The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - ty


Welcome back to the Isaac Online BetaAlpha! We have some bug fixes and game improvements ready for you all!

As mentioned last time, this is a Beta Alpha, so not all planned features and game modes are available right now. We also STRONGLY RECOMMEND that all players participating in the Beta Alpha make backup copies of your save data files in a safe folder. For those who have made backups but lost their progress marks, the steps to get your back is at the end of this post.

DO NOT EMAIL ANY OTHER EMAIL ADDRESS. WE WON'T SEE THOSE REPORTS.
You can message me on twitter, but send bug ports to the email above with the subject above please

Include the version number in your subject line, in the exact format listed above. This is very important for us to filter and keep track of the most current issues. The version number can be found on the title screen, main menu, online menu, lobby screen and in-game pause menu. It's everywhere now :)

If you encounter a crash, your crash log files are extremely helpful for us to diagnose the issue. Here's where to find them.

ONLINE BETA OPT-IN



Are you ready for round 2? Here's how to start playing online:
Step 1: Have The Binding of Isaac: Repentance installed in your Steam Library
Step 2: right-click on the title in your library and select Properties
Step 3: go to the Betas tab and type the beta key [insert beta key] into the Private Betas box and click Check Code.
Step 4: Click the button that will appear that says "Opt in to [beta branch name]. You should then also see [beta branch name] in the Betas Participation box in that same tab.

Following this, your game should update, and the next time you launch it you should see "Online Beta" at the title screen, and the "Online" option at the main menu.
To return to the standard release version of Repentance, simply open the Betas tab again and set the Betas Participation tab to "None".

Be sure to use the new password: theyvegonetoplaid

Keep reading if you need help with other stuff! See you online XOXO.



Lost Completion Marks
Here are the steps that should help in restoring your missing Completion Marks, if this issue has affected you.
Step 1: Have your save file backups handy! Hopefully you heeded our advice in the Online Beta announcement post to make save file backups before joining the Beta, because without them, this method will not work.

Step 2: In your Steam library, right click on The Binding of Isaac and open the ‘Properties’ window

Step 3: On the ‘General’ Properties tab, click on the ‘Steam Cloud’ switch to temporarily disable the Steam Cloud function.

Step 4: Open the folder where your active Binding of Isaac save files are kept. Take the backup save file you want to use, and copy it into this folder. Rename this file “persistentgamedata1.dat” for it to take the place of your slot 1 save. For save slots 2 and 3, copy backup saves to this folder and rename them “persistentgamedata2.dat” and “persistentgamedata3.dat”, respectively.

Step 5: Next, launch the game. At the save file select screen, you should now see your backup save files restored, and when you go to the character select screen, you should see your Completion Marks restored as well.

Step 6: Close the game, then open the ‘Properties” window again, and click the Steam Cloud switch again to turn the Steam Cloud function back on.

Step 7: Launch the game again. Steam should notify you that the Steam Cloud files and local files do not match, and will prompt you to proceed with either the local files or the cloud files. Choose ‘local files’, and the backup saves you just copied will overwrite the Steam Cloud files.

From there, the game should again function normally, with your Completion Marks restored.



The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - ty


It is me, your amigo, Tyrone

Hello and welcome to the Binding of Isaac Online Beta!

The Nicalis team has been hard at work getting Online working for your favorite game. This beta program is for anyone who owns Repentance on Windows+Steam. This free update allows you to play the game in co-op multiplayer mode online, with friends and/or other players online.

I want to go over some details regarding the Online Beta here. This will be a longer post, but I'm hoping you make the time to read it as it will be useful for your experience.

SAVE BACKUPBefore you start, please keep in mind that this is a Beta, and not all features may be available right away. We also STRONGLY RECOMMEND that all players participating in the Beta make backup copies of your save data files in a safe folder, in the event of any bugs that could cause you to lose hard-earned progress.



BETA SCHEDULE
The team will continue to work towards a release candidate into the future. That said, the beta will generally be available two weeks out of each month and offline the other two weeks. The Nicalis team will work on fixes and improvements from feedback and bug reports during the Beta. So please send whatever you can find :)

A new opt-in password will be posted here or on my Twitter account, X, whatever you wan to call it, around the end of each month for the subsequent version. This cycle will repeat until we feel online mode is ready for its official release, near the end of 2024.

BUG REPORTING
This is VERY IMPORTANT and I can't stress how much we would love your help to make the online experience better for everyone.

Where to report bugs: http://a href="mailto:email@example.com">Send Email
Subject line: #IsaacOnlineBeta 1.9.1



The subject is very specific for filtering, to ensure it gets seen and properly flagged by the Nicalis development team.
- Do not add any spaces between words in the hashtag.
- Do not change any format of the subject line, such as removing the hashtag
- Do not create your own subject line

For example:

Yes: #IsaacOnlineBeta 1.9.1
NO: #Isaaac Online Beta1.9.1, #IsaacOnline Beta, #OnlineBeta, #BetaIsaac, I found a bug in Isaac

We need the exact string in quotes "#IsaacOnlineBeta 1.9.1" (without the quotes). The only thing that will change for your subject line with future updates will be the version number.

BUG DETAILS
OK, so your game crashed, desynced or something else—describe the issue as thoroughly as you can, and include the seed number if possible. Including links to videos or screenshots of your bug can also be very helpful to us. Please DO NOT attach large files as they'll get filtered and deleted.

As a reminder, this mode is in beta and bug encounters are expected, so we highly recommend making copies of your save data files in a safe backup folder. Details about this at the top of this post, in case you missed it

We know most of you are not professional testers and that's OK :) but the more info you can provide in your bug reports, the quicker we can fix bugs in online mode. Here are some example bug reports:

Great!:
game crashed on Caves 2 when picking up Breakfast item after beating the boss
boss was Peep
seed was XYZW-0123
3 players: Isaac, Azazel, and ???. Isaac and Azazel were in for entire match, ??? joined on Basement 2
happened immediately after pickup animation finished
log file and save data are attached

Good:
game crashed on Caves 2 when picking up an item
3 players: Isaac, Azazel, and ???
happened after the pickup animation finished

Bad:
game crashed

In these three examples, the last one "bad" is completely unusable as a bug report. We can't do anything to fix it without more details.

PLAYABLE MODES
For the initial beta release, Normal mode will be available to play in Online Beta mode. We plan to make more game modes available in 2024.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND UNLOCKS IN ONLINE
Achievements will still be available in Online Beta, with some caveats. Players who join a match already in progress will not earn achievements for that run. A special icon will appear to let you know that you will not receive achievements for the current run.

COMPLETION MARKS
Completion marks will be available in Online Beta, but these ones will not cross over with the ones that appear on your singleplayer character select screen. Online multiplayer will have its own separate collection of completion marks! Similar to achievements, players who join a match in progress will not earn completion marks for that run.

UI UPDATES
We've made UI and HUD changes for online. Several options have been added to the Options Menu to make this UI more customizable, including making the display HUD for your co-op partners' health meters and pocket items more compact, more minimal, or even hidden if you prefer.

VERSION COMPATIBILITY
The Online Beta is being developed for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance, and will not be available for past versions (Rebirth, Afterbirth, Afterbirth+) ever.

This update does not include new content such as additional new items, characters, etc.
However, the Online Multiplayer does have a few updated game mechanics to improve the fun of playing Isaac in co-op mode.


ONLINE BETA OPT-IN
With all that out of the way, how do you play?



Step 1: Have The Binding of Isaac: Repentance installed in your Steam Library
Step 2: right-click on the title in your library and select Properties
Step 3: go to the Betas tab and type the beta key into the Private Betas box and click Check Code.
Step 4: Click the button that will appear that says "Opt in to [beta branch name]. You should then also see [beta branch name] in the Betas Participation box in that same tab.



Following this, your game should update, and the next time you launch it you should see a prompt that you will have to read and accept, then you'll see "Online Beta" at the title screen, and the "Online" option at the main menu.
To return to the standard release version of Repentance, simply open the Betas tab again and set the Betas Participation tab to "None".

That's it! I think? Oh yes, you need the password don't you? combthedesert

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - ty
G-G-G-G-G-FUEL!
It's me, Tyrone; I've logged into the Steam backend to give you an update on, um, the 1.7.9 update.

Welcome to the long-time-coming Repentance update!

Below you'll find probably the single biggest update since its release! Highly recommend you scan through below to see what's been updated, changed and improved.

Some highlights include: C Section fetuses now only deal 75% damage every 10 frames Lil Dumpy now has a secondary, larger detection radius that can cause it to randomly trigger from nearby enemy projectiles.

Glowing Hourglass no cooldown, but can only be used three times per floor . Increased the cooldown of D10 to 2 (from 1). It now devolves enemies instead of replacing them randomly.

Cain's Other Eye now follows Isaac and copies all tear modifiers/stats, but shoots in random directions and has -25% reduced damage. Bum Friend can now give batteries/items from the Beggar pool. My favorite--The Black Bean now causes multiple farts in quick succession and leaves poisonous gas clouds

Added the following:
- C Section to the Ultra Secret room pool
- Mom's Ring to the Old Chest pool
- Epic Fetus to the treasure pool (at very low weight)
- Glowing Hourglass to the Greed mode treasure pool
- Ouija Board to the Greed mode devil pool
- Breath of Life to the Greed mode angel pool

Greed mode button won't deal damage in Lost form, some less useful items, trinkets and cards in Greed mode, such as The Moon, are fixed. Ultra Greed won't get stuck in his dash state forever when his movement is blocked by certain objects.

Buuuuuuuut! There's MORE!

By the time you read this, it'll be Friday November 4th 2022. Which means it's officially G-Fuel Day! The Repentance team has put together the sweetest piece of daily runs since, well, since that poop and fart themed one. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

So tons of amazing stuff below, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play today's daily seed, playable starting 3AM PST.

The guys really put in a lot of effort to make it A-mazing. Edmund is even considering naming his next child gfuel--we've also discussed renaming Vinh into Le Gfuel as well. Don't want to spoil, you need to play it. Have fun this weekend!
