Some people are experiencing weird graphics issues.
If you are able to sign in via ASGS without any "file signature" errors from ripiconbmp.mdl errors, please post in this thread: http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...showtopic=58688
I'll update this as soon as it comes back up.
AT&T fixed their issue. Sai displayed extraordinary patience with me while I asked for updates.
You should be able to play now.
Please update from ASGS again if you had the ripicon error and post in this thread if you still have it.
Join us WEDNESDAY 18 August 2010 to test the R6 client!
It's that time again! On Wednesday, August 18th 2010 we will be holding another regularly scheduled R6 test.
We need people to sign into the beta server and make sure that they can play. That means every one of you sitting in the main game.
For those of you that weren't able to sign in on previous weeks, the Development team needs details. We need your feedback.
Send me a PM with any errors you receive while attempting to beta on wednesday.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETA WEDNESDAY:
If you do not already have it installed, you will need to install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. You should also make sure you have the latest DirectX 9 Start with an up to date Allegiance install (make sure you can play on the regular servers).
In ASGS select "Allegiance -> Beta Mode".
Still in ASGS, select "Help -> Update / Repair Critical Files".
Click "Login". The updater will run again, downloading the beta client.
After the updater has finished, click "Login" again.
Enjoy the beta! Find or create a new game and test away!
When you are done, there are a couple steps to get back on the regular servers.
Turn off beta mode "Allegiance -> Beta Mode".
Revert to the regular client "Help -> Update / Repair Critical Files"
Play as normal!
Don't forget to submit your bugs! and feel free to check out the list of recently closed tickets on trac.

Send all feedback to my PM box.
PLEASE NOTE!
If you wish to beta test on days that are not Wednesday, you *MUST* use the installer at build.alleg.net.
As soon as Thursday hits, the beta server is auto-updated with the latest build and the above instructions involving ASGS will not work.
R6 Beta Wednesday -- Beta Lobby Currently UP!
Grrrr. Beta is currently down due to an AT&T problem, sorry guys. AT&T has been made aware (and there are also 4000 cable subscribers that are down too), so rest assured that this outage is receiving top priority. We are hoping it is simply someone in the middle of the wiring chain (this circuit runs for a couple hundred miles and through various cabling providers) has just accidentally changed a passthrough config . that's the quickest easiest fix. I'll post more as I find it out.
Still down and now good solid eta on repair. More info as I get it. Grrrr at AT&T.SaiSoma wrote:QUOTE (SaiSoma @ Aug 18 2010, 07:47 AM) Grrrr.

I get same error, ripiconbmp.mdl though I guess it's to do with the above problem.Freyja wrote:QUOTE (Freyja @ Aug 18 2010, 05:33 PM) ripicon mdl something or other is missing.
A beta would be nice that actually worked, 9/10 times this isn't the case and frustrates people.
Could the first post be modified too so people can see at a glance not too bother with beta atm? I'm with Freyja - if beta isn't working there shouldn't be a big message on the front page saying "go to beta!"

That's a very valid point.
I already broke one scroll wheel on this forum, noone else should suffer the same fate
Doing so now.
