Darkest Hour: Penultimate Update Pre Release
This is the Penultimate update before the release, next week, of our first Darkest Hour Beta 1. We would like to thank everyone who have given us support over the months and we hope you enjoy playing Darkest Hour. We have a few details to go over in this release before bringing you another existing peak next week before the release.

Server Files:
As many of you know the server side files will be handed out to those who applied starting on May 31st. This should be a quick and efficient process of handing out links and passwords to the people who expressed an interest however it should also be noted that anyone experiencing problems setting up the server is more than welcome to contact myself (Aeneas2020) or Exocet on the DH forums at anytime for additional support.

Darkest Hour Patch and Update Policy:
Following the Beta 1 the developers will be striving to polish Darkest Hour into a final product. With this in mind please be aware that this release is still a Beta so rough edges and bugs may exist however we are dedicated to fixing them (there will be a known bug list included with the client release). We will be releasing bug fix patches and new content regularly. We will ensure that we make every effort to inform you about upcoming patches and make them easy to install. Our first two content patches are already planned, the first coming shortly after release 1 will add new maps that just missed release and any major bug fixes needed. The second will include new vehicles for both sides and continue to upgrade DH as a whole.

St Mere Eglise Night & Day:
Sadly one map that will not making release 1 is the aforementioned St Mere Eglise level. This is due to a last minute bug that caused significant game play problems with both the map and the parachute code. This does mean that the parachute system will not be in release 1. However both maps and the parachute system will be released within a week or two of release once the issues are ironed out. We felt it was necessary to delay getting this system to you so it would be working perfectly rather than delaying the entire release. As stated before please be patient the wait will not be a long one.

Darkest Hour Manual:
Finally thanks to the tireless efforts of our dev team (particularly Harvey) we are pleased to offer the Darkest Hour Manual for download. This document is full of facts and information about Darkest Hour including how to install, how to set up a server and how to use new content. You can download the Manual from the following places:
