FoE Beta workaround

If you play the game on Beta you know Inno Games absolutely shit the bed with the metadata change.  For PC players this game is unplayable without the FoE extension.

So we do have a fix for you.

Step 1: Go to official forums and discord and in every thread tell Inno not to ruin live servers with this garbage.  Be loud, be seen and don't let up.

Step 2: If you play FoE on Beta download a new browser.  Opera or Vivaldi work.

Step 3: Once the new browser is installed you have to install the beta version of foe helper here.

Step 4: extract/unzip the downloaded extension

Step 5: go to the "extensions" section of whatever browser you downloaded.  On that page probably near the top right side will be a slider called "developer mode".  Activate developer mode by sliding to the right or on position.

Step 6: On the top left or the top of the screen you will see "add unpacked extension".  Click that and go to where you unpacked from step 4.  

Your beta version of FoE helper is now installed.

Now why do we suggest downloading a new browser to do this?

The regular foe extension still works on live server.  That extension gets regular updates so use that as long as possible.

The newly downloaded extension for beta will not get updates.  You will have to redo this process (download and install) if you want an updated version.

You cannot run two versions of FoE helper on the same browser so it makes sense to just play beta on a new browser and if Inno Games ever pulls their head out of their ass you can go back to your regular browser and all this is temporary.

If you only play on Beta and don't care at all about live servers then still download a new browser.  Uninstalling FoE helper extension, then downloading the beta version may work but there may be remnants of the old helper that will screw  up your experience.  Just download the new browser and save yourself a lot of headaches.
