We kindly ask anyone willing to help us test this update before it releases (especially modders and server owners), to minimize any potential problems with the update.

You will find instructions on how to use the upcoming update below.

Please note that this update will NOT backwards compatible with the current version of the game, so you may not be able to play on normal servers while on the "prerelease" branch.
After the update releases you will have to wait for server owners to update their servers before you can play on them.
