SCP: Secret Laboratory has different game versions from private and public Steam beta branches. Users can access private betas by subscribing to SCP's Patreon or acquiring a Beta Branch Password. These betas are great for testing upcoming features, running older game versions, and more. Since beta's are experimental and potentially less safe, players utilizing beta branches may also wish to whitelist their server, restricting access to only trusted users.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Startup tab.

4. From the Beta Branch Name field, enter the desired Beta build.

5. For Private Betas, enter a password in the Beta Branch Password section.

6. Start the server.
