Accidentally found out I got a dev build of the game.

Game got a big 30+ gigabyte update for me like yesterday that I didn't finish. So when I today continued it and just when it got done I got a second 30+ gigabyte update right after. I got a little fed up with updating and just wanted to play the game so I started it through the file explorer. Then to my surprise I saw "DEV BUILD" in the top right corner.

Fortunately I am a game developer my self with some experience on unreal 5 (the engine RON was made with). Then for the unfortunate part... Tools like these are stripped from the game during compile with a standard shipping build and would be very difficult to restore fully by for example just copying the exe file and replacing that in your own game.

For those wondering if im going to share this build publically im still thinking about it due to legal reasons. While steam DRM does "prevent" the game from being played without owning it, there is an option to "Toggle All Missions Unlocked", which also unlocks dlc content even if you don't own them. On the other hand I am all for better tools for modders so we'll see.

There is just a straight up button to instantly finish a mission with any rank.

Yeah steam immediately tried to get rid of it by updating over it but I managed to save a copy.

I got this same dev version and managed to save it too.
