Allegiance 1.3 installs but I get the error message when I try to start it.

I get: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance 1.3\Beta\Allegiance.exe is not a valid Win32 application

Tried both downloads. Running "Allegiance Beta", I get a lobby with one game I can't join. Running "Allegiance", "I get Allegiance Zone logon service error (1)".

No one on 1.2. Guess I'm not playing Allegiance today.

I think the problem is that when you run beta from the asgs launcher, it breaks things...

follow these steps precisely...


goto the allegiance 1.3 / beta folder and double click the uninst.exe and uninstall it. REBOOT!

THEN download R8 BETA

before extracting that, right click on the zip file and goto properties and hit the button that says "unblock" (for win7 users)....then extract the zip file and double click the installer.

After installation, do NOT run the ASGS launcher, instead, launch the R8 beta using the shortcut that was created on your desktop!

How about give us a binary that doesn't require gymnastics to install.

As far as I'm concerned, this week's beta test is concluded and the results are in.

this is beta testing, it is always like this and if you're that easily defeated, then you have no reason testing beta.

Even as I didn't start acss or asgs I did everything as above and I still get:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance 1.3\Beta\Allegiance.exe is not a valid Win32 application

when I start from Allegiance 1.3 icon from desktop.

As I understand, ease (and robustness) of installation is at the top of the priority list and is key for growing the user base. It's pretty clear what needs to be worked on. No sense blaming the testers for the deficiencies of the beta.

Better luck next week.

The beta is hosted on the CSS server. If you are not seeing the CSS server and you see a game with 2000 players, you've got it installed incorrectly.

GOTO the post I just put in the GENERAL section of the forum and follow those instructions.
