Is the Unity Beta backwards compatible with the standard FG?

[Shock]

I play with one group that is planning to try the Beta and one that isn't. I am really keen to get the beta installed but I'm afraid it is just going to overwrite my existing program. Are there seperate exe files? Can I have both versions or is UnityBeta backwards compatible?

Current version is steam demo upgraded to standard license

You should be fine if you're using the steam version of the classic FG. Unity isn't through steam and installs to a different directory. As well user files go in a different directory. Unity OTOH isn't backwards compatible with classic.

You can run bith Classic and Unity at exactly the same time. Both are completely different programs and both install to completely different locations by default so you can't possibly overwrite anything.

Also it doesn't matter if you run through Steam or not. The default install for Classic is the same whether you run through Steam or not.
