More detailed info
The beta server is currently running R5 Beta version 090721* linky beta server
The latest client is R5 Beta version 09.07.21** linky beta client
Updated (July 7th !!!) artwork files required for this version (ASGS should get them automatically) but here is the linky artwork files
Download the new client and replace the Allegiance.exe in your beta folder. DO NOT replace your regular Allegiance.exe***If the new client does not run you may need the VC9 dlls. Try running the client directly. If it complains it cannot find msvcp90.dll you can it (and msvcr90.dll) off the web or from the beta server linky VC9_dlls. Put them in the same folder as the beta allegiance.exeIf you have connected to the beta server before just launch ASGS (via Allegiance Online), goto to the Allegiance tab, check Beta Mode. Now login. Check the motd (message of the day). Check the version of your client <esc> menu. Make sure it is the version listed above.If you have not connected to the beta server before you will need to set up the beta registry keys. There are a few installers floating around. I will track them down or you can search for them in the forums.
*Please note R4 (and most earlier R5) clients will not connect (or if they connect to the lobby they won't connect to the server), neither will older versions of the server.
**You will need a version of the client that is the same or HIGHER version than the server.
***If you do not have a beta folder you can try Madpeople's beta switcher. If you mess up here you can fix things by using Update / Repair Critical Files under Help in ASGS. IF you were using the Alpha graphics client you will need to re-download it (or back it up and then copy it back into place). I recommend MAKING A COPY of your existing Allegiance.exe before trying beta mode. It will save you time when going back to 'regular' alleg, just copy it back into place.

Many of the issues listed and in many cases issues that are not listed will be resolved if you install your video card's latest drivers. Below are some common video card manufacturers' Web sites. Please note that some or all of the cards produced by a particular manufacturer may not be supported by Allegiance.
