Hi Chefs!

If you've been struggling to matchmake when playing on Steam, we've set up a test branch for you to try out.

The 'public_test' branch should give you an improved online experience. We'll be running the test with this branch until October 18th, collecting player feedback along the way.

Please note: At present, this will not allow crossplay with Epic Games.

This is a really valuable test for us, as it allows us to get as many players as possible online to play and matchmake so that we can them implement a patch to the game to fix this issue for everyone!

How do I access this Public Test branch?

You'll need to 'opt in' to play on the test branch.

To do this, right-click the game in your Steam library...



On this menu, click 'Properties'



On this window, go to the 'BETAS' tab and choose 'public_test' from the 'Select beta you would like to opt into' dropdown menu and close the window.

Your game will then update in your Steam library and you should see 'public_test' next to the game name.

Collecting your feedback from this test branch is vital for us so we can look into fixing the matchmaking issue.

If you opt in to play this version and would like to help us by giving feedback and reporting issues etc, please email our team at help@team17support.com

** The public_test branch is now closed **

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped us by providing feedback!
