2.3 special testing build now available!

[Buginator]

We really could use some more testing on 2.3, so this is a special build, it is 2.3 r10007.
Especially, 8p games!


Call it PRE-beta11a


Builds are available for:
------
*edit

beta 11a will be released shortly...
------

If you get a crash and or quirky MP gameplay, then upload the stderr.txt file along with the crash dump to a new bug ticket. http://developer.wz2100.net/newticket

(No need to specify --debug net anymore, it is automatic!)

Thanks!

Sounds good!
Downloading right now, especially curious about the cannon rebalance.

[Buginator]

The "official" Beta 11a build should be out on Friday night, so more people can use this new version over the weekend.

If people have comments on balance issues, or whatever else, please talk about it now, in this thread.


Thanks!

Just 5 minutes after started trying it, I found a bug...

If you right click a factory (I was trying to set the "retreat at heavy damage" option) it's menu doesn't work and doesn't close...

[Olrox]

in this build, why the drastic changes to the cannons? They can shoot down VTOLs now?

It was supposed to be only the HPV cannon. Unless the devs decided to try a different thing.
You sure it's "cannons"?

He may be confusing between WhirlWind AA and Double Assault Cannon, that look very similar. (Happened to me some time ago)

Maybe, but - I don't know since what version for sure - HPV Cannons can indeed shoot air units.

Hmm... interesting, then...

[Zarel]

A single weapon, the Hyper Velocity Cannon, can now shoot air units.

This change was implemented to make sure lancers aren't too powerful.
