Spleenling Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 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.

brian.tani Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No idea, I'm afraid. If I set the Beta to NONE it remains that way for me (though the files are identical for the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
