Hello everyone! We have created a separate scenario for the future development of all content whose changes usually require a new save game (new or changed POIs, playing fields, missions, etc.). The primary purpose of this is, as long as the playable content is still in development, to prevent your regular savegame from being changed, overwritten, or updated in such a way that you can no longer play missions or otherwise lose your progress. This will also prevent problems that are usually caused - intentionally or accidentally - by switching back and forth between the currently 'public' version and the in-development / experimental versions with your active, regular savegame. The DEFAULT RANDOM EXPERIMENTAL scenario, which you can select under “Scenarios” when creating a new game, currently contains the central test and development environment for the changes of this version update! Main menu > Singleplayer > Start Game > Scenarios > Default Random EXP When you start the DEFAULT RANDOM EXPERIMENTAL scenario, you will also receive hints and tips for testing, as well as information about what exactly is new and what you should pay attention to:: You can find the main feature changes and additions to the current version at any time in your PDA (F1) > READ FIRST tab by clicking on the CHANGELOG mission entry. For your feedback, please use this forum here OR directly our in-game feedback form, which you can find in the PDA (F1) > READ FIRST tab > SEND US YOUR FEEDBACK (‘Activate Tutorial’ at the bottom center when the mentioned mission is selected). If you want to read about the new features and discuss them right here in the forum, please check the other pinned [1.15] threads in this EXPERIMENTAL branch. The scenario is a focus test scenario! This means It ONLY contains contents that are actually new, changed and need to be tested. The regular (story) missions and events will NOT be available in the test scenario! Unfortunately, this may result in problems with dialogues of existing story NPCs and consoles, but these can be ignored) The approach using the DEFAULT RANDOM EXPERIMENTAL scenario is, of course, also a test in itself. So please let us know if you would like to continue using such a separate scenario as a testing ground and playground for future new missions, game content, and features. Looking forward to your feedback!
I really like this approach. It gives the game a location to look for stuff before it is released into the main/public domain.
I really like the idea. It helps for all the reasons you stated It also helps those players that have the game only in Epic store. So I hope you will keep it. The separation of saves with new content is a clear road for testing and development of custom scenarios and content. A nice implementation of a helpful feature. You have my
