<@&735186992618274816> Hey early birds, welcome to the shiny new Discord. You'll notice a slowmode on the text channels which we'll ease up as the dust settles. We'll also be rolling out new channels as we progress. There may be a delay on your react role sticking as we're putting the bot under a bit of duress atm. If your role isn't assigned after some time, you can message Dodo mail and ask a mod to manually assign the roles you'd like.
<@&735186992618274816> You should be able to assign your roles with no problem now, DM @wet bolt if it still doesn't work, I'll continue to manually add them. Please wait a bit after pressing the reaction might take a few seconds 😉
#role-assignment is working correctly now. Enjoy!

We have identified the issue and are testing a fix. If all goes well, we'll be looking to redeploy the Xbox/Win10 Official Network in approximately 1 hour

There is an on-going outage on the Official Network that appears to be a regional Cloudflare issue mentioned here:
https://downdetector.com/status/cloudflare/
We expect this to resolve soon without an update and will work towards improved protection in a future update if this were to happen again.
<@&735186992618274816>
Update from Cloudflare - Cloudflare has identified the root cause as related to a database replication issue due to a configuration error. It was not related to any outside event or traffic. We are working on fully restoring the database cluster. In the interim, we have restored functionality to most services with replicas but users will see increased latency and intermittent issues in the dashboard that in most cases will be addressed with retry. We will provide another update in 60 minutes.
Updated Update from Cloudflare: Monitoring - Monitoring - Some of our database replicas has been restored and are back in service, more will be restored imminently. Service should be restored back to normal levels, and we are continuing to monitor our systems to ensure a smooth recovery. Some products like SSL will have a backlog of certificates to deploy to the edge before we will consider this incident resolved. Nov 2, 21:27 UTC
The issue with Cloudflare seems to be resolved. Please restart your game. We'll continue to monitor.
<@&735186992618274816>
<@&735187083957633025> The fix for the structure placement crash is in certification at the moment. Once the patch has completed certification with Microsoft, it'll be released for you to be able to download. Don't really have a timeframe on it but it's set to go live ASAP. We understand it's frustrating and appreciate ya hangin' in there 
<@&735187083957633025> The update for Win10 should have gone live a little while ago, if you haven't got the patch please make sure to search for updates in your Microsoft/Windows store.
Hey Survivors!
Our analytic ankys are conducting some research on various game modes! They've created a short 5-minute survey to gather some information. Do you think you could give them a hand?

<@&735187109551407125> We're aware of reports about being unable to connect to servers at the moment. We are investigating, but it does appear that Sony/PlayStation seem to be experiencing some issues. You can follow their status page here: https://status.playstation.com/en-GB/
<@&735187057231790152> Redeploying with previous version due to critical issue
<@&735187057231790152> If you are on an official server, we recommend not trying to create a new tribe in the meantime. More information to come!
<@&735187057231790152> If you transferred between the two most recent PC deployments and find yourself no longer in your tribe, please transfer again and you should regain your tribe. I do recommend waiting until after the NEXT deployment that we will be doing in approximately 15 - 20 minutes to avoid the possibility of being unlucky and transferring once the deployment starts.

Get ready, our 24-hour Extra Life stream is approaching on November 7th at 10AM PST. Were anxious to beat or prior year record of $112,206.35 and see what good we can do for the kids through gaming and giving. Well be coming to you live from our Seattle Studio to bring 24 hour...
We will be continuing the Fear Evolved rates until the Extra Life event starts at 10 am PT. We'll then use the Extra Life rates based on the current donation milestones. In doing this, we're avoiding a "rate downtime" for our players, that said, please note that the Hex Rewards rate increase will not work until the TLC update is out.
The TLC update is scheduled to go live at 10am PT. I I suggest you hold off on throwing out your masses of eggs for breedfest 2020 until you have the patch downloaded and you're back in-game safe and sound ❤️

Alrighty, we've identified the issue. Stand by for a server update to resolve the problem. Cheers for the patience, folks 
Alrighty, the fixed server has been set live now for unofficial servers (.19).

Win10 is published and should appear for players within the next 30 minutes
<@&735186992618274816> Regarding imprint timers, we've just checked on PC, Xbox, and PS4 and they are indeed working. Unfortunately if you had an imprint prior to the timers going active/rate change, you'll have to wait for that one to be 'complete', and the next timer you receive will be reduced. So any ones that are podded with long timers will have to go through them (but after that they'll be short).
We're aware some servers are experiencing issues that affect server stability etc (it's more common when we have heavily increased rates for Extra Life). Our engineers are continuing to address these issues as they're able.
Thank you for your donations and support as we near 150k raised for the Extra Life Miracle Network! We've passed all of previous records by a long shot thanks to the community and we're humbled to able to help sick children through your support <3
We will determine how long the extension of rates will be once we see where the final rates sit and we monitor server performance.
<@&735186992618274816>
📣 We'll be extending the bonus rates for an additional 8 hours after the stream ends. That means we'll return back to our standard rates at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern. Thank you for the tremendous support during our Extra life event!
<@&735186992618274816>
It's basically 11 hours and 40 minutes from now
We'd like to extend our sincere gratitude towards our amazing community in helping us raise over 180k to help sick children in need!
Let's get into a recap of the event and our Genesis Part 2 reveals before the Noglin latches onto our brains
We have decided to extend the event at 2x rates through to Tuesday 12 PM Pacific/3 PM Eastern. Higher rates than this result in a distinct increase in server performance issues and we'd like everyone to be able to participate!

Hey folks, do see the pings regarding the disconnection issue affecting Player Dedicated & Non-Dedicated servers. The team have been working on it and we have a fix in flight. It does however require a client side update which means it'll need to be pushed through certification, so it should hopefully be in your hands early next week.
Hey Team. Apologies for pinging everyone (not really tho)
One of our awesome Admins @robust wagon had this commissioned by the extremely talented @terse parrot gifting us all with the equally horrifying and majestic high definition Poglin. Haha I'm dying!

<@&735187057231790152> Alrighty, fixed client is now live/available to download. You'll have to restart your steam clients to get the update, EGS didn't have the issue. It's a small patch, about 50mbs.

Mac/Linux players, we are looking into reports of not being able to connect to some of the maps since the latest update. It'll be a while on a fix though, at the earliest around 10 hours but possibly longer depending on what we find. We'll update you when a fix has been set live 
and also investigating reports that unofficial servers cannot be seen on <@&735187109551407125> and <@&735187083957633025> 
Alrighty, looks like they're starting to come back online now. We've contacted hosts to let em know they should update as soon as possible due to it being a major version, so hopefully you guys on unofficial will start to see your servers soon (I can already see some coming back for PS4

<@&735187083957633025> Looking into reports related to players disconnecting from servers since the latest update 
<@&735187083957633025> We're still investigating the server timeout that occurs approximately every 30 - 45 minutes on our Official Network, it's likely to need a client side update when it is resolved (which means cert etc), but we'll keep you posted if there's an update to come sooner.
And we're also investigating a bug related to the session filter getting stuck when looking at Player Dedicated or Non-Dedicated sessions. A temporary work around for now is to disconnect your internet when stuck on this menu (either via unplugging your ethernet, or disconnecting the wifi), that should allow you to flip the filter back to normal.
<@&735187057231790152> Also looking into these disconnects occurring on PC too

- Intermittent disconnects that started last night on <@&735187057231790152> and <@&735187109551407125>. We recommend relaunching your clients again if you're experiencing it, no patch or updating should be necessary. If you're still experiencing frequent disconnects on these two platforms specifically on officials, please file an outage report for our team to investigate (#server-reports )
- If you are experiencing a perma-disconnect on your Unofficial Servers in the Genesis Lunar biome on <@&735187083957633025>, please make sure your Unofficial server is running the latest update (v804.9 #735188555810340964). Note that you may need to wipe wild creatures, which you can do so with the following command: cheat destroywilddinos
Ongoing:
- Still looking into an issue where players would disconnect specifically on <@&735187083957633025> approximately every 45 minutes, as well as the session list getting stuck.
- And aye, we are looking into the new Turkey Trial event colours not showing up on all colour regions for wild creatures
<@&735186992618274816>
<@&735187109551407125> Looking into the 51 player cap reports
Fix rolling out for the PS4 cap issue now
<@&735187083957633025> We've submitted a client patch to Microsoft's certification to fix the disconnection issue. The patch will be released as soon as it passes certification. Fingers crossed for Monday/Tuesday tho will this will depend how long it takes to cert.
<@&735187083957633025> There's a patch coming up at 8PM Pacific to fix the disconnection issues you may be having.
🦃 As a gesture towards those of our players who experienced disconnection issues during the Turkey Trials, we will be extending the event until the 10th of December.
This is a disconnection ASCII Turkey.

<@&735187083957633025> We'll be redeploying the Xbox Official Network in approximately 10 minutes to fix this unable to connect issue
(What happened context: we had to update some backend stuff today relating to Xbox Live/Microsoft but didn't have a precise moment when it would occur. Unfortunately updating too soon would mean you wouldn't have been able to connect either, so we had to wait until the new stuff was live to be able to push our server update out too. We've been able to confirm on a few specific servers (with quick restarts) that the new tech is live, so we're pushing out a full deployment now. Once it seems stable on our end, we'll get it out to Nitrado too so they can make sure Unofficials have the upgrade on their end.)
ya guys clowning me but you seen these stats?

Deployment is happening now, so ya should be able to connect once the servers are back online.
We'll be monitorin tho 
Deployment is complete, you should be able to reconnect to the Xbox servers now.
Love Evolved kicks off today. Deployments for PC will begin at 1PST. Consoles will likely be 8PST. Rates should go live for all platforms at 1PST.
I'll let you know if there any updates to that timing!

(and displaying the correct values for melee/movement stat & mating cooldown not being saved)
PSA: If youre seeing all your dinos as spayed since the latest PC update, you should throw them out and re-pod them and that should update the tooltip. Also make sure the server you're on is running .17 as well as your client

<@&735186992618274816> We're about to deploy our NA Networks in 10 minutes on all platforms which should resolve the transfer issues with those servers, then we'll be resolving the individual cases that have appeared with some EU servers.
No patching/updating required, it'll be a deployment so shouldn't be too long until they're back online.

<@&735186992618274816> We'll be redeploying our NA servers across the 3 platforms to address the transfer issues in approximately 15 minutes. A patch will not be necessary so the update should be generally quick. We'll then be taking a look at servers in other regions which are experiencing issues and fixing those up case by case (won't require a region deployment for those).

<@&735187083957633025> <@&735187109551407125> We are aware of a client crash occurring when looking at the cryopod craftable in crafting stations, it can be avoided in the interim by disabling tooltips when highlighting over those craftables. Looking to get it resolved asap (in addition to the randomly-appearing (not common) crazy mating cooldowns which can be cleared by uploading/downloading the creature).
Hey console gang, I told you that the flyer speed changes for unofficial along with the skiff balance changes would be included in the next major version update (which went live yesterday).
There were technical issues with the flyer speed changes and we decided it was safest to revert until we're confident it wont cause issues. Working on a solution. As for the skiff balance changes, well, we just missed that at merge time (we've been very busy
) and we'll make sure it's merged in with the Easter patch.
<@&735187083957633025> <@&735187109551407125>
Quick LiveOps Update:
- Cryopod crashes on console will require an update. We're planning on having this resolved in the Easter update for Xbox next week and possibly sooner for PlayStation
- The team is working on a fix for the crazy mating cooldown timers, if all goes well we plan to deploy that before the weekend. In the meantime, you can upload your creatures and download them (not in their cryopods) to reset the timers.

Eggcellent Adventure is still live on all platforms...
Hey <@&735186992618274816>, we just wanted to give you an update on the situation with the server crashes.
We've been able to identify a possible fix, and our team has been working on it over the past few days. It is currently in the process of being put through its paces by our QA team. So far, their tests have shown that this build is stable, and we've resolved the crash, so we're ready to move onto the next stage.
The next stage of this process will involve a slow-roll out of this build where we will update a few servers on PC that are experiencing a high volume of this crash. The reason for this cautious approach is because this crash is related to saved data, and to fix it, we've had to make some changes to how we store specific data on large save files. Due to the technical complexity, we want to make sure we're cautious, especially as it involves saved data.
Once the update has rolled out to a few servers, we'll let it sit for a while and monitor the effects and results. We'll better understand whether this has resolved the issue entirely and whether it has introduced any unforeseen side effects. Assuming all goes well and we confident with the patch, we'll plan for a network-wide rollout.
We appreciate the patience and understanding everyone has shown while we're dealing with this frustrating issue. Our goal is to have a fix out as soon as possible on all platforms. We'll keep you posted when we have more updates.
Cheers!

Hello <@&735186992618274816>
Latest update on the server-save crash situation. We're had the fix running on an assortment of servers across the weekend and our results show that this crash has been completely resolved, none of our cases had failed. We're now going to begin the process of rolling out the fix across our entire PC network and continue to monitor for any side effects.
Console users, the fix for your server is currently going through our QA process at the moment, if it continues to show good signs, we'll be setting it live tomorrow. We may again decide to do a small number of servers initially (for a few hours) and then roll it out fully.
Thanks for hangin' in there folks 
<@&735187057231790152> Alrighty guys, we're going to deploy the network again in approximately 15 minutes, there was a config issue in the last deployment. Fortunately, the patch has already been downloaded on the servers, so this will just be a quick restart 🙂

Eggcellent Adventures has been extended until Monday, April 19th due to issues that caused some servers to crash on save. This, unfortunately, affected your ability to fully enjoy the event.
The issue was resolved on PC and the console patch has now passed all our QA checks after running overnight on a small batch of servers. The team is working to deploy the fix network wide shortly. We will continue to monitor the situation for the duration of the event.

There's been an update to the rule-set for the upcoming Conquest season based off community feedback. The rule below has been removed for the upcoming season.

Over the last few hours, some certificates were updated which may have affected your ability to connect to Official or Unofficial servers. The good news is, the new certificates have been rolling out to your consoles/computers via Micrsoft's backend so you'll be able to reconnect shortly.
For those of you unable to connect, you can try shutting down your application, and turning off your console (or restarting your computer) for about 10 seconds, then rebooting the console (or computer) and launching the app again.
The certificate update is being pushed out through Microsoft's systems so if you've tried the above and it hasn't worked for you yet, give it a little while and try again as I expect some people will get the new certificates quicker than others (it's kinda like getting a patch, though you won't really notice an "update"). A restart/reboot of your hardware should help flush it and allow ya to receive the new certificates quicker.
Win10 folks could also try opening the "Microsoft Store" and seeing if they have any downloads and updates available for any apps.
Make sure you're fully shutting down the app too, not just putting it on standby. It might take you a few attempts of this, but eventually you should be able to connect. (Could also try a full powerdown on console by shutting it down, unplugging for 10-20 seconds, then plugging it back in and rebooting to launch the game).
<@&735187083957633025>
We'll be deploying a patch shortly on PC which will re-enable TEK Sprint and TEK Punch on both game modes, and tomorrow's console patch will also re-enable TEK Punch (sprint is currently still enabled on those platforms)
<@&735186992618274816>
Lot of questions about stuff so I'll just write some general notes here:
- Constantly addressing stability (be on the look out for both server and client patches).
- Addressing mesh holes & false-positive anti-mesh deletions/dismounts.
- HEX Store on GEN2 is intended to sell engram points only in GEN2. HEX Rewards are intended to be reduced on GEN1.
- Hunt Missions on console: These won't work on SP/Non Dedicated Mode but we're looking into the possibility of supporting them on the server
- We will be patching Aberration to allow some GEN2 Creatures
- We are investigating an issue with resources not respawning properly on the asteroid field
- We are still continuing to investigate bugs that have emerged since the launch and deal with them as soon as possible. (Missing maewing babies, unable to get explorer notes)
I'll just edit this comment when there's more stuff that comes up. You can see a lot of our already made changes on #patch-notes which will of course be making it to console in the near future.

We're looking into the crash affecting some servers on <@&735187083957633025> and <@&735187109551407125> since the latest patch went out. We'll be accordingly delaying the PC update until we've resolved this case.
<@&735186992618274816>
Alrighty, we've identified and resolved the crash. We'll be redeploying <@&735187083957633025> and <@&735187109551407125> as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience folks

Community Crunch 272: Plushie Giveaway Winners, EVO Event, and More!
<@&735186992618274816>
The entire team has been having a blast and enjoying all the Genesis 2 content youve been sharing. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! As the team continues to iterate on some bugs from the latest launch, we wanted to take this time and talk about something weve seen across the minds ...
Brief update on <@&735187083957633025> and <@&735187109551407125>
~~We do have patches currently going through certification, they'll likely release some time early next week, this is an initial patch to improve stability, as well as address some major issues
- Fixes voice chat and text chat on Xbox
- Provides a temporary work around for not having enough missions to tame max level stryders or do the boss fight
- allows players to place C4
- client side crashes
- Tooltips on console when using KBM
We'll be looking at some more server side patches next week to bring in some of our more recent PC fixes~~, as well a client patch in the near future to bring everything up to sync.
We'll also be deploying some server side patches tonight/tomorrow on all 3 platforms (including <@&735187057231790152>) to address some crashes/improve stability.
We're going to have to hold back the deployment whilst we investigate some technical issues with the deployment process itself. No ETA so please carry on, I suspect this could take some hours so we'll just end up patching the servers later. Sorry for the inconvenience folks!

<@&735187109551407125> <@&735187057231790152>
New servers have gone live:
- NA/EU/OC PVE (All Platforms)
- Xbox EU/NA SmallTribes
PC players may need to restart your clients to be able to see the OC PVE servers
<@&735186992618274816>
<@&735187109551407125> <@&735187083957633025> Looking into these server start up crashes. We'll have to deploy these two networks again when fixed. Thanks for hangin' in there folks.
We've resolved this crash but as it's quite specific and affecting a handful of servers, we're just going to target those that need it. The tech team are also working on bringing up any servers that have been off since the deployment. <@&735186992618274816>
Looking into reports that players aren't able to see Xbox Servers/Win10 <@&735187083957633025>
Additional context on what's happened:
A patch went live a little earlier than intended, so we're now prepping our official servers to be updated to the latest version so that you can reconnect again (as well as get the latest server to Nitrado). We'll have this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
<@&735187083957633025> We're currently redeploying our official servers, you should see them start to come online shortly. If you do not, please make sure you've got the latest update by restarting your consoles or selecting check for updates in the Microsoft store.
An Update Concerning Genesis 2 R-Variants on Aberration
<@&735186992618274816>

<@&735186992618274816>
We are looking into reports about players being unable to transfer on some Official network servers. <@&735187057231790152>
We'll be redeploying those servers having transfer issues in approximately 15 minutes, once they come back online, transfers should work again. <@&735187057231790152>
The deployment will only affect those specific servers
We're also looking into reports of imprint rates not being increased, what we believe to be happening right now is that the mission bonuses are overriding our dynamic evolution events in some regards - obviously they shouldn't do that so the team is investigating.

Client update for this PC major version will be rolling out shortly, appreciate the patience folks 
Client should be live now so hopefully ya can see it in the next few minutes 🙂 (relogging on Steam could make it appear quicker for you versus waiting for it show up)
Hey folks. We're currently doing some performance analysis on NA-PVE-Official-GenTwo963.
If I could get some more bodies on that server, that would be much appreciated :).
The data we gather from this will go towards improving server performance across all platforms of course, this is just our test bed for now.
We're testing some changes right now, if we could get a few more bodies to log onto that <@&735187057231790152> server above, it'll help us out.
Thanks for the help folks! Identified some things and have fixed them. We'll be rolling out these changes across the networks. Still got more to look into tho but we're already seeing solid gains 🙂
We are investigating an issue that's currently affecting a number of servers on the XBOX Official Network.
<@&735187083957633025>

P.S If you aren't seeing the download button on Aberration for Genesis Part 2 creatures, that is because your Aberration DLC has not updated. You should restart your Steam or EGS applications to make sure you get that update. That will allow you to download the creatures. <@&735187057231790152>

We are investigating an issue with the latest Summer Bash update for PC players which may result in some servers not appearing.
<@&735187057231790152>
The issue causing some PC servers to not appear has been resolved. You may need to restart your client before seeing the servers appear!
<@&735187057231790152>
Console servers are deploying now (you may have already started downloading the client patch that popped a little while ago). You will see the servers come up from anywhere between 5 and 40 minutes on average dependent on server save file size and a few other factors.
Looking forward to you all jumping in to the Summer Bash!

It'll require another client patch but not a server restart, stay tuned folks 🙂

I'm seeing the same questions asked frequently so:
The Win10 Cryo issue is being worked on currently, it involves some time as it relates to a client-side crash rather than server. We don't have an ETA at present; it's going to depend on client compatibility with the build.
Beginner Servers were due to wipe today. This will now happen in the morning. It's our bad, apologies

Xbox Survivors,
We're going to be carrying out a maintenance on our Official Network, beginning in approximately 15 minutes. This maintenance will be accompanied with a major version patch, rolling out within the hour. We expect the maintenance to last approximately 1 - 2 hours, but we'll keep you posted should that change.
You should start to see some servers online now, if you don't see your server, stay tuned as it'll be online soon.
We're still working on getting the remaining Xbox Servers online. We appreciate your patience everyone and we'll let you know once all servers are back online.
We've completed the maintenance and we'll be continuing to monitor any reports as they come in. The Windows 10 patch has also released, so please open up your Microsoft Store on Windows and select Get Updates to download the patch.
Xbox Survivors:
A fix has been submitted to certification to deal with the ongoing listing exploit. In the meantime, our Official Xbox Network is redeploying with changes to the following:
- Player, item, and creature server transfers has been disabled
- Structure and Dino decay has been disabled
We thank you for you patience and apologize for the inconvenience caused. We expect to have the issue resolved so we can re-enable transfers soon

We're uploading a tiny patch right now which should resolve the issue. Shouldn't be much longer. 
Patch should be live on Steam, still uploading to EGS. Restart your steam clients to grab it. It's pretty small, so you might actually miss it downloading, if after restarting you don't get a patch, try launching the game.

<@&735187057231790152> Investigating reports related to Voidwyrm, Plant R, and Megachelon (and probably more things..) in the most recent update
<@&735187057231790152> We've identified the cause and are working on a patch right now to solve it. Based on the current timeline, we estimate that the earliest approximation for a patch will be in around 1.5 hours. We'll keep you posted if there any further updates.
<@&735187057231790152> We will be conducting a service wide rollback on PC with the upcoming patch to restore the content that was destroyed with this update. The rollback will be to the point prior to the last patch going out, which is approximately 17:20 Eastern, today (~50 minutes before this message). Also, transfers have been disabled to mitigate loss. We appreciate your patience folks 
<@&735187057231790152> We're currently in the process of testing the fix, making sure things are solid and that it's safe to release. If all goes well, we should hopefully be able to update the official servers (and do the rollback) in about an hour.
<@&735187057231790152> We've got one final thing to check (just waiting on a download..) and then if that clears, we'll be good to go. We'll also be enabling a 2x evo event for harvesting, taming, xp, breeding/imprints, and hexagon on all platforms. This PC deployment will not have notice, given the fact that it's a rollback, we'll just push it out as soon as it's ready.
and on the note of deployments, we're also planning to deploy <@&735187083957633025> and <@&735187109551407125> tonight, primarily to hotfix some exploits. It's still going through some final checks, and if those pass we'll be good to roll out. Current ETA is probably within the hour. We'll be giving our standard in-game deployment notice with that.
<@&735187057231790152> The rollback and deployment are happening now.
<@&735187057231790152> Hello, it me again.
We're going to deploying another update tonight, hopefully very shortly (in an hour or so -- will let you know if that changes). This is to fix a network incompatibility which cause client disconnects. Sorry for the crazy night folks, hopefully that'll be the last one (famous last words?).
P.S The stadia client crash related to the server session listing should be fixed now (doesn't require a patch, it's already live).
Going to be a wee while longer for that patch (it's finishing cookin', and then we'll have to test it). At least another hour, possibly more. Of course we'll still be doing our regular deployment announcement in game for this patch too.
Now things have calmed, if you missed it:

<@&735187057231790152> Hey guys, we've identified an issue with newly placed Dedicated Storage Boxes. We plan to hotfix this as soon as possible. Please do not place new ones down as you risk losing the items in side of them. This issue is only affecting newly (after the patch) placed dedicated storage boxes, old ones are good.
This was fixed in the patch that rolled out last night 🙂

We're currently investigating an issue with Valve/Steam where the Proton version of the game is unavailable by default for Linux players. We hope to have this resolved as soon as possible, you can still opt-into the native version of the Linux game by switching your ARK to use the beta branch: "linuxnative".
In order to make that switch, here's what you need to do:
- From your Steam games library, right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved and choose Properties.
- From this new window you’ll click on BETAS at the top.
- Here is where you’ll swap between the Linux native version and the live version of the game.
- Choose the beta called linuxnative from the drop down list and then close the Properties window once the window says it has successfully accessed the beta.
- Your Steam client will begin to download the Linux native version of the game.
