Beta update – 21 Nov, 2022 @ 18:55 UTC

Due to networking code changes, the beta branch is no longer able to communicate with the public default branch until the next update, coming in several months. We are expecting the next public release to be on April 20th, 2023, Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop’s 6th birthday.
