Patch Notes 0.13.20 (Test Branch)

Overview

LeiYun Games opened the official Steam test branch on July 17, 2026 with build 0.13.20-test. This is the seventh EA update — currently available only on the opt-in beta channel, not the default stable branch. The test line ships three optimizations and nineteen bug fixes gathered from community feedback after patches 0.13.14 through 0.13.19.

LeiYun invites players to help validate fixes before merging to stable. Test and stable builds share the same save folder — back up before switching. Full opt-in steps: Steam Test Branch Guide.

How to Access the Test Branch

1. Back up saves at %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/XiaMenLeiYun/Zaohua — mandatory before switching
2. Disable Steam Cloud for Destiny of Immortal (recommended during test play)
3. Steam Library → right-click Destiny of Immortal → Properties → Betas
4. Select test - 优先测试版 from the dropdown
5. Library name changes to 造化仙缘 [test] when active
6. Return to stable: select 默认公开版本 (default public build) in the same menu

Stable vs Test — What Players Should Know

Update (July 21, 2026): LeiYun merged 0.13.20 and 0.13.21 test content into the stable EA branch as 0.13.22. Stable players no longer need beta opt-in for those fixes. Test branch development continues — 0.13.23-test (July 23) adds inventory QoL features not yet on stable. See Patch Notes 0.13.22 and Patch Notes 0.13.23.

Test and stable builds share the same save folder — back up before switching branches. If you hit bugs on test, submit via the in-game feedback form (主菜单左下角问题意见) or the official QQ groups. Previous hotfix context: Patch Notes 0.13.19.
