RO 2 owners will now find that they have the ability to opt into a Red Orchestra 2 beta (they can do this by right clicking on the game in Steam, choosing the properties option and then the beta tab to find the opt in drop down) . This beta will replace the current live build of the game (not the separate Red Orchestra 2 Beta).
A brief summary of what this beta includes:
This is not the final build, but is a near release candidate. We will be monitoring it over the weekend for any major issues that arise. Have fun, and a great weekend!
Of note, users may need to delete their mygames/ro2/rogame/config files. They need to be freshly made for this build of the game and it looks like the initial install did not do that properly.
We have also heard reports that it doesn't start the update for some users unless they toggle the "always keep this game up to date" function off and then back on
