2.7.0 Beta Test We're going to do a public playtest next week for the next version - 2.7.0. This will be a Beta test that can be directly downloaded through steam. The test is split into two parts, with one scheduled to take place from 20:00 GMT and another one 4 hours later at 20:00 EST. Though both tests are open to players from all timezones. This thread will be updated with information about how to download the beta branch. A detailed changelog and screens will be posted in the following days as well.
We found that a dedicated build server is no longer necessary. We'll be doing the build ourselves. :D
I thought you guys knew that. By build server I thought you was talking about like a version depot. I was kind of wondering why you guys was so insistent on having a "build server" They haven't been required for years. Anyone with developer access can install the stem works and push updates, modify steam page, and a few other things like Persistent identity framework. Persistent identity framework Achievements, leaderboards, profiles, and avatars can be used to make your game come alive, building your community and providing a strong incentive to play more and recruit others. Also since updates are being done again.. Has any one had a chance to work on the sound operator stacks ? If not I could work on making some scripts to keep the sound from cracking by limiting the amount of sounds that can be heard from weapons.
You can opt into beta in empires game properties? Doesnt show me the option. Only "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs"
Have to enter a beta code to use the beta, it will show up then. I don't remember what it is, it's in the testing subforum though.
