Update Unity 5 Beta 4 Overall Improvements - Opt in now!
Author: Kimiko,
published 8 years ago,
This update is [b][i]only[/i][/b] for the Beta branch. We’re asking everyone to please opt in to the beta to try it out and test everything as much as possible. The next major patch v7.0 will make the switch from Unity 4 to 5, so we need everyone to play on the beta branch and let us know of any issues. We will no longer be making any changes to the Unity 4 build. Everyone can play together in multiplayer regardless of which build you use.
To opt in to the beta, right click on Tabletop Simulator in your Steam library, then click Properties. There will be a new “Betas” tab. At the drop down menu choose “beta - Unity 5”. If it asks for a code, you can ignore it, as you will get the download.
You can post any issues and bugs you find [url=http://www.berserk-games.com/forums/showthread.php?2059-Beta-Branch-Unity-5-Bug-Reports-amp-Issues]here[/url] or [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/286160/discussions/3/392183857628169903]here[/url] Be sure to read the Known Issues in the original thread before posting.
