A "leaked build" is when John and I grab the latest SVN build and package it up for you guys. It has a ton of known bugs, so don't worry if it doesn't work for you. It is not condoned by David and Aubrey but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly!

If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected]. We are testing out a new bug system.

*NOTE* Please remember that these are unofficial alphas and they do not represent a finished product. They are not even polished builds, just straight up raw development dumps not intended for public consumption.

For new users

• If you have not installed Overgrowth yet you can use the SUMLauncher to download it!
• If you already have Overgrowth installed you can use the SUMLauncher to update it to the latest alpha.
• The SUMLauncher also allows you to install the Menu Mod which gives you another 65+ maps to try.

For Existing SUMLauncher users

• If the menu files were changed in this alpha, the menu mod will no longer work. Updating the Menu Mod (to re-enable custom maps) might take us a little while. Once we have uploaded a new version you can use the menu mod installer to update it. (And don't worry, it won't break anything if you try running the installer before we upload the new files.)
• It may also take us a bit to update the Menu Mod to include any new maps that this alpha may have added.

For future updates keep an eye on our twitter @SUMOGUtilities!

great job with this game. I am always happy to start up a map and get in on some rabbit fighting action.

Looking forward to trying out that versus mode. Now I just need someone to play with

[StrandedBigMac]

Is it me, or are the AI getting harder? Not that it's a problem though.

I just kinda noticed when I was beating one of the lugaru challenges in 20 seconds, and now I can't even finish it without deaths. Maybe I'm just rusty

[avacado]

how do we enter 1v1 mode??

[Brachwah]

When will the game be compatible with Nvidia GeForce GTS video cards? I preordered the game a little over a week ago and I'm dying to actually be able to play it.

My video card : Nvidia GeForce GTS 250

Is it possible to get that 1v1 fighting set up going with just yourself and an AI opponent? You know, cause must of us don't exactly play splitscreen on a computer...

My Documents/Wolfire/Overgrowth/Data/Config.txt
Replace 'split_screen: true'
with 'split_screen: false'

No. The 1v1 camera is only for Player vs. Player.

Sweet! Now I need a friend over!

You may wish to check your drivers and DirectX installations, as not all cards are having trouble.

It says support for more than one controller but i tried hooking two controllers up and it only control player 1

[Bruce Campbell]

Is there a way to fight against an opponent IA in versus mode?

[Dr. Whoop]

Is there a way to enable the versus mode in any other maps?
