looks like for 1.2.7 openbeta

Hmmm, that's why I didn't get the update yet on the final, so the conclusion is continue to have the openbeta installed.

Thank you for the info.

[blackbelter]

I thought it is for the released version? In the official updates, it is posted in the thread for the released version...

 

Anyway, will check later.

[EAKMotorsports]

I still have the 2 versions, and only the openbeta was updated to 1.2.7.23803.xxx version.

It says it is for the release in the post from Chizh.

If 1.2.7 is still in Open Beta, then we need some actual information from ED as to what this really is, or what the Release was.

[Gloom Demon]

That's strange - I thought 1.2.7 moved out of open beta quite a while ago...

[cichlidfan]

I will also be looking at that 'updated' Huey manual as soon as I figure out where to install this mess. It will be interesting to see if the overhead console has finally been documented.

Its quite possible both version will update.

[HiJack]

Crap! I have deleted all the open beta folders already :(

[ENO]

Hmmm updater (manual) isn't picking it up yet on my end...

 

 

Had to read the thread again to see there is some beta / release confusion and Maverick must have been talking about their beta server updated.

OpenBeta updated but released version will not.

 

EDIT: I guess the Huey manual got some spelling corrections.

Right now the update is available only for Open Beta.

In the release version will be at Monday.

 

Sorry for incorrect announcing.

The Autoupdate.cfg of the two version is different:

 

• Release:

  "WARNING": "DO NOT EDIT this file. You may break your install!",
  "version": "1.2.7.23097.351",
  "arch": "x86_64",
  "lang": "EN",
  "modules": [

  
  

• Openbeta:
  

   "WARNING": "DO NOT EDIT this file. You may break your install!",
  "branch": "openbeta",
  "version": "1.2.7.23803.355",
  "arch": "x86_64",
  "lang": "EN",
  "modules": [

  
  

 

By adding "branch": "openbeta", and running a Repair you can transform your install from Release to Openbeta and viceversa (by erasing)

Thanks for the clarity Chizh.

Damn, I deleted the open beta from my PC only yesterday. Wasn't aware that moving forward things come to openbeta first and then get released on official branch days later.

Anyway, good stuff! Looking forward to installing the update come Monday :) (and may finally feel brave enough to join multiplayer too -- mostly as target practice for other players and AI, I suppose :D)

What is the point of the Open Beta, if you already plan on releasing the update on Monday (in three days) anyway?

The open beta is probably the same as the internal testing branch for release. And you are not supposed to use the open beta for small releases such as this.

Alone to keep the Open Beta in sync with the Release version is a good point. At some day the Open Beta will be updated to 1.2.8 and then a new official testing phase begins. (all this as "imho")

if there are any major issues, they can always post pone the monday update to the non beta branch.

Worth Downloading the Beta Now?

 

Hi Guys,

Since 1.2.7 is final, is it worth downloading the 1.2.7 beta for further testing or . . . . will there be a new beta for 1.2.8?

 

Would the existing 1.2.7 beta be used as a platform for 1.2.8 testing?

 

I'm asking this because the download time to get the beta is horrendous and if it is not being used further, I will wait but if it is going to be used as a basis for further testing of 1.2.8, I'll bite the bullet and start the download.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

Cats . . .

Can controls be changed within multiplayer (without exiting)?
