The latest version of Battleground Europe is now ready for pre-release testing. We appreciate your assistance in helping to review the final builds of our release candidate. This test is available to all of our premium subscribers and will run every day until release . Please be sure to check for the latest installations of the test client. Also please read the read me file, stickied in this thread, prior to testing and participate in any focus tests that are posted. Thank you again for participating in our test.
The purpose of this test is to expose the client and host processes to a large number of players to resolve any outstanding bugs that need to be addressed before going live. The server is set up for live game testing. This means that the server is a LIVE FIRE server. Players are free to engage the enemy at will any place on the map except for Area 51. Area 51 is designated for peer to peer testing. Players abusing this area should be reported using the .report command.
Also note that during Open Testing the Game Testing and Bug Reporting forum should only be used for reporting issues relevant to the current open test. Other issues may be posted but will not be responded to during open testing. Our focus is solely on preparing the current open test client and host for release to the live server. Testing and Reporting: Please use the following guide lines for participating in this test. - Install - Downloads will be made available from this thread at the bottom. Players are responsible for keeping the test version up to date. No support is offered from Playnet for any part of this beta including downloads.
- Read Me - Below this post you will find the latest read me file and any previous read me files. Please use these resources in your testing. Report bugs that are based on the read me.
- Focus Test - Each day before testing please review the forum for any sticky posts that indicate we are performing a focus test. The majority of our efforts will be in the focus test and your participation is greatly appreciated.
- Reporting Issues - During a test our primary concern is with bugs in features as listed in the read me files. Bugs should not be posted from the live server during an open test. All bugs should be confirmed on the test client prior to posting. Bugs that are not related to features in the read me are low priority during open test as we are no longer committing resources to additional features and fixes outside of preparing the test client and host for release.
- Schedule - Testing will generally be available either all day or for specific hours during the day depending on the impact to the live server and our testing needs. Focus Tests may also be posted for specific hours and your assistance at those times is especially appreciated. Please review the schedule often as changes frequently are made. Also be aware that you can test the client offline by launching from the 'Practice Offline' link in the start menu for Battleground Europe TEST or by launching the ww2.exe manually from within the test directory (default install directory is /Program File/CRS/Battleground Europe TEST). All times listed are U.S. Central or GMT -6.
- DxDiag - Do not post a full DxDiag unless asked to by a dev.
If you'd like to post your DxDiag, please post only your System Information, Display Devices and Sound Devices sections. - This is beta software - Please be aware that this software is beta and may include bugs and other issues that could be harmful to your machine. By installing this software, you assume all risks involved with testing. If you are uncomfortable with testing, please do not participate or download any software.
- Please post all CTD in the sticky thread - CTD logs can be found in the install directory of Battleground Europe TEST. The log most useful is the ww2error.log. Please post this log with any information about the circumstances of the crash in the forum titled for the current version. Mac users should send console logs to
