The test client link is now available on the news page. Be sure and actually READ the news page before downloading it.

Please post feedback here. We know of a bunch of issues with the client.. we found more tonight. But, we got a test version out, so at least people can play with it and help us test over the next couple of weeks.

Woooohooo :P

Edit: Wow, the server is slow..

Edit edit: Better go get some sleep..

Morner does not like slow downloads ^^ can't way to check out the new UI

Actually, the entire website is rate-shaped. A preventative measure in the event of overwhelming popularity. Still, it's not *that* slow, you should get it in 15 minutes or so.

Should we use the default wgaf file, or is it ok to install the file I've been using with all the binds, etc?

It will take me 1.5 hours with an 10 megabit connection..

Tumblemonster, doesn't the newspost say it is recommended to use the default wgaf file?

Read the last paragraph :P

Ah, thanks, missed that bit.

No problem :)

BUG: In the ship presets. You select a ship from the lsit to set as a preset. If that ship is available to purchase, boom, its bought. But, if you preset a ship that the station doesn't sell, you get stuck in a purchasing window and when you cancel out, you end up at the welcome screen, apparently having been kicked out of VO.

Dear god, 44 Minutes? >.< Its like dial-up all over again!

And I hated having dial up. *gives the .zip file the evil eye*
On another note, the new UI is a lot smaller eh? Downloading three version of the UI, and its only 128 megs.

BUG: When purchasing an AGT for a prom, VO crashed dead and went back the finder. Haven't tried repeating, because it's way past my bedtime, and I won't be able to sort out anything groggy. Good night. Good luck, cya and the tomorrow night testing marathon.

no, the binary executable was always small. it's the graphics that are large (media.rlb). So, for us to make one zip with all 3 platforms is only a few MB bigger than only 1 platform.

The normal downloads are just customized to each specific platform for ease of installation and such.

Anybody not behind a NAT feel like setting up a BT tracker? Or anybody behind a NAT who can make a tracker work with any decent speed through a NAT...

Aren't there plenty of public bt-trackers?

I bumped a roid in Odia M14 and client froze completely I had to reboot to get out of it and relog in on original client to get ship to station, Prior to that I was jumping from the Odia Bractus WH when i encountered a wh Im not sure what sector it was I got black holed jumping from the Ion storm in the sector back to M14. I had to reboot for that also.

F9 doesnt work either..

Any good news? any changes in this new client? or THIS thread is just for bugs?

BTW good job devs, its the first step yay !

BUG: When racing in Sedina B-5, I hit the clear wall on the final turn. The HD started thrashing like crazy, and the game froze (except for a small stuttering noise that played every now and again). It's been stuck for the last five minutes.

Linux, AMD 2100+, nVidia GF4 440MX, graphic level set to Medium (16MB).
Flying an EC-101.

(Edit: See Woodstock's post two up, probably related.)

As a side note, the text on the loading screens is huge. Do you intend to shrink that down at all? :S

Thanks,

The "refill all ammo" button doesn't work. I can't find an easy way to refill only the weapons on my ship, either... said button covers all weapons you ever bought. Ever.

And the ship equip/weapon group tabs are lacking... something. Instead of a ship model (which seems a bit out of place) maybe a wireframe would be better?

The 'refill ALL ammo' bug is friggin hilarious :)

yeah, but thats just it. the bug doesnt work. the button's borked
