How to Install the Beta:
Shortly, you will receive an email from Oculus (FWD from Oculus <do_not_reply@mail.oculus.com>) with the subject: “Release Channel Offering from Forevr Games Inc on Oculus”. In this email you will be prompted to accept by clicking a link.
One you’ve accepted, you will need to change your game version from LIVE to test build using the Oculus app on your phone. To best explain how to switch between the LIVE (store) build and name of beta (beta) build, I’ve recorded a quick video:
Link to how to switch app version. Note: the app version text is clickable.
Steps to install the Beta build in text form:
- Tap on your face in the upper left corner of the screen to open the main menu
- Select My Library
- Select the ForeVR app you are testing
- Scroll down to find the Version Number
- Tap on the Version Number
- Tap on the Channel in the top right
- Select “name of beta” (this will be provided by ForeVR Bowl)
- Go back to your headset and update to the latest version.
To return to the live build, go back to the game’s channel menu in the Oculus app on your phone and select the LIVE channel:
- Tap on your face in the upper left corner of the screen to open the main menu
- Select My Library
- Select the ForeVR app you are testing
- Scroll down to find the Version Number
- Tap on the Version Number
- Tap on the Channel in the top right
- Select “LIVE"
- On your headset, uninstall the app.
- Double check the version number on your mobile app is set to LIVE. Then, reinstall from Oculus app store on device or using mobile app to install/launch.
Don’t worry, your data in the live game will not be affected by your play time in the beta as we use a sandbox environment.
