Players can register to participate in the stress test by filling out the form on the official website. "Share the stress test registration link to summon your friends and settle in for a crossplay campaign," Larian’s team encouraged.

The stress test will also monitor how supported mods interact with Patch 8’s new features, ensuring a seamless experience for modding enthusiasts. Participants will provide feedback via forms and designated Discord channels, contributing to the patch’s refinement ahead of its official release.
