We're back! We have a new update for you that we'd like to test on the beta branch before releasing it into the wide-open spaces of the prairie. So, without further ado:
How do I play on a beta branch?
- A quick guide:
- Prerequisite: You must have Wild West Dynasty in your library – of course.
- Open your games library. Right-click on Wild West Dynasty.
- Open the ‘Properties’ menu.
- Click on the ‘BETA’ tab.
- Use the drop-down menu and select ‘Public Staging Branch’. This is the beta version of the game.
- Click ‘Close’.
- Steam should now download this version of the game.
