Another Beta before release?

1 week to go (if the 25th is certain).  Do you think there will be a Beta 3 before then?

No...

ugh, was it not already quasi confirmed? I read blair saying last week that 'a patch won't be coming this week, but early next week' or sth like. and also saw something of patchnotes or buildes or sth sent to SD.

besides, it's digital retail, they could probably still tweak little things until close to release.

Yeah, I've been checking impulse and kept on checking in hopes for the beta 3... Well, it does not take too long anyway...

i'm 99.9% sure there will be a beta 3.

it has been mentioned quite a few times in the forums and my guess it's either beeing released today or tomorrow ;)

Yeah. Blair just had to take some extra time to put in that "crash if sirphoenix is playing" thing.

str_replace("sirphoenix","Annatar99",$allchars);

I hope there is one, i'd like to test the Orkulus' anti starbase capability, but the game minidumps, when the starbase under construction comes under attack.

THAT"S what happened!?  Thanks ToJKa.  We had a mini dump during a MP game, and I remember it was exactly when my starbase was being attacked (while it was under contruction).  But I never thought about that being the reason for the mini-dump.  We did send in the dump-file though.

Yeah, IC acknowledged it, should be fixed in beta 3. :)

yeah, it is. my hope is that since they really don't like releasing on fridays and the final is due next week and they probably want it for weekend, because that's when many people have time to play, we may yet see sth. after all, blair posted that it's basically ready except for some ICO features ... but then, it's always that last bit that makes the most trouble.
