Hey guys,

We have a version that has a number of fixes, online-updates, and small optimization additions that is now live on the ‘Test Branch’ for Risk of Rain for Windows users on Steam. For anyone that is interested in helping us testing out this version and provide us with feedback on how the game is running, if there are any crashes, and overall how you feel about the version feel free to download it. You need to opt into ‘Beta Releases‘ through Steam.

Here is a link on how to do that: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Betas

The password for the Test Branch is ‘riskofraintest‘. Please shoot us an email at ‘spacegame2012@gmail.com’ if you find anything you need to report with as much information included as possible with the ‘v1.3.0’ tag in the subject of the email.

Note:

Some bugs that were reported for 1.2.8 couldn’t be recreated in 1.3.0 before fixes were attempted – they may have been fixed inadvertently, or they may still be there. If you encounter any errors/crashes, please try to remember what caused it! Error examples:http://pastebin.com/Pdx8PM79

Try to remember:

1.Were you the host (hosting) or the client (joining)?

2.What version of Windows are you on?

3.How many players total were there?

4.Did it happen at a specific instance, or randomly?
