Steam testing Instructions

If you have the Steam version of the game, you can also access the beta through our Open Beta channel on Steam.

You can access the build by right clicking on your game icon/entry in your Steam library;

• Click properties

• Go to Betas section

• Select the beta option from the dropdown list

• ‘Success! Beta unlocked’ - Opt into beta – Open Beta

The download should appear and/or begin automatically. If it doesn’t, verify your fileset and the update should appear.

It can also be a good idea to verify your fileset anyway, this ensures you have all the latest files.

Please report any issues on the forum, as well as the following form:

Thank you all for your time and feedback!

WOW!! What an Update!!!

And thanks for using the Steam beta feature, that way I should be able to easily revert to the current official build.

The tiny thing is the best part

How is it that big? Every single file in the game is changed? Then it is a new game!

Includes all the scenarios, database pics? I guess no, then it would be 20 Gb.

Whooohaaa, thank you!
This is someting
I'm downloading

Wow

Will study the changes now and download this weekend. Those changes will take some getting used too!

Thanks guys!!

Very cool. Looks amazing!

Tiny Tim goes big boom!

You guys are spoiling us with that one! The commercial version is not forgotten. I was about to go to sleep after
a long day, and now I'm all pumped up.
Many BIG goodies here and there. Hypersonic glide vehicle! RP Manager! Bathymetry layer! Intermittent Emissions! Palletized weapons! And that's for free! It feels like Christmas! Nonetheless, the "max targets illuminated". Thanks, guys

Re :

NEW FEATURE: Distinct mobile ground units. In addition to modelling mobile forces as “aimpoint facilities” (see: https://www.warfaresims.com/?p=1159 ), it is now possible to explicitly model individual vehicles with their own customized properties such as armor, propulsion, mounts, sensors etc.
The new-style ground units have unlocked certain brand-new capabilities, such as true amphibious vehicles (with distinct speed & fuel consumption properties overwater and on land).

1) Is this what the DataGroundUnit table is for?
2) Will the "legacy" units thus migrate from the DataMount table, or will the two coexist?

The two will coexist.

Oh wow, this is amazing! Thanks!

Just looking over the changelog, I think you could probably make a credible argument that, at least from the end user perspective, this update is bigger than the CMANO to CMO transition itself.

Awesome update! Thanks for the continued support guys!

If we go via Steam Closed Beta, can we go back to 1147.45 if we want to?

Yes, this works similar to the various Steam branches in e.g. DCS World.

I don't have my HGVs yet (still states only on pro version ) but the main program seems running well. thanks for tiny!

Fantastic!!!

Wow well done guys!

The increased granularity of ground vehicles have me excited. A step towards a better ground war simulation...

Also, CEZ concept is pretty cool. Again, perhaps a step towards a more dynamic weather model.

WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Been poking around all day, love it all, thanks!!

There was a problem in the relevant check, fixed for the next update release.

I was thinking the same. Thank you guys!

What an update ... a change log of 27 pages full of new features, QoL improvements, and fixes! Thank you (and all the testers) for the massive drive and effort to make this already amazing simulator even better.

Best regards, RPS

Very nice. Thx for all the hard work.
