Public Beta Branch

[Triassic Games]

Dear all, we have set up a beta branch you all can check out. I've attached a short HowTo how to access it.

We have an internal develop branch which will tend to break and is visible for our internal beta team only.

Then we have a public beta branch which is kind of our release candidates so it's often ahead of the public branch. If you're interested feel free to use it. You can always switch between the official branch and this beta one. There is no drawback doing so (beside the download) but you could help us a lot with testing features and fixes upfront .

How to switch to the beta branch in Sea Power:

Open Steam and enter your Library. Right click on Sea Power and select “Properties”.
In the pop up go to Betas.

You should see the “stable – Beta branch” and can switch to it. This will patch your game. This stable Beta branch is used as a release candidate for the public release. So any fixes will be there available and if you like to give it a try to check if things have improved or not on your end it would help us a lot!

Thank you!

      Carriers are still limited to either recovering OR launching, that is, no simultaneous launch and recovery is possible as this is the way all carriers operate IRL. We will soon introduce Alert 5 status for the bow cats to allow a 'launch on warning' ability even during recovery, though.
