Hey everyone,

On Saturday September 24th we are looking to gather a group of CQC players with beta access to test the 2.2 build of CQC.

The major goal of the exercise is to avoid the situation that occurred with 2.1, where CQC launched with major game breaking bugs because they were not caught in beta. Remember those super overpowered heat beams that took two months to fix? How about that problem that is still the bane of our collective existences where bugged lobbies leave us waiting to start a match even with a full room? If only we had caught those things in the 2.1 beta!

Well, now the 2.2 beta is here, and the hope is that we can give the CQC module a good going over this Saturday, and identify any major bugs that may need fixing before 2.2 rolls out to everyone.

Of course, until bots are added [hint hint Fdev], we can’t play CQC by ourselves, so this is where we need your help. If you have beta access and want to help us test, please let us know below and come join us this Saturday.

We will start at 12 pm EST/ 5pm BST on Saturday September 24th. At the moment, we are looking at making it a two hour session, but we will see how it goes. If we’re having fun, we may just keep playing.

We will use discord to stay in touch and coordinate while we play. Here is the link to the server:

Testing deathmatch will require a minimum of 4 players, while testing team deathmatch will require a minimum of 6. The bigger the group the better however, so we hope that you can join us! At the very least it will be fun, and we will be saving ourselves a heap of annoyance and frustration in the future if we help start 2.2 with a clean, smoothly working build of CQC!

How to participate:

On Saturday September 24th at 12 pm EST/ 5pm BST join the discord (https://discord.gg/JCMShJg) for coordination information and chat, and log into CQC (Arena) on the beta build!

Post any bugs that you may find here:https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php/105-PC-Mac-Bug-Reports and then post the link to the bug into this thread, so that we know what has already been logged and we don’t waste time repeating the same bugs.

Have fun!
