Stress Test FAQ
We’re excited to have you all join us for our Stress Test weekend on Steam starting July 30th!
We want to ensure our servers can handle a large influx of players before Early Access, and that’s where you come in! While we’re tinkering around in the background, you can check out all of the new changes to Predecessor from July 30th - August 2nd. We’re excited to hear what you think, so please let us know what you loved, what could be improved, and everything in between.
Please Note - As this weekend is a Stress Test Weekend, you may experience intermittent connectivity. Rest assured we'll be working hard to address any issues that arise. Keep an eye on our socials for updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
