mr_centipede 31 Posted March 17, 2013 Can we have like how ARMA 2 handle its beta patch? Since it handle like a mod, it' easier to revert back to stable build. With steam style. if I want to revert back, I have to redownload everything that was replaced by the dev build. And it can be a long time depending on your connection. With ARMA2 style you just download once and you're good to go. If you want to revert, just disable the beta mod, and you're all set. But since it's on steam maybe there's some limitations, I just hope we can use the ARMA 2 style beta patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So for me this is really a non-issue... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted March 17, 2013 Why would someone want to roll back to an earlier build in an alpha test? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3lt 3 Posted March 17, 2013 Why would someone revert to an earlier build in an alpha test? Well majority of servers (actually like 80% of them) is still using Stable build, so i would guess people dont care much about actually testing the game, but rather play it as "demo" which is saddening..

Beagle 684 Posted March 17, 2013 If we had done so in A2 beta testing we would not have come that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3lt 3 Posted March 17, 2013 Earlier i have suggested to drop the "Stable" build and use "Development" branch as default one but it got burried. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrim 1 Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah, there's a reason we have the Dev build, and the Stable build, which being an Alpha, is only relatively stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
