Hello gents,
You can now download and get setup for the steam beta build, which is what we are using for the 8.0 Alpha test. There are a lot of things you need to know!
How to get the steam beta build:
https://github.com/DarklightGames/DarkestHour/wiki/Beta-TestNote: Please remember you have to opt out of beta to play normal DH again!!!
Resetting your controls:
Once you are in the 8.0 alpha, some controls have been added/changed and to make use of them you need to go into your controls and select a control profile (then set your controls how you want).
