Hello explorers 👋 Welcome to our first major update! Just like with ITR1 major updates will undergo an open beta before going into full release. Below is an instruction on how to enter the beta if you’d like. And if you want to share feedback and bugs from the beta, please use the [url= https://steamcommunity.com/app/2307350/discussions/4/]Beta 0.11.0 sub forum[/url]. 💠 To access the beta go to Steam, Select Into the Radius 2 game, Manage>Properties>Betas> select “active-beta”. The beta has its own save folder [i](%Documents%/My Games/IntoTheRadius2)[/i] and the saves will be compatible with the live version, once 0.11.0 fully releases. You’ll need to copy your saves from the beta folder. 💠 Be sure to remove any installed mods before playing. Otherwise you might encounter issues due to incompatibility.
