Hello to Chinese-speaking Barotrauma players!
It has recently come to our attention that typing in-game in Barotrauma has been inconvenient for Chinese versions for an extended time, with the candidate box to suggest Chinese characters not appearing as it should. We're very sorry for the the trouble and have prepared a fix to this issue, to be released in the next update.
While we are still developing the next update, you can already try this fix in the Unstable test version of Barotrauma. This allows you to get the fix early, and we will also work to accommodate your feedback in the public release. It would be very valuable for our development to get feedback from you, as we have no Chinese speakers in our development team, so we encourage all interested players to test the fix now!
How to get the Unstable beta
Opt into "unstable", a free beta version available to everyone who owns Barotrauma on Steam:
Head to your Steam Library and find Barotrauma in your list of games in the left sidebar.
Right-click Barotrauma and choose Properties.
Choose the "Betas" heading in the Properties window.
Select "unstable" from the topmost dropdown. This initiates the download of the beta.
When "unstable" is successfully opted into, the name of the beta is displayed in square brackets in Barotrauma's title in the left sidebar of your Steam Library.
To return to the regular game version, simply repeat these steps and choose ""none"" in the beta selection dropdown.
To give us feedback about Chinese typing, please write on the Unstable forums or our GitHub issue tracker. We hope this fix improves your experience with Barotrauma!
