Title: Gang Beasts
Post by: Liberator on July 30, 2016, 12:51:00 AM
Those of you that have been to the last few LAN's will probably have seen us playing "Gang Beasts" and laughing our respective gender specific functional bits off. Unfortunately it is a local only game which needs you to have up to 8 XBox controllers installed.

Well I had mine switched to the "Beta" program because there were a few crashes while we were playing.

My install just updated itself, so I fired it up and guess what, there is now an Online option in the game menu and active servers for Beta testing.

Seeing Lib win a match by hiding behind a doorway is the ultimate peak in this game, it won't be bettered.

It was the look on the last visible players face as they jumped into the grinder, just as I came waddling out with my hands in the air. :flirty:

See OP,

Go into properties, in the Betas tab select "Unstable" and you will get the latest Beta with net code.

At the moment there are only the servers they have started, but they will be releasing stand alone server code once they are finished testing.

Quote from: Steam forumsPrivate Servers

Support for hosting private servers will be released when the 0.4.0 build and server implementation has been tested and made stable in August.

They're on 0.44 now.

Nope, I suspect they actually might be trying to sell the VR version separate from the normal EA version. Shameful.
