As some of you may already be aware, we have recently been working on updating the game's code to run better on modern software and hardware. This has been a lengthy and not entirely smooth process, however, there have been results - such that we now feel comfortable testing these upgrades with a wider audience.
Today, I'm happy to announce a closed beta programme that will see new dedicated server builds distributed to server hosts and mod authors in order to test the stability and resilience of the updated codebase. We do not want to introduce instability and confusion into the general community, which is the reason why this beta is closed. We would also like to measure community interest. Once we are comfortable with the stability of our changes, they will likely be released into general availability.
Our current target audience is server hosts for larger/popular servers and mod authors working on complex scripts with a heavy server load. If you think you fall into one of these categories, please contact me in Discord at @engi.io. I am leaving this thread open for general discussion, however, please avoid off-topic posts. I remain reachable for any questions on the official Discord server for Unreal Software, in Discord DMs, and in PMs on the forum.
Thank you!
