Patch #17 • V1033 Community Test
Patch #17 is now live on the Community Test beta branch!A lot of work has been done on AI using ladders and doors, but please bear with us because it's a work in progress and the ladders in particular are not quite there yet.Compound has received an optimization pass including foliage. Please keep in mind that the foliage may look off when anti-aliasing is disabled or set to FXAA. A fix is being worked on.❓ How to join the Community Test beta branchRight-click GROUND BRANCH in your Steam Library and select Properties…Click BETAS on the left-hand list menuSelect 'communitytest - Community testing branch' from the drop-down menu(no password required)Steam will begin downloading the files for the new testing branch.?
