As you know, the Steel Division 2 1.3 update has been released (twice) and reverted (twice) earlier this week. We had to revert the update as it contained an unexpected bug that made the game crash when accessing Quick Match or Ranked games. We are very careful with our updates, and run extensive tests before releasing them, but unfortunately, bugs can still happen.
The concerned bug has been fixed now, and in order to make sure that the update now works properly on your computer, we are releasing it in beta version, on a separate branch of Steam.
