Peak’s 0.65.a beta patch trims install size and smooths out a few rough spots

Peak’s beta branch got version 0.65.a on July 2, 2026, and this one is mostly about tightening things up before the update reaches the main game. Testers who want in can use the password playpeakbeta, then send bug reports to Beta Testing Reports or the Discord-adjacent channel.

The biggest changes are practical ones. The patch shrinks install size a bit, improves map seed randomization, changes when autosaves disappear, and fixes a handful of issues that affected late-joining players, mesh performance, and lava rivers inside the Kiln. It also restores TornadoHell and BombBeetle variants for beta testing only.

A previous beta build added Polish and Turkish translations, plus camera and quality-of-life tweaks, in Peak Beta Patch v0.10.c.

Patch Notes

General Notes

• Decreased patch install size slightly
• Improved randomization of map gen seeds
• Autosaves will now self-destruct AFTER a player successfully resumes the run, rather than when they start loading the map
• Fixed Magic Beanstalks not showing up for late-joining players
• Optimized a LOT of meshes (performance should be most improved in Roots)
• Fixed lava rivers never showing up inside the Kiln
• (Beta only for now) Re-instated TornadoHell and BombBeetle variants

Modder Notes

• Updated Unity project version to 6.3.15f1
• number of maps in build changed from 21 -> 42
• Raytrace shaders are now serialized into their respective fields in LightVolume
• Added LevelGeneration.Run console command (doing this during a run will probably just break your game, though)
• The BiomeResults inside MapBaker.selectedBiomes now includes a list of the selected variantName for each respective biome

The studio also wants testers to keep an eye on LOD pop-in, invisible level geometry, out-of-place assets, and lighting or shadow issues, especially in Alpine and Mesa.
