Repopulation Server Test Tonight (8/5) - 7 PM CST
by Joshua Halls (Xerves) · 08/05/2009 (10:49 am) · 15 comments
We are going to have a server test tonight at 7PM CST (8PM EST, 5PM PST). Going to be doing some basic metrics benchmarks to see where we are at with a single server load. We have a basic zone setup with a few enemies to shoot and and some vendors to buy stuff from, but we wanted to keep it kind of basic so a few more people might be able to slip in that wouldn't normally because the graphics requirements would be a bit lower. We are still looking at GeForce 6600 GT or greater, but it should run a bit better than our full blown zones. If you are interested please check out the forum posting for the client download and a few other notes.

Server is up and running if anyone wants to get in early and make sure things work. Will probably be in/out during the day. If you have any issues feel free to post them here or if you want on our website. I am sure there will be issues :-).

Downloaded and have played it a bit :) the main problem i'm having is that a lot of the text on the GUIs doesn't appear. Is this normal? I'm using an ATI 4850.

See the bit about the font. We are using a custom font and it isn't in the installer yet.

Yeah the assignment thing is a bug and that zone isn't in the test. You might need to create a new character.

On the emergency evacuation assignment, that slipped by us. It defaults to not being available for those and thus your character shouldn't get the option, but there is apparently a bug where even if you turn it off, it still offers it to you. Which will send you to a zone that doesn't exist in this build.

Ha ha. Thanks for poking around Omega. Hopefully soon we will have a bit more to do than shoot at a few mobs.
