Good Morning Survivalist,

We’ve just released Alpha 6.3 patch that has some great fixes and a few gameplay tuning changes that improve the game. If you’re still playing Alpha 5 and want to try Alpha 6.3 here’s how you do it.

<strong>Changes</strong>

  • 1. Open your steam client.
  • 2. Click on Games/View Games Library
  • 3. Right click ‘7 Days to Die’ and select properties
  • 4. From the new popup dialogue box select the ‘BETAS’ Tab
  • 5. Under ‘Select the beta you would like to opt into’ - select ‘alpha6 - Beta Testing’
  • 6. The game will then update and download Alpha 6
  • 7. Switching back to Alpha 5 is as easy as repeating steps 1-4 and on step 5 choose the option ‘None - Opt out of all Beta Programs’ and you’ll revert to Alpha 5 which will be re-downloaded and you can try Alpha 6 after it is improved.
