Beta Branch Servers

[Callum]

We just opened up servers for all game modes on the beta branch for those that would like to test the changes on that version.

Is there a duel server as well?

No, there are just servers for the supported game modes right now. With the frequency that beta is going to main, I'm not sure this should be too much of an issue right now.

its harder to test combat related changes in skirmish

Great stuff, thanks Callum and MP team. I am hoping that these beta servers will act as a place to test experimental changes for MP.

What happened to the Alpha branch or was that SP?

What happened to the Alpha branch or was that SP?

Considering that alpha was supposed to be daily and more unstable, I would guess it was SP exclusive

 

[Younes]

Please don't have two branches for multiplayer. The population isn't big enough to populate both of them

Do developers or TW testers play the beta branch MP?

the beta is the tested alpha branch, so i highly doubt that except they directly make changes to the branch or just minor tests in general.

So I’m confused are there active na servers in multiplayer beta or only on the stable branch ? Which is standard to play multiplayer on currently ?

 

[Sincool]

Cannot connect to MP from beta 1.4 currently. I get a version mismatch message.
I have a ton of mods for the SP 1.4 and I would love it if I could connect to MP without downgrading my game. Also having duel servers would be amazing as well

 

[Namakan]

Can't even get into the lobby with current beta version, is that intended?

Same here, which is kind of sad since 1.4 beta is quite good

 

[Nordous]

I get the '"could not get acces from your platform service" message.

 

[Grimnarsson]

I don't understand. Is it possible to play MP in the beta branch or not?

I'm currently playing the single player beta, which means I can't go over to MP without doing a 4gb download... It means I can never check if anyone is on multiplayer, preventing me from ever playing it. I saw in the patch notes that they separated MP and SP, hopefully in the coming weeks (or more realistically months) they implement a system where multiplayer is accessible on all versions of the game.
