Public Playtest 12/16

[Strygun]

UPDATE:

The cause of the pop up message telling you to register and bunk is a bad push by Launchpad. While we get it sorted so the patcher deletes it, you can do this yourself by finding ccretail.txt in your PlanetSide directory and deleting it. See you on Test

This playtest has been scheduled for today at 4pm PST. However, there is an issue with logging in to the test server at the moment. Samhayne posts this:

Hi gang,
We have version 3.2.3 up on the PlanetSide Public Test server. However, we are having reports of some difficulty logging into Public Test. If you could do me a favor, please load up Test and see if you can connect and reply back to this thread with your experience.

For those of you who haven't been on Test before, you will need to do the following steps.

1) Copy your entire PlanetSide directory. The default directory is C:\Program Files\Sony I copy the PlanetSide folder and rename it PlanetSide Test. This will take up another good 3.6 GB on your hard drive, so if you are crunched for space, don't.

2) Run the file PlanetSideTest.exe and you should patch up and connect to the Test server.
Thanks for your help!

And the playtest info:

There will be a playtest on the Public Test Server.
