::August 23, 2002 - BUILD NOTES::

We have performed a minor patch to the AC2 Beta. Please read on for details.

At a high level, this new version of Beta changed the following:

Crashes fixed, which allow us to try to raise the population limit closer to 3000, and which will lead to longer uptimes.

Faster update times on the "snowy scene" screen.

You are less likely to get authorization errors.

Notable bugs are same as those which remained in the last major update:

Though there are more copies of the Training Hall, there may be significant crowding with everyone making new characters. So please try to grab one weapon, one orb, and keep moving through quickly.

Instead of going from level 7 to level 8, you go straight to level 9! Unfortunately, you then have twice as far to go to level 10. So level 10 will seem to take a very long time to reach. But at least now you have the extra vitals and skill credits to show for it.

If you find that your cursor turns plain white, you may have an error dialog popped up behind the game window. You may be able to press ESC and continue. By playing in windowed mode (press ALT-Enter), these dialog will pop over the game screen where you can see them.

We still have some crashes on the client. We think that playing with shadows set to Simple or Off may help avoid these.

We still have some server crashes. Fixes are on the way.

Play can still get slow or "laggy" at high populations or when bugs kick in.

Some Vaults and dungeons are still difficult or impossible to play through.
