We want to thank everyone who took the time to jump in, test things, and send us feedback. Even short reports helped, and some of you went the extra mile with detailed notes and repeated testing. It gave us a much clearer picture of what needed attention. To opt out of the beta, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to your Steam Library.
- Find Soldiers: Heroes of World War II.
- Right-click the game and select Properties.
- Go to the Betas tab, then set the Beta Participation to “None.”
With this patch, we’re a step closer to something you’ve been asking about in comments and posts for a long while: Steam achievements.
Work on the remaining pieces is already underway. Once they are ready, we’ll let you know! Join the Best Way Discord to stay in the loop.
Sincerely,
The Best Way Team
