The new beta patch

[old.Amything]

Oi!

Any BW server(s) be running the Beta patch?

More info on beta patch from Dynamix:
Dynamix will make a BETA patch available for download on the
Central Download Site sometime tomorrow (June 19th). This patch addresses most of the remaining issues in the game and specifically fixes the ELF crash bug.

This is *not* an official patch, and no support from Sierra will be provided for it. It is recommended for expert users only. This patch is still being tested in-house. We will make it available for download to interested players so we can ensure the best possible quality and compatibility when this patch becomes official.

If you try this patch, and you are not happy with it, a "reverse patch" will also be available on the Central Download Site that will restore your game back to the current version.

We will be setting up a "BETA Patch Feedback" forum for comments about this patch so that we can listen and respond to any issues you may find.

Thanks, all. We want your game to run as smoothly and cleanly as possible.

Again...this BETA patch will be available tomorrow, June 19.

I know people who are scared to install normal patches, let alone Beta ones.

I doubt BW will update

They do not like using beta code on their servers.....except if its called Counterstrike...of course.

Not sure if this patch is aimed at servers or just the client's we'll see when it's released.

Servers and Clients will need the patch....so if BW doesnt update, and you do....you cant play on BW.

Dynamix announcement:

----
Developer beta patch delayed by one day.

Dynamix has delayed public distribution of the beta patch until tomorrow (June 20th) for further testing. Despite our desire to deliver fixes for those of you who cannot play the game properly, we are holding this code to the highest level of scrutiny. Although the Q/A process has not uncovered any problems with the patch, we are continuing to test overnight.

The patch contains fixes for most of the commonly reported problems, including ELF freezes, random crashes and UE's, flag-skipping, Immersion force-feedback support, and global chat before matches, among others. Look for announcements on the in-game news section and on www.tribes2centraldownload.com
