A new update for the testing branch for the upcoming OMENTUM update for Death Road to Canada! The focus of this update will be on events, with additional extra content and bugfixes on top of that.
Help us test it out! The more testers we get, the faster we can launch the update. Currently only on Windows, but we will add Linux and Mac closer to the end of the update beta testing process like we usually do.
TO ACCESS THE TESTING BRANCH:
Right Click "Death Road to Canada" in your Steam Library
Go to Properties
Click on the Betas tab on the left of the Properties window
Click on the dropdown in the top right, and change the Beta Participation branch from "None" to "beta - TESTBRANCH"
I will be making more of these beta posts when major new things are added, though for minor additions and things like bugfixes, I will likely just post quick news to the Official Discord in the #deathroad-test-branch channel. If you want to communicate with us directly or want every bit of testing branch news, head there!

Current List of Changes:
- 6 new events added! Currently 5 common events, and 1 camping event
- New functionality: Being able to get an extra "Always Be Looting" from an event!
- Lots of unused cyoa-images added to old events, including some that were prevented from showing up due to a bug
- Shorter version of zforecast, called zforecast-short, added to the Canada Crossing Event. This makes more room for the text after an image was added, and you didn't really need to know the time for the final event at that point, anyway
- Removed some extraneous duplicate image calls for several old events
- MODDERS/MYSELF: Extra comments added to old files so I don't forget basic things like "how do event card draws work
Previous Testing Branch Changes:
- Fix for an all-buddies-dead join crash
- Center the window after creation, to avoid some weirdness on older SDL versions
- Better dead loot/weapon text updates in trunk screen when driving or in mission
- Potential fix for character statmod icons/descriptions not displaying if mod ID over 31
