[QUOTE="Tarek Oberdieck, post: 281528, member: 5136"] This should help: There is a small work around if you don't feel like downloading 5gb of data each time you switch between beta and release. 1. Navigate to your steam games install folder, usually C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common 2. Make a copy of the Pinball FX3 folder, name it Pinball FX3 - Release 3. Go back into your steam settings and opt into the williams-beta. This will download the beta version of the game. So now you will have 2 folders, one being Pinball FX3(the beta), and the other of the release files (Pinball FX3 - Release), so then if you want to switch back to the release version of the game; 1. Rename the Pinball FX3 folder to Pinball FX3 - Beta, 2. and rename Pinball FX3 - Release to just Pinball FX3. 3. Then opt out of williams-beta within steam, it will verify the files but not re-download everything. Repeat the process each time you want to opt in/out of the beta.
