Patch 07 - Unofficial Public Beta - 1126b updated 17 Sept 2016

[smpicciano]

If I am running the latest patch, version 1.8.11.26a-Jul10 2016 17:35:45, should I still download the unofficial beta patch?

[BBfanboy]

Some claim that 1126b has a fix to underway replenishment that is not in 1126a, but I am sure that I saw an official statement that when they made 1126a the latest official patch, they migrated all the improvements from 1126b over so there should be no difference.

Thanks!

This is an on-going unofficial beta install for the program. Not data.

It addresses a number of issues that have been causing problems.

Download the zip and run the installer.

It will create a directory Beta2 off the main AE install directory, install the updated EXE and DLL, and create a shortcut on desktop to run AE from that new directory.
Note that only the basic options are used with the shortcut. Copy the shortcut and add your preferred options to the command line such as screen size.

This does NOT affect the normal EXE and DLL in the main install directory. You can still use your normal shortcuts to run the official version of the program.

This is being done solely on my responsibility and outside the normal Matrix process. So please beware of the risk if you wish to update and use in existing PBEM games. Save files under this version wont load in earlier game EXE versions, but old saves are compatible with this version.

If your Tracker experiences problems reading new saves, try copying over the DLL from the Beta2 directory to the Tracker install directory(ies).

hey,
awesome work you did , but i have a problem,
when adding '-f -px1920 –py1280" command in the quickstart shortcut properties, it renders the game fullscreen, but the graphics are incorrect and the game is unplayable. after loading the game, the game menu "floats" above the map.
ever had this problem?
TNX in advance for your response.
grts,

Niko

[traskott]

Just intalled the beta.. It's great, thanks guy for the effort.

Now I have to update all my mods .

I have found some minors mistakes (devices related), where can I post them?

[RangerJoe]

Are you referring to the 2016 beta or the most recent one that they are working on? The most recent one has its own thread.

Nevermind. Found a post by Dadman and followed his 'compatibility' suggestion and it worked. Strange that 11.26a doesn't need this but 11.26B does... oh well.. looks like its running now and thats what matters.

Hi Xargun, please enlighten me, I have the same issue.

For the record, the v11.26b "Beta" fixes nothing. That's right, absolutely NOTHING:

I´m a bit confused. Where exactly am I to install the EXE and DLL files. From and to where, and where can I find them?

Just DL the file and do a regular install with it. The files will go where they belong....GP

Look further down in this forum to find Andy Mac's thread on the new 11.27 Beta. The first post is the latest update :

So if I hear Tokyo Rose, that means it´s installed correctly?

Not sure what Tokyo Rose has to do with it ....GP

But yes....GP

Tokyo Rose wouldn't let the game designers use her name copyright, so they call her "Orphan Anne" to call up a name that Americans would be familiar with but avoiding Annie which would put them in copyright infringement! Whatever you call her, she's just as irritating as the original!
