Public Experimental Build for v0.8 Is Live

Public Experimental Build for v0.8 Is Now Live

We have something special to share with you today.

We are deploying a public experimental build featuring the upcoming v0.8 update, including the brand new Dynamic Trading system. Everyone who owns Plains of Pain can now switch to this experimental version and help us test what is coming next.

The experimental build is called experimental.

This is a big step for us, and your help means everything.

Important Before You Start

After switching to the experimental build, you must:

• Create a new world

• Create a new character

Existing worlds and characters are not compatible with the experimental version.

How to Switch to the Experimental Build

You can switch to the experimental version directly in Steam.

• Right click on Plains of Pain in your Steam Library

• Open Game Versions & Betas

• Select experimental

Once selected, Steam will update the game automatically.

Help Us Test Dynamic Trading

The experimental build allows you to experience Dynamic Trading before the official release. Traders now refresh and change their offers in real time, creating new strategies, routes, and decisions across the wasteland.

You can test the experimental version in:

• Singleplayer mode

• Online mode on official experimental servers

• Private online games with your friends

For private multiplayer games, all players simply need to have the experimental build selected. Once everyone is on the same version, you can jump in and test together.

New Official Experimental Test Servers

We have deployed two new official experimental servers dedicated to community testing.

• Private Official EU Experimental Test Server

• Private Official US Experimental Test Server

To enter either server, you will need the password: test08

These servers are meant for focused testing, feedback sharing, and playing together during the experimental phase.

Your Feedback Matters

This experimental phase is all about polishing. We want Dynamic Trading to feel right, fun, and balanced on release day. Your feedback, suggestions, and even criticism help us improve the system and catch things we might miss internally.

We would love to hear from you:

• What you like

• What feels wrong

• What could be better

We are reading everything.

Thank You

We care deeply about delivering a solid and exciting update. That is why we are opening this version early and letting you be part of the process.

Thank you for testing with us Thank you for helping us shape the game

And remember this is just the beginning
