Zone Game #34
I am content with doing it myself.
I am more worried about the 50% of the newbies the previous ZGs had... and how much trouble they will have to get through to get beta.

It does take upwards of 4-5 clicks. I could see how that would chap your ass.

Actually, depending on where you live the problem isn't the clicking, it's the relatively large 5-10mb download every time you switch.
RT has members in Greece, Turkey, Israel, Slovakia, and all sorts of other places and not everyone has high speed internet.

Additionally switching from beta back to main release has to be done manually, at least for me. ASGS does not save backups either (or are not obviously told to the user).

BETA and regular Allegiance are able to run parallel, without overwriting any files.
The Escapist (Justin Emerson) @ Dec 21 2010, 02:33 PM:
The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
So change it on the regeditfuzzylunkin1 wrote:QUOTE (fuzzylunkin1 @ Aug 10 2010, 05:29 AM) The way it should be is the Beta (1.1) ExePath is set to a different folder than the regular (1.0) ExePath. But they are the same for some dumb reason.
Get a new folder created "Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance Beta" and make the Beta ExePath point to that in the Registry, easy peasy. I think I did that for the R4 Beta for myself which I kept on different hard disks.

Using another application to run the beta appears to be an issue for some people who find actually doing such things more difficult than using ASGS.
