You have to wait til they open it up.
Issue 16 is testing on it right now, for Closed Beta.

add space -test after the parenthesis on the icon properties thingy

AFTER copying it to a new folder... because the client is different... you'd wind up copying over your coh stuff with test, and then back, so... new folder.

Actually you don't need to do that, if you follow the instructions on the thread "how to get to the Test Server" it creates it's own folder once you set it up right.

*edit* just noticed that there's no such thread. Used to be stickied in every single forum. Like, up to a week and a half ago.

When you run -test it asks you what directory you want to install to, so you should be safe. But copying your live install to the directory you want to run test from and then running cohupdater.exe with -test on it will still save you time, so it is a good process to go through regardless.

Actually, if you don't have Test INSTALLED, it will ask you for a folder to install it in, rather than overwriting your existing client. In fact, it will do that even if you move your updater, and if you try to install where you're running the updater from, the installation will fail because it will try to write over the updater as its running, which the system can't do.

*edit*
If you already installed Test but deleted its client, that may be rather different.
