However, because it's a new beta version, you must back up your saved files to ensure you don't lose progress from your main progress. Once you've backed up your files, you can access the experimental branch to access gameplay changes and balances, key updates to militia squads,\u00a0sheep breeding,\u00a0barter and trading, and King's Tax and trade route costs. Here's how to get your hands on the new Manor Lords Update 0.7.965 experimental branch (and keep your save state safe). How to back up your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0save files To access and make a backup of your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0saved files on Steam, follow these steps: Press Windows and E. Into the search bar paste:\u00a0%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\ManorLords\\Saved\\SaveGames Right-click on the files and\u00a0select the copy option. Paste this copy of your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0saved files\u00a0somewhere you can easily find it. I typically create a folder on my Desktop labeled \"X Saved File Backup\" and paste the saved files in this folder because it's clearly labeled and easy to find. But you can paste this saved file wherever you like, as long as it's in a separate folder from the original saved file. You can access the experimental branch once you've successfully backed up your main progression save files. How to access Manor Lords' experimental branch To access the experimental branch, follow these steps: Open Steam\u00a0and\u00a0navigate to\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0in your Library. From the Settings, select\u00a0Properties. Head to the\u00a0Betas tab. Paste this password into the password area:\u00a0veryNiceBasket From the Beta Participation dropdown, select:\u00a0\"pre-release.\" Manor Lords\u00a0will then update. Restart Steam\u00a0and\u00a0launch\u00a0Manor Lords. Once you've done that, you can enter the experimental branch of\u00a0Manor Lords. Is the experimental branch available on all platforms? Unfortunately, the experimental branch for\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0is only on Steam, which means those playing on Xbox's PC Game Pass cannot join the experimental branch. So if you enjoy playing Manor Lords and want to try the new version 0.7.965 experimental branch, this is everything you need to know about how to save your files so you don't lose your main progress and access the beta.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Marketplace-range-in-Manor-Lords.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236799"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1236874,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799\/revisions\/1236874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1236799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

However, because it's a new beta version, you must back up your saved files to ensure you don't lose progress from your main progress. Once you've backed up your files, you can access the experimental branch to access gameplay changes and balances, key updates to militia squads,\u00a0sheep breeding,\u00a0barter and trading, and King's Tax and trade route costs. Here's how to get your hands on the new Manor Lords Update 0.7.965 experimental branch (and keep your save state safe). How to back up your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0save files To access and make a backup of your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0saved files on Steam, follow these steps: Press Windows and E. Into the search bar paste:\u00a0%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\ManorLords\\Saved\\SaveGames Right-click on the files and\u00a0select the copy option. Paste this copy of your\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0saved files\u00a0somewhere you can easily find it. I typically create a folder on my Desktop labeled \"X Saved File Backup\" and paste the saved files in this folder because it's clearly labeled and easy to find. But you can paste this saved file wherever you like, as long as it's in a separate folder from the original saved file. You can access the experimental branch once you've successfully backed up your main progression save files. How to access Manor Lords' experimental branch To access the experimental branch, follow these steps: Open Steam\u00a0and\u00a0navigate to\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0in your Library. From the Settings, select\u00a0Properties. Head to the\u00a0Betas tab. Paste this password into the password area:\u00a0veryNiceBasket From the Beta Participation dropdown, select:\u00a0\"pre-release.\" Manor Lords\u00a0will then update. Restart Steam\u00a0and\u00a0launch\u00a0Manor Lords. Once you've done that, you can enter the experimental branch of\u00a0Manor Lords. Is the experimental branch available on all platforms? Unfortunately, the experimental branch for\u00a0Manor Lords\u00a0is only on Steam, which means those playing on Xbox's PC Game Pass cannot join the experimental branch. So if you enjoy playing Manor Lords and want to try the new version 0.7.965 experimental branch, this is everything you need to know about how to save your files so you don't lose your main progress and access the beta.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Marketplace-range-in-Manor-Lords.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236799"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1236874,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236799\/revisions\/1236874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1236799"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1236799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
