WildWest Public Beta Released!

We are aware of a minor issue with the spawn flags in the Mine map, but other than that, we think all major bugs or issues have been fixed.

PLEASE NOTE*** This is a public beta, and as such, there will most likely be at least one more build required to call it "done". The version is pretty much in its final form, and no other major changes will be made.

What you see is what you get.

Some new maps are included: Macho Grande, BoulderDash, and Mountain Assault. The Mine map has also returned to the rotation.

You can now shove another player using the Use/Activate key (same key as used to open doors).

A volley gun head shot will gib the other player.

The /kill command has a 3-5 second delay on it, so don't wait till the last second for flag respawn purposes.


The Windows installer can be found here:

http://www.the-wildwest.com/files/be...West1_1613.exe

The Linux Zip file can be found here:

http://www.the-wildwest.com/files/be..._Linux_mac.zip

These are full install builds, and are over 200MB, so please allow enough time to download them. If you wish to be able to play both Version 1.5 and Version 1.6, then you will need to make a copy of your 1.5 Return to Castle Wolfenstein/WildWest and install the 1.6 version into the copy, leaving your existing 1.5 version intact.

If you use the zip file, make sure you unzip it into your Return to Castle Wolfenstein folder, NOT your WildWest folder. If you unzip it into your WildWest folder, it will make another WildWest folder inside of the existing one, and you will get an Invalid Game Folder error when you try to join the server!

Some players have reported experiencing problems joining the server due to PunkBuster issues. A zip file containing the latest and greatest PunkBuster files can be downloaded here:

http://www.the-wildwest.com/files/PunkBuster/pb.zip

Extract the files into your existing PB folder and you shoud be able to join the server.

The Public Beta servers can be found at:

European servers - 217.115.204.204:27960

81.169.149.208:33333
0r

American server - 67.15.21.118:27960

If you experience any problems with the zip file or Windows installer, please post in this thread.



Thanks

Iggy

Ignacio , Queeg,Hewster,Rosie,Angel,Dragon...

might a bug fix list since testing beta be option ?.....so people can verify that its actually working so people can make some feedback?

i know mayor issues are not gonna be changed but in dragons case of the 1.6 testing with screenies , could it be usefull instead of finding leaks so when u release it no other "additional" problems are an issue? / might stick in a public beta feedback "hint"
