Update on the Alpha Test Server (formerly known as PTR)

[dahanese]

Hey guys,

If you’ve logged into your Trion account recently and checked out the “Manage Games” area. you might have seen something new. This brings me to the point of my post: I have some good news about the Alpha Test Server (formerly referred to as PTR.) The Alpha isn’t 100% fully baked yet, but we decided instead of waiting until early next week, we’d open things up for you to try out today. Please note: there are still a couple kinks we are working through – but what better way to test those than to put it in your hands for a while? So, as of today, we’ve granted access to everyone who owns Defiance on PC and has registered the game to their Trion Worlds account.

The Alpha Test Server is PC only and will require a new, separate install of the game to play. To access Alpha, login to your Trion Worlds account at defiance.trionworlds.com and select “Defiance Alpha Test” from the “Manage Games” section.

Once you get in – play away and post your feedback on the Defiance Alpha Test subforum. The server will not be up 24/7 but I’ll update everyone if we need some downtime and when we are taking the server offline for an extended period.

Update: here's the link for our draft patch notes: http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...-Draft-version!

FIRST!

About bloody time.

Be prepared to have the server swamped with every member of CORE.

I'm still getting an error when I try to launch the defiance.exe
I'll post the details on the Alliance forum.

If you get an error, please post it exactly and what you did!

Please remember that you need to install the game completely again to get into Alpha.

I'm headed down for the live stream but Morgana will be lurking.

Here's a stupid question. If we have a console version of the game can we download this test on our PCs to try it out and participate or do we have to own the PC version of the game?

You must own the PC version to access it. She posted that in the first post.

Thanks, somehow I missed that. I know you have to do it on the PC-play it, but didn't see that you had to own the PC version of the game. It says you have to access your Trion account which I have and have linked here.

At this time, it's restricted to PC only players. We'll be sure to let you know if that changes in the future!

Edit: I type slow!

dahanese,

The Alpha forums are not working at this time.

Same error that has been going on for over a week.

"C\Users\x\AppData\Local\DefianceAlphaTest\PTS\Def iance.exe
The data area passed to a system call is too small"

No one has found a way around it as far as I can tell.

This has been posted on the alpha forums since the 31st of last month :P

Hopefully you guys figure it out soon! =)
