How to Opt-In to "A New Reign Beta" for Don't Starve Together


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, as you know we’ve been working on A New Reign - there’s a lot of content that's being added into Don't Starve Together and we need your help in testing it to make sure that we didn’t break things on the live branch while adding content to multiplayer.
 
If you would like to jump into our testing branch, we would really appreciate you letting us know if anything is broken or missing.

A New Reign Beta Requirements:

  • You must own Don't Starve Together
  • The game must not be running when opting into the beta branch

How to access the A New Reign BETA Branch
 

Spoiler
  • In steam click on Library > Games.
  • Scroll down to Don't Starve Together.
  • Right-click, select Properties.
  • Go to the BETAS tab.
  • In the dropdown, select the "anewreignbeta" branch.
  • In that same properties window, go to the Local Files tab and press Verify Integrity Of Game Cache.
  • Your game will be updated to the beta version.
  • Run the game and go to Browse Games. You should see servers which are running the beta. Have fun!

Please note that when the game is on the main/release branch, A New Reign Beta servers show up as a dark orange colour in the server listing screen.

Yes, your older maps will stay stored in the save folders in DoNotStarveTogether while your A New Reign maps will remain saved in the DoNotStarveTogetherANewReignBeta folder :)

 

when the bata is over will it update the game to this new stuff?

Big don't Starve fan here, just wondered with the PS4 don't starve together announcement if there is any plans for xbox one DST?

We're not sure what's possible at the moment, but if we can, we'll let everyone know.

@V2C

Isn't it possible to release the first part of Beta to the main game now? I mean the part that is already in BETA for some weeks.

I really want the Map Sharing stuff in the main game (with mod Global Positions map will be shared automatically with friends).
But I don't want to play BETA, because of every new update brings some bugs (which is normal for BETA of course)... so can't you release the already tested and fixed things to main game? At least that map feature?
