Open Beta of Spring Update

Can someone tell me what exactly Im doing wrong? I feel like an idiot but I don't see what it is Im doing wrong.

First I set steam not to open when windows started up, and rebooted to double check if it worked. Then I changed my Start in line to ""C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -beta roclient50". After that I start steam and Run RO, but its not patched or anything. I tried connecting to servers but it just starts downloading maps. I tried completely redownloading RO and then verifying the files but still nothing =/ I never download any patch or anything.

Should we also post Open Beta of Spring Update likes and dislikes here?


I feel the screams are now a bit too melodramatic. If they can be more varied (lower tones) and a bit less, that would be OK. During heavy combat, it feels as if one is now in some Haunted House of Horror at a fairground.:eek:

But there is a lot I really like, e.g. the in-game music is a nice touch :)

yes.


Also. For those who wish to roll-back to the already-public version (v1034), follow these steps:

1) Close RO/Steam
2) Remove the beta testing tag from your shortcut, or just start Steam normally
3) The game should "Update" but it will only download the files to make it compatable with v1034.

Much faster: make a copy of you RO folder (..steam/common/red orchestra).

I would highly recommend that players update to the BETA now.
As the quicker TWI can test it the quicker we all get the final patch and remember if (as expected) this BETA proves to be perfectly ok then you will all have the final patch already installed:D

Very True.....

The new software is excellent. We need more players to get involved so we can get the final out the door.

Every time I try to connect to a server, it needs to download loads of huge files that take about 20 minutes each. Then it gets quite far into one of the weapon folders then just says connection failed, connection failed. Really frustrating, I did the patch and everything correctly, any help please?

If you patched to the beta, you need to connect only to servers that have the [Beta 1047 Test] in front of it. All other servers run non beta versions, so you are not compatible with those.

Yessir.

The whole deal is, I don't steam ever triggered the game to download an update =/ Is there someway I can check the version number I have, or a way to force the game to update?

Heres exactly what I did

Step 1: Dont allow steam to start up with windows
