To access the beta please do the following:
Follow this guide http://ds.nordicgames.at/SteamBetaBranchGuide.jpg
Under Step 1 select "Nexus: The Jupiter Incident"
There is no password needed
The branch for Step 6 is named community
What we did:
-) Added German and Russian localization files (including audio)
-) Added DX9 runtime install
-) Improved the install script so that language changing and run as admin works
-) Extracted all the data from the nexus_00.dap and nexus_00.dat (more mod friendly)
-) Failed to find Steam should be gone.
We would like to do even more but unfortunately the source code seems lost and without that much more isnt really possible I am afraid.
Please let me know if you see any issues with this update.
