1.34.8 Open Test

[GOPHUR]

Introduction

Open Test for v1.34.8 is ready for some initial testing. We still have work to complete the PIAT but we have enough in here to do some basic testing.

Testing

Live fire testing is limited to the Kortnijk-Avelgem area, all other areas are for no-fire testing only. Please respect the other testers and only fire on others you are in contact with.

Flyboys

A lot of you are having a crash after a long sortie. We think this is caused by a memory leak in the terrain system. Please test and see if you can replicate any issues.

RPATS

The PIAT is in and so is the French Bazooka. These aren't really quite ready for testing but you may find them online and will find them offline.

Mac

Your fixes already went live but please ALWAYS test the beta!

Read Me

Everything in the read me is worth testing but everything not in the read me is too so just pop on when you can and do something. Anything at all. Fire some guns. Crash a plane. You never know where a bug might be lurking.

Testing Guidelines

• This is beta
  
• Do not run the software if you are not comfortable with that
  
• Players should not move brigades
  
• Do not post your crash reports (we get them already)
  
• Do tell us about your crashes
  
• Feel free to make threads about bugs
  
• One bug per thread please
  
• Make sure to give a post in our feedback thread(s)
  
• Don't post your DX Diag
  
• Just give us CPU and GPU and OS
  
• Remember this is a BETA
  
• Things WILL break
  
• Have fun

Updated to 1.34.8.5 today.

The Mac patcher is working agaqin. YAY! Also tested the map crash and it is STILL fixed in beta.

Still waiting on testing of the out of memory error that results in flyboys getting a ctd.

Next Patch

PIATs are getting closer. New sounds going in.

Found the problem with Paras and satchels. The HUD says HE but the weapon is HEAT. You can kills tanks. You can't kill FBs. Planning to give Para Rifles both HE and HEAT satchels soon.
