-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!
I'd like to thank pkk for giving me the final clue I needed to hunt down and shoot the configuration which was causing ASGS users problems with newgamescreen.mdl errors (information for players here if you find yourself still having trouble) and the 10 second delay on joining a game.
I've also gotten rid of the extra spam servers. There are now three games listed in the beta lobby instead of an umpteenjillion. CC_10 is available if you guys desire it, someone will just have to start a new game for it.
I'm sorry that I didn't get this up in time for some of you Euro players, I slept through my 2am alarm clock, so today's beta is a little later in coming than I had hoped.
As always, Thank you all for testing.
Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit.
