Experimental mode


Recommended Posts

This probably shouldn't be here but, every time I restart steam I go back to using experimental builds. The opt-in to beta resets me to experimental.

I know this is a steam problem but I can't get steam support to work and using the steam forums is like gargling bleach.

Well, I didn't have any problem switching from experimental to stable back in the V20. It did require me to download part of the game files.

I've tested it now, and I was able to reproduce this, like so:

Open Steam Client, check library and see Xenonauts marked with [Experimental]

Go into properties -> Betas e select NONE.

See that Xenonauts is not marked with [Experimental]

Immediately close Steam by clicking the close button on the window.

I opened Steam again and saw that Xenonauts was marked with the [Experimental] tag.

I redid the steps above, but this time I close Steam through Steam -> Exit. And let it close gracefully.

This time upon relaunching it, Xenonauts was not marked with the [Experimetal] tag.

One observation, I'm using wineskin to have the Windows version of Steam on a Mac. And I use a symbolic link on the Xenonauts wineskin so that I launch whatever version I have downloaded from Steam with the same wineskin from Desura. However, I hope what I described solves your problem as well.

That fixed it

Thank You
