Northwood sometimes publishes test builds of the SCP: Secret Laboratory dedicated server on Steam beta branches. Here's how to run one on your SCP: Secret Laboratory server.
Caution
Players can only join a server on the same game version as their game. A beta branch can be older or newer than the normal game, so most players can't join while you run one. Download a backup of your configs and plugins first. We officially only support the main, public branch of the game.
Changing Steam Beta Version

Your server switches to the branch when it restarts, even with Auto Update off. If the branch name or password is wrong, the console says so and your server starts on the version it already has.
| Branch | What it is |
|---|---|
