I download the zip file from Google.
Unfortunately, with version 1.09. 1774 and also with 1776, no scenario is loaded anymore.
I have tested it on two computers running Windows 11 Pro (Core i9 9th Gen and Core i9 last Gen). When a scenario is to be loaded, CMO freezes.

Please, next time post the issue in a separate thread in the tech support forum.

That sounds like this issue, can you try the solutions given there?

No, unfortunately nothing has changed.
No scenario is loaded.

It works with version 1.08. 1728. (even without Temp)

IS this Beta Build (1776) going to be made available on Steam?

Yes.

Sorry, I should have made that a two-part question. When do you think it will become available on steam as part of the Beta branch?

We hope soon.

Thanks!

I'm just hoping for some kind of general status update for two reasons:

-Build 1776 was put up on Nov 25th, over two months ago (understanding the holiday break in late Dec./Early Jan).

- A new DLC was nominally announced as part of a Matrix Games live event, but there's been no status update on that since.

I'm not expecting solid update/release times, but I'd like simple status update.

We are sorry for the delay. We were planning to release B1776 as a public beta also on Steam, but we encountered a persistent problem that would make this a bad choice. For this reason, we abandoned that and are preparing an updated version.

I am a steam client but I use the matrix 1776 beta since it became available (simply replacing the command exe form the respective steam directory) with no problems whatsoever. Is it not common practice to do so?
