Want to change your Vintage Story server version or switch to a different release branch? This guide will walk you through the process on your Vintage Story server.
This is how you can play older versions, or play-test upcoming releases.
Make sure you back up your save before changing versions! Features from experimental pre-release versions are not expected to be supported on shared hosting as this is only a testing ground for the game developers. We officially only support the main, stable branch of the game.
