FCP2 Testing begins 5/27/2008 at 4:00pm PST/7PM EST

[S2Fielding]

The wait is nearly over - FCP2 is nearly here.

We will begin testing of FCP2 Tomorrow (5/27/2008) at 4:00pm PST/7PM EST.

This test is going to be an OPEN test - anyone with the special test client can help us test. We will post the link to download the test client tonight or tomorrow in this thread (I will edit this post). The catch is that the test client will not allow for lan/local play and the test server is only going to be up at testing times. Once the server is full, that's it - we've got all the testers we need for that testing session (unless someone leaves).

It will be a first come first serve basis and we intend on testing every week day (mon-fri) day at 4pm PST/7PM EST until FCP2 is released or until we state otherwise.

The only maps in the map rotation on the test server will be Ancient Cities, Desolation, and Hidden Village (the three new maps from the map contest).

Disclaimer: FCP2 is not complete. It's still a work in progress. Most noticably some of the effects may be missing or temporary/place holder. We will begin testing some core features tomorrow and add other FCP features as the test progresses.

Stay tuned to this thread for a link to the test client later tonight or early tomorrow.

NOTE: Those of you who have the test client from FCP1 testing may use the same test client.

[S2Fielding]

Yes it will be the same test client as the old one.

Any patchlog or do we have to wait till tomorrow?

[S2Fielding]

Wait till tomorrow

Again not 100% of the features will be in - they'll be patched in over the week. However a few of the bigger changes are definitely in, I think it'll be pretty exciting for a lot of you.

Pretty quick, gonna try this out before going on a field mission to the lion's den aka berlin!

Edit: Dammit, Timeconverter tells me I gotta login at 2 AM if I want to test FCP2. At that time I'll probably be filled up with beer and ranting about those fatty boys called tempests + my AOC delivery that still didnt manage to get in.

How will the testing work, and will the client be a seperate install or can it be based around your existing one (like copying the files to use the test server for EVE)

And will both versions of the client be available for testing? I'd love to be a part of this having missed the beta and FCP1 testing

There's a special Test Client which you'll be able to obtain, from what I remember it's not just a simple copy of the existing one.
