After a half year of absence, FAZ Beta environment is back!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETA:

If you do not already have it installed, you will need to install the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.
You should also make sure, that you have the latest DirectX 9 installed. (Note: Even Win7 doesn't contain latest DirectX 9 files!)
Start with an up to date Allegiance install (latest file from regular Autoupdate).
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 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!

The current build contains a fix for he3 updates on minimap.

If you have a Saitek stick, which doesn't work in regular Allegiance client, feel free to test it on BETA.

holy cow!

Scouting will be important and low money settings preferred coming soon!
I decided to relive the days gone by in my new blog.

These bugs haven't been fixed yet because don't have any developers interested in fixing them up. --Tigereye

:lol:

I now can't use either the beta or normal because of this stupidity.

Frankly I knew I shouldn't have tried, as it is almost always a headache for anyone trying. :bang:

Now I get a missing file MSVCP100.dll, for either beta or normal... fixed for normal, screw beta. ;)

My mistake for even trying. :rofl:

Yup, being a smart ass is not compelling for zone leads, but yup that was done, I can read instructions thanks.

Any other smart ass comments, perhaps general name calling befitting your illustrious station in the community? :D

You make sweeping, slanderous comments then have the gall to say:
