GOING MEDIEVAL EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH
We have created an opt-in Experimental Branch for Going Medieval, where you can play a build using our latest changes before they’re updated onto the main branch. Expect technical fixes, balance changes, and other minor changes and improvements on the Experimental Branch.
What is the Going Medieval Experimental Branch?
The Going Medieval Experimental Branch is a version of Going Medieval containing bug fixes and other work-in-progress things that we’re preparing to go into the main version of the game. We want to be especially sure our follow-up patches launch as problem-free as they can. Having enough players opting to play on our Experimental Branch will give us the confidence that our changes have been thoroughly tested before launching an official patch.
Why would I want to play on the Going Medieval Experimental Branch?
There is only two reasons you should play on the Going Medieval Experimental Branch – You don’t mind getting all the latest changes we’re working on, and are willing to help us test them by playing them ahead of when they go live on the main branch.
Can I use the saves from the main branch on this one?
You should be able to load normally your saves from the main branch and continue playing. If you have problems with that please let us know. You should not play saves from experimental branch on the main one as it can cause various bugs – please avoid doing this.
