First thing: this is not an open beta test yet!
This small test is ONLY to check if there are problems with running newer version of client (FPS drops, game crashes and other weird behaviour). That's why we ask you to launch it and play a bit. You will be able to see few or more new features but it's only a small part of what will be brought by new session. Almost everything is WIP but it's not important at this moment - more important is checking stability and compatibility.
Instructions:
- Download the new client from here: (test closed)
- Unzip it to a NEW directory on your HDD,
- Throw "fallout.dat" or "master.dat AND critter.dat" from your Reloaded client into /data/packs directory,
- Run FOnline.exe. Don't run Updater.exe.
- Register a new character and play a bit.
After you think it's enough, you should post following info for us:
+ version of your Operating System, and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit,
+ your hardware: CPU (at least model), amount of RAM, Video card (at least model),
+ info about encountered problems - if there weren't any, write it!
+ additional things if you think they are important or worth of mentioning,
Note:
- make sure that you're using the newest drivers for your video card,
- you can type /chat command to use global chat. For other commands, press F1 button,
- Altruists have been placed in Hub; one gives free experience, the other one provides some gear,
- 800x600 resolution is no longer considered as supported, use higher,
- Mapper is now integrated in client,
- Client and mapper are updated automatically when launched.
Known/temporary issues:
- Many objects have ugly blue background colour,
- Hex shooting/throwing, displaying TC zones etc. doesn't work if you visit worldmap (or login on worldmap),
- Using Automap in Pipboy gives strange results,
- Some messages in Fixboy are wrong,
- Bug in scrolling the worldmap while using fullscreen mode - use window mode when scrolling worldmap,
- Poor performance on some video cards, but we ask you to post a report on it,
- Changing resolution causes interface to be displayed in wrong area - restart client.
