s | to opt in to experimental there's one |
| 81s | very important thing you need to do |
| 82s | before you do this and that is to |
| 85s | back up your damn save files |
| 92s | because of a couple reasons first of all |
| 94s | it's because of cloud sync cloud sync is |
| 97s | not to be 100 trusted |
| 99s | both on steam and epic i've talked to |
| 101s | many people that have just had like |
| 103s | cloud sync just completely either wipe |
| 105s | their their save directory or like |
| 108s | something else happening or some |
| 110s | confusing message popping up like hey do |
| 112s | you want to cloud sync and then people |
| 113s | accidentally overwrite |
| 115s | their save directory in many cases where |
| 117s | people reach out to me losing their save |
| 118s | files it's something related to cloud |
| 120s | sync and it's not something we can do |
| 122s | anything about all the save files that |
| 124s | you have are placed locally on your hard |
| 126s | drive so there's no way for us to access |
| 127s | them so you can't reach out to us |
| 129s | anything like that if you lose your save |
| 130s | file and it absolutely sucks for many |
| 133s | reasons like i've been in that situation |
| 135s | too where i've lost my save file for |
| 136s | other games and it just it's a it's a |
| 138s | horrible feeling so |
| 140s | please please make sure to up back up |
| 141s | your save files um actually kind of |
| 144s | regardless in one way if you have a huge |
| 146s | staple you have like 300 hours of |
| 148s | gameplay please make sure to back up |
| 149s | your save files please please please uh |
| 151s | for your own sake the other reason is |
| 153s | because of you cannot load any save |
| 157s | files that you've saved in experimental |
| 159s | in ea so if you do opt into experimental |
| 162s | you try it out and you're like ah it's |
| 163s | not for me you will not be able to load |
| 165s | that save file in your in the early |
| 167s | access branch you cannot load a save |
| 169s | file that is created in a newer version |
| 170s | of the game essentially you can load |
| 172s | save files made in older versions but |
| 173s | you can't load them in newer versions |
| 175s | essentially so that's the other reason |
| 177s | why it's really important to back up |
| 178s | your save files before you try out |
| 179s | experimental so the next hard pressing |
| 181s | question a lot of people have is like |
| 182s | okay so it's out on experimental when's |
| 184s | update seven no |
| 185s | well people ask that too because they're |
| 186s | but that's not what i actually |
| 188s | wanted to say uh no but the people ask |
| 191s | like when it's gonna be out on ea and |
| 193s | the the answer to that question is we |
| 195s | have no idea well we have some idea but |
| 198s | it we actually don't know because |
| 201s | up for a couple of reasons update six is |
| 204s | first and foremost not feature complete |
| 206s | so there's still a couple of things that |
| 208s | we want to work on for update six and we |
| 210s | don't know exactly how long that will |
| 211s | take um you know we usually do a round |
| 214s | where |
| 214s | we do a bunch of patches and bug fixes |
| 216s | to the game and then okay we're in that |
| 218s | face period and then we move it over to |
| 219s | early access but this time around we |
| 221s | haven't finished everything with update |
| 223s | 6. essentially there's still a bunch of |
| 224s | stuff that we want to tweak and fix with |
| 226s | update 6 and we won't be able to do that |
| 228s | in a short amount of time this time |
| 230s | around |
| 231s | because |
| 233s | age what i just said is a feature |
| 234s | complete the other thing is that we have |
| 237s | vacation period coming up in sweden so |
| 239s | in sweden it's kind of common that |
| 241s | around july august uh like everybody |
| 243s | goes on vacation uh we have loss that |
| 246s | essentially means that you're entitled |
| 248s | to 25 days of annual leave in a complete |
| 252s | like what's the word like in one in one |
| 254s | go if you want to um but but but it's |
| 257s | not because of like the law that we're |
| 259s | saying like oh everyone has to go |
| 260s | vacation like we want like we want |
| 262s | people to go on vacation essentially |
| 263s | like i think people at coffee stain are |
| 265s | entitled to some vacation time |
| 268s | and it just so happens that that |
| 270s | vacation period is around july august we |
| 273s | originally we've like postponed updates |
| 275s | because of this if we can't release an |
| 277s | update ahead of vacation period then we |
| 280s | won't do it essentially but this time |
| 282s | around we felt like we kind of want to |
| 284s | get it out of the way because otherwise |
| 285s | we'll just keep stalling and then the |
| 287s | game will never be finished essentially |
| 288s | so so this time around we just said okay |
| 290s | whatever we'll release an experimental |
| 292s | we're gonna patch it uh and make it as |
| 294s | stable as we possibly can before we go |
| 296s | on vacation leave so like even on |
| 298s | experimental maybe it'll be good enough |
| 300s | but yeah just know if you want to play |
| 301s | on a stable version of episode 6 it |
| 303s | probably won't be until later uh for a |
| 305s | couple months before you can actually |
| 308s | see it on the early access branch of the |
| 310s | game unfortunately so what happens now |
| 312s | you may ask well person on the internet |
| 315s | watching this youtube video |
| 317s | i'm glad you asked because i'm about to |
| 319s | explain that to you so we are currently |
| 321s | working on fixing bugs and fixing issues |
| 324s | uh if you have played on the |
| 326s | experimental ranch you may or may not |
| 328s | know that it's there's a couple of bugs |
| 330s | in in the game right now and we kind of |
| 332s | knew that we when we were going into |
| 334s | this because we are kind of releasing |
| 335s | the update a bit earlier than we usually |
| 337s | do |
| 338s | when we're working on these things but |
| 339s | uh yeah we're working on bug fixes uh |
| 341s | our first and foremost priority is to |
| 343s | fix crashes that people are having um if |
| 346s | you are having issues with the game |
| 348s | where the game is crashing or anything |
| 350s | like that the only thing you really need |
| 351s | to do is to hit the like send crash |
| 353s | report button thingy and we will be |
| 355s | notified of like all the major crashes |
| 357s | are happening and then we go through |
| 359s | like prioritize like okay which one is |
| 361s | happening the most it's this one then |
| 362s | we'll fix that and go through those if |
| 364s | you're playing with mods please note |
| 366s | that |
| 366s | a lot of mods seem to cause crashes and |
| 369s | there's nothing we can do about that so |
| 371s | the only thing that you can |
| 373s | if you have mods installed is to like |
| 375s | try and uninstall the mods and see if |
| 376s | you're still getting the crash and if |
| 378s | you do get the crash then hit that |
| 379s | button and then we'll be notified |
| 381s | and uh check in with the mod creators if |
| 384s | they're aware of on any crash related |
| 386s | issues and see if they can fix it but |
| 388s | but yeah like if you're running into |
| 389s | crashes with |
| 391s | most and you have mods installed it's |
| 393s | probably because of mods honestly apart |
| 395s | from the crash issues uh that people are |
| 397s | running into we're also looking into |
| 398s | fixing the major bug issues that people |
| 400s | are running into uh i'm kind of hesitant |
| 402s | to like tell you what we're looking |
| 404s | working on right now because at the |
| 405s | point where this video is coming out we |
| 406s | probably |
| 407s | already have fixed a bunch of this stuff |
| 409s | so i'm not quite sure when this video |
| 411s | comes out |
| 413s | you know what's happened but uh we are |
| 415s | looking into a bunch of stuff uh i just |
| 417s | want to mention quickly that it appears |
| 418s | that dedicated servers seems to been the |
| 421s | ones that are taking the the biggest hit |
| 423s | in this update so when you're reporting |
| 425s | issues please very like specify if |
| 428s | you're running into any issues on |
| 429s | dedicated servers or if this is a single |
| 431s | player or multiplayer session or |
| 432s | whatever if you're playing a client or |
| 433s | host |
| 434s | yada yada et cetera like give us as much |
| 436s | information you can really when you're |
| 438s | bug reporting because |
| 440s | the more information you can give us the |
| 442s | faster we can fix them essentially so so |
| 445s | plea please be as detailed as possible |
| 447s | but i just yeah |
| 448s | quickly say that like if you're playing |
| 450s | on dedicated servers it appears that |
| 451s | they're |
| 452s | a little more buggy than the regular |
| 454s | version essentially so just be aware of |
| 456s | that and on the topic of bug reporting |
| 458s | right the very very best way to notify |
| 461s | us of any issues with the game is to go |
| 463s | to our qa site |

| 467s | us know there like this is the this is |
