Beta Test Update 9th March

[TheBeagle]

Ok guys here's the deal.

The line you put in your STEAM SHORTCUT(Not RO Beta shortcut, this confused me) starts a beta version of the Steam Friends Network that you need to Play the RO Beta.

You will see a Steam update bar downloading the new content.

If you use another shortcut you have for another game or the RO Beta shortcut to start Steam and play, Steam will update its normal version without the Friends Beta, giving you the connection error on the RO beta.

In your STEAM SHORTCUT(not RO BETA shortcut), put: -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends with a space after the "...Steam.exe" part so it looks like:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends

Mind you your pathway might be different like" Program Files/Valve/Steam/Steam.exe..."

Now you start Steam first with the Steam shortcut and then play normally,

If you want to use the RO Beta shortcut to START STEAM AND play, then put this in your RO Beta shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends -applaunch 1210

Now it will start the correct version of Steam.

You have to do this with every game shortcut on your desktop, otherwise you will launch the regular Steam version without the Friends Beta.

Put the -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends in between "...Steam.exe" and a -applaunch xxxx and now you will launch the correct Steam version needed to play the Beta.

Short version:
After you put that line in your STEAM SHORTCUT, start Steam only from that shortcut, THEN choose open RO Beta.

Am I the only one that goes to launch the game and it restarts my computer....

 

[The_Countess]

stiler : update vid and chipset drivers, undo your overclock (if any)

or if you want to really see what the problem is turn off the auto reboot on problem so you can see the blue screen and write down what it says so we can see what he cause is.

(to do that, right click my computer --> properties --> advanced --> startup and recovery, settings --> tick off automatically restart --> hit ok
then start RO:O again. )

Sound like you are running Zone Alarm.

Stiler try unninstalling(not reinstalling) Zone alarm firewall. then exit steam, and delete the folder Steam\Steamapps\(your user name)\Redorchestrabeta and then start steam. it should work fine then

I think i've done everything there . but it still doesn't seem to work

 

[Johann Müdrick]

I wanted to thank everyone for posting and helping. This shows the good community of RO.

I was able to get mine working by deleting Steam and reinstalling it. I had tried everything that was suggested here and reinstalling Steam got everything working perfectly fine.

 

[mistk�fer]

reinstalling steam doesnt solve this problem for me too

@devs: any statement if it is fixed in the final or if you are still working on it?

 

[[DBDUK]ImIgRaNt]

I just reinstalled steam and deleted my RO B. i got to downlaod it again. i hope it works or else i just wasted 3 hours

 

[[CoFR]BooBoo]

Beta servers down?

 

[Stiler]

Thanks guys, Deleting zonealarm and reinstalling the beta, etc worked .
