Careful, do you mean Beta server or Test server? Those are different.

If it's the Beta server, you have to be part of the double secret testing cabal to have access, and lose your first born child if you squeal about details.


Too many alts to list.

If you're using that new NCSoft Launcher it keeps track of patches for Live, Test, and Beta installations, doesn't matter if you can log in to Beta or not the launcher will notify you when patches are available.

It is indeed on Beta. I'm sure we'll like it, whatever it is! Big patches mean big changes or additions. :P

I should quit editing every single post I make 4+ times.

So you're saying there actually is a reason to use the new launcher. Hmm.

Not to mention it's blazing fast when actively patching, and will trickle patch when your pc's idle...yeah...no reason not to use it.

Here's hoping for i21 testing! (Even though we won't hear about it for while...)

Gotta agree, wasn't caring for the change much initially but its simply a better way of handling CoH and would dislike going back to the old cohupdater launching now. Its a fairly small footprint app that happily runs in the background, it keeps the game patched while I'm away doing other stuff instead of finding there is a patch to download when I want to login RIGHT NOW, and it manages my Test and Beta installs.

And since afaik we *must* move to it at some point, might as well take the plunge.

Did the Beta server ever get the most recent patch that the Test and Live servers recently got? That might be it.

And if you don't like it running in the back, you can set it to close when it launches a game.

Or at least minimize.

Looks like they are testing the combined server list. That was a really long list there, BTW!


Still here, even after all this time!

Wrong size.

Not only that but it verifies files sooo much faster than the old CoH launcher.

So yeah -- it's blazing fast when patching, and it was pretty easy to set up so it actually CLOSES after I launch, since I didn't want it running in the background. It's also pretty handy for launching a second instance for dual-boxing!

And -- best of all, it's NOT the "old" NCSoft launcher that everybody complained about!

A couple of my friends are change-resistant technophobes, and even they seem to like the new launcher.

I'll agree with Futurias...when you login it shows a big list of servers (only 2 were green when I logged in (no access though ))...servers were named "WorldAccess_Server01" or something like that...

I keep using the old one out of habit - I use the new one when I remember. (Which is a bit less often since I stopped playing Aion. That was my big reason to keep it easily available.)

Doubtful. The build is still 2010, not 2100.

I keep using the old one because Steam never got the new launcher, and if I call the NCLauncher manually, the next time I run the game from Steam it'll go nuts and start "fixing" files.
