Where is beta version 9.601?

@OldCoach I think its sad that time goes by so fast. In my brief life I have experienced a lot, but it seems so far away. Even things that happened a year ago feels as if it happened long ago. And the most astounding thing of all to me is the fact that it is already 2021

@OldCoach Oh haha it's okay, at least you come from a time where people still respected each other

I feel dumb as a rock. When I opened SR-2 a few minutes ago, I saw in the upper right corner of the opening screen that I have version 9.601. Upon reading the notes, I realized that I can find the new planets in Planet Studio. Chalk that up to being 70 years old.

@017b Don't have anything called "crate" to load. I have two Juno system packages dated 2/15/2021.

@OldCoach If you open SR2, then you have a menu icon on the top left. Open the menu, select 'new game' and click on 'crate'. If you have the beta, it should load the new planet.
As for the library page, no I sadly can't see it

@017b Selecting "public beta" is what I have done. I'm not getting the new version, 9.601. Are you able to see my Library page on Steam?

@OldCoach okay I see what you're doing wrong: you mustn't select a version, but the public beta (just select public beta and close the box)

@017b I went to the Steam page and checked for updates. I got the response that says my steam client is up to date.

@OldCoach hmm, that's weird. Maybe you should update steam
I'll see if I can find the problem

@017b Thanks, I've done that. The latest build that comes down from there is 9.5.

@OldCoach yes
Okay so when you open steam itself and go to the simplerockets 2 section in your library, you should find a button in the shape of a gear on your right. If you click on it, you must select 'properties'. After that it opens a box that shows 5 options:
-GENERAL
-UPDATES
-LOCAL FILES
-BETAS
-CONTROLLER
select 'BETAS' and select the beta you want to opt into. Then select 'beta-public beta testing'
And thats that ;)

@017b Public Beta? Is that what I reference on my library Steam page?

@Insanity I appreciate your answering my post. Understand, you're dealing with a technology challenged 70 year old. I looked at the page you referenced, but I might as well been reading Chinese. I have no idea what to do on that page. How do I find beta version 9.601 on that site?

Its the public beta i talked about

This should be helpful.
