Beta 10 Full Release -- Weekend of March 7th --
We feel we are nearly ready to finally push Version 10 into our production environment replacing the all too long lasting, Version 9.
Exploding Fist and I ask for help from our Beta Participants over the next week with a few important items.
Most Important -- Update System
What we need help with is making sure the update system is stable and won't melt your client. We have tested this ourselves fairly extensively, but would like as many users as possible to update to 0.10.2.3 (That's important, update changes in that patch) and from there stress our update system. Once on this version please quit the client and restart it the first time.
To test it all you need to do is go to Help->Update, then choose to "Repair Install". It is a full download of every file from the Recursion Server, followed by a restart/install. If you want to do that a few times, we'd be happy. If you want to try to break the client doing it, we'd be even happier. And if you tell us about it, that would make us the happiest.
Still Important -- Program Stability & Bugs
How is everything running? The biggest issues we had from 0.9 were WaveOut sound errors and Access Denied errors. Those should be fixed (The sound one may still come up based on drivers, but we offer a Direct Sound solution to fix that now)
Voice Packs published for Beta 10 may not have the most testing performed yet. There have been some great contributions lately making use of custom achievement backgrounds I'd like to see tested. The dynamic sounds feature is new as well and it would be nice to get some live data back on that.
Missing Version 9 Features
Our later updates have added back missing features including 3D rotation, key mapping key listeners, and kill streak notifications (May have to restore default components for long time participants).
There are still one or two achievements which aren't implemented yet. Let us know if we missed anything.
General Feedback
We've received great feedback from users so far and have implemented what we can given our limited schedules. So thank you again, and feel free to let us know of anything else.
