Now since there's no discussion topic, I thought I'd asked here.

Is there a way to avoid having to download 3.7 gigabytes of stuff which would probably take me 10 hours or more and not just copy/paste stuff like I did to access test?

Depends if your using your EU or US account, Doc. Or the client.
As far as I knew, the EU test was occupying our only trest server, so the answer there would probably be a no.

US side? Not a clue.

You could probably use the stickies for quick access to the Training Room server and just alter them to work for the beta server folders?

But I'd need to know what the beta server folders were...or could I just copy and paste the old test folder and then rename it?

Edit: Nevermind...question has been answered

Back to your normal business.

My question is simple. . . What do I do after the download?

I am at a loss and it has nothing to do with my back pain meds. . . No really it doesnt.

It's a zip file, just keep clicking on it till it opens a new window, in that new window you'll see a link that says extract these files.

Once you extract the files you need to find Setup.exe and run it. That will install the CohBeta on your computer. After it installs you should try to login. There's a patch and a checksum that need to be done before you can login tomorrow.

If you run through this whole process without deleting anything it's going to eat up almost 10 gigs of disk space. Zip file, the unzipped contents of the zip file, and new installation. For most people disk space isn't a problem. Just a little forewarning for those who might have that problem.

Question is... Is this a completely different install/game configuration than what the *current* test server is? I have the Test Server folder on my computer already, but there is a difference between the Test Server and the "Closed Beta" Test Server. Therefore, does one need to install this new zip file in order to properly access the right server for closed beta testing, or is a current install/updated version of an already installed Test Server folder good enough?

Yes. If you want to have access to Live, the Test server, and you want to beta test GR, you need 3 separate installations.

You should be able to get the beta install in the same manner as the test install, though. Instead of passing the -test flag to the updater, use the -beta flag.
