How do I get the game on steam?

I'm real lost


edit: nvm, im stupid

This really messed up a lot of the old mods - I just got the game a couple of days ago, and installed SUMlauncher - but most of the mods I install make the game crash

Any script mods require modders to update them. However they just shouldn't load...

If you have a specific mod problem to report you should report it on that mod's thread, or let us know what's going on. Just telling us "a lot of mods are causing crashes" leaves us wondering which specific mods you're talking about, and with no steps to reproduce the crashes on our end.

How would I increase the parameters of characters beyond the set limit with the new gui?
(movement speed: 10000) or (attack damage: 9000)

Might want to post on a new thread next time, cause other people have asked the same question, and it would be easier for them to search for if it was its own thread

CTRL + Click lets you set the parameters by typing in a number, and this lets you bypass the slider's limits.

Cheers!

I've had a recurring Problem with the Beta Builds (though it may be due to the jump to Sierra). Downloading takes significantly longer than it used to, and when I try to open it I gets stuck checking the verifying the creator and never opens.

This is probably an issue with your operating system or browser, because the beta downloads seem to work for me. Have you searched online for a solution to the issue?

After playing in the arena for about 40 minutes, the crowd sounds disappear. After that, the sound gets worse and worse, in that the sound effects get shorter and shorter. Seems like a memory leak.

Where is the link for the 64bit build of b2?

Linux build?

I'll add the link. If for some reason I somehow don't include it again, you can just modify the URL.

[djay]

Nice we have a linux64 build, I could'nt get the 32bit one to work
But it may take me 4-6 hours to download... (I only have a very weak connection.)
Could you (develloppers) consider using a torrent? Thanks.
