i just read the announcement, and it says "Please check out our Steam page to purchase the game". my question is; is the Nov 2022 Dev Update limited for Steam-players only? or does it apply to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate-players (such as myself) as well? because i'd LOVE to get them as well!

The beta for the next update is only playable on Steam. You can still play the Game Pass version, but you won't be able to test out the beta branch without the Steam version.

dang it! i now wonder when the beta branch will be available on the Game Pass ablobthinkingeyes

Probably soon after the public beta.

placid grail
#

so what im understanding of this, there's no updates for Game Pass users until thr 2nd or 3rd week of December. right? ablobthinkingeyes

sad but the wait shouldnt be too long unless this is the only game you can play (I mean gamepass offers a ton of others)

placid grail
#

i know that game pass offers a ton of other games. but it’s coral that has taken my interest, as it’s very similar to another game that i love to play, but that’s on steam ablobsad

SDV?

#

oh nvm

#

SDV is on gamepass

#

in another thread the mods noted that the beta will clear all progress after the update gets an official release tho

#

so imo its not worth it

placid grail
#

eek! so it's a complete restart then for us Game Pass users? but what about our saved game file(s)? is it not possible to recover them, after the beta release??

potent stump
#

the beta save data is separate

placid grail
#

nope? ablobthinkingeyes

potent stump
#

so that save data will be wiped

#

only the beta's

placid grail
#

GRAH! that's just made mattters worse! (imo at least...)

potent stump
#

not the EA release

placid grail
#

hmm? EA Release? so that (hopefully!) will mean, that the game will be at some point released to the EA Desktop App

potent stump
#

EA means Early Access btw

#

its confusing lol sorry

placid grail
#

oh! i was thinking the EA Desktop Launcher App for games lol

potent stump
#

nope

placid grail
#

yea i was lol

potent stump
#

sorry for confusing you lol

placid grail
#

"sorry NOT sorry" you mean? lmao

potent stump
#

lmao

#

so in essence I feel like buying the game would be a waste

#

for now

#

I'll keep my money for now ig

#

will definitely buy the game on full release tho

#

its really fun

placid grail
#

yea it is

#

wait a sec here...

#

is it the alpha or beta version who get the save files wiped? because ive made quite a good progress in the alpha, and if that gets wiped, us game pass players will be forced to a game restart. and i honestly am not a fan of that ablobsad

#

i do understand, that it's for the beta stuff and such. but still...

potent stump
#

only the beta saves gets wiped afaik

#

not gamepass

placid grail

oh phew! i got a teeny freakout here tbh
