Understanding Snapshots
Snapshots are development builds released after each short development cycle, containing bug fixes and new features. These are early-stage versions of the game, not a finished product, so you should expect to encounter bugs, unintended issues, and incomplete features.
Prerequisites
Before installing a snapshot, make sure you have:
- Downloaded a snapshot file from the Download snapshots page
- Sufficient disk space to extract the game (minimum 10 GB recommended)
- Permission to run executable files on your computer
Installation Steps
Step 1: Extract the File
- Locate the snapshot file you downloaded (usually a .zip or .rar file)
- Choose a location on your computer to extract it (e.g.,
C:\Games\CSCDVMP) - Right-click the file → Extract All (or use extraction software)
- Wait for the extraction process to complete
Step 2: Launch the Game
- Open the extracted folder
- Find the cscdvmp.exe file
- Double-click to run the game
Step 3: Initial Setup
- The game will launch with the opening screen
- Configure graphics, audio, and control options to your preference
- Save your settings to continue
Managing Multiple Snapshots
If you want to play multiple snapshot versions:
- Extract each snapshot into separate folders
- Use clear naming (e.g.,
CSCDVMP-Snapshot5,CSCDVMP-Snapshot4) - Each version will store its save data independently
Reporting Issues
If you encounter bugs or problems:
- Report issues on Discord - International Players
