@trail orbit Intrepid client or Steam download?
interpid
Lmfao
I tried buying some of the in-game shop items with embers. After clicking to buy my selected items, it said I already owned the items even though I don't and my embers haven't depleted. Any help?
I find 4 what's the other 2
@ionic magnet I would just hold off on buying anything as this is a very short temporary test with progress not being saved
Save it for the next test
@trail orbit Try running the installer again and selecting "Repair"
@ionic magnet I'm thinking you get to visit https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/apoc-bug-reports -- Ember purchases specifically are going through testing today
Lol it magically fixed itself
Okay well I just spent actual money on this so
@arctic sky Make sure you arent logged in, set those 4, save, re-open, check if it defaulted back, change again etc.
nice!
Lmfao
@ionic magnet and customer service if something went really wrong ;p
And the line I changed went poof
@trail orbit had the same thing
@ionic magnet If you've purchased the embers that's fine, I'd just honestly wait on buying the actual cosmetics with them
I uninstalled the game installed thru steam had the same thing
They'll still be there next test
sadly only found 4 bugs before logging off well gtg anyways bye
then veryfid game files thru steam and it redownloaded the game again
and then it worked ;D
It was fullscreen mode = 0
I changed it to 1
Now it worked great and the line went poof
is there a way tochange the settings in a file ?
i want to change move forward but its blocked
Oh I restarted the game and now have all my stuff
some other ui part is blocking the ability to change the move forward keybind
any fix ?
@misty agate Chane your resolution, try swapping between windowed and fullscreen
should bring those missing input settings back
when its scuad
No ETA
I have tried that but no luck yet
I've been Qing up with a duo for more than a hour on the EU and US servers, is there any known issue for why it takes so long or just no one is playing right now? (AOC-APOC)
Duos aren't up is why
ill let you know which combination might work
IT's only solos right now, and squads sometime later today
@mortal gazelle Duo does not work
Duos not work?
Duos are not up today, no
the high jump doesn't work xd
Solos only right now, and squads later
Thanks for the help guys π
@twin wren Are you looking up when you do it?
You can start charging super jump while looking straight, but you must look up when you release
are Duo Queque working?
:/
I try running the installer and repair it but it still wrong
Is Squads mode up?
Still doing solos @crystal beacon
what could i do to fix this? Please Help @tight gale
if i choose not to preorder a founders edition now, can I still buy the founders editions after launch? or will there be a different way to buy the game?
Is there a way to leave parties?
@velvet wyvern if you mean after the launch of the mmorpg, then no. The game isn't a buy to play game, it's a sub based game
How come I lost my badges on the forums
I used to have the two year badge and the badge for being on the OG forums
so you can't buy the cosmetic stuff you get for preordering later after release?
But I don't have them anymore
Are EU only queues broken? or just slow?
how do I download the game to test?
ye now it works for me too now I can get killed by teaming ;D
it's on steam aswell @tranquil zodiac
@silent cliff The Forums relaunched a few months ago, Survivor of the original forum badges are gone, but the KS badges / a variety of other badges should be available
oh okay thanks
yey the teaming people won
@tranquil zodiac https://ashesofcreation.com/launcher/latest or can use Steam if your NA
ty @twin wren
Is duo mode working?
Only solo queues are running atm
@silent cliff Do you see your relevant KS badges if you have them. The other ones like tagging someone and number of likes and such have to be re-earned.
How are people going into a stealth mode?
@fluid lark You don't atm - you'll need to use installer from Intrepids website and not Steam atm - https://ashesofcreation.com/launcher/latest
I think the server crashed again...
you have the same problem?
Yep...
How do I heal!?
wait
You can only heal with potions, the Lifebringer's effect, or by killing someone
can we get duos π΅
@queen flame Yes
or squads like the patch notes said
No duos today, Solos now squads later
What time will squads be up?
No ETA yet
We are focusing on getting some issues solidified so solos is the best way for us to do that for now. 
We'll let everyone know if/when squads open up.
@fluid lark Like Greypelt said, no. You'll need the Intrepid launcher https://ashesofcreation.com/launcher/latest
@fluid lark just login after that error
When i want to go fullscreen, it says i gotta accept or i'll go out of fullscreen in 60 seconds, but it does not let me click on "Submit"
How can i go fullscreen?
:c
@fluid lark I had the same error I just clicked close and bam login done
as in write your account info and login
Are we getting some squad action, that's the question
@twin wren thanks
will I be able to link the accounts in the future though? I've purchased the packs over at my.com and I can't use that to log in
no clue this is a 12 h test so
yea no worries and thanks again
ye have fun
If you purchased through my.com, you should be able to play through their account flow @fluid lark . Are you not able to?
(I don't handle my.com stuff, but I can definitely forward along feedback.)
how to squad up
Did EU die for anyone else?
when can i squad up
Later today, Margaret will make an announcement
ok....?
I just dcd
someone know how to go on option file pls? i can't acces since the game :/
Yeah, if we do squads, we'll let everyone know.
Where's a good place to put my thoughts and bug reports down?
@tight gale it logs me in to my Intrepid account automatically now.
Forums @brisk cliff
Should I be able to see the embers that came with the pack when I log in?
From Steam @fluid lark ?
when do we get other mode im little tired of battle royale genre
Toast and I manage the Intrepid side of things, not My.com. 
Their support page for you @fluid lark https://support.my.com/games/kb/AoC/
Thanks, sorry for the random questions.
@fluid lark I think I heard that the accounts are not yet fully linked, but I am no my.com employee so you should probably ask them
anyone getting a patching failed error check logs
Any chance the testing can continue for another day so I may get chance to participate after work??
both my av and firewall are disabled so dunno why id be gettin that
Alright so this is really confusing but do i disable motionblur if its in this "Disable Motion Blur: True" or "Disable Motion Blur: False" ?
True
good good thanks
@peak dagger Your 'Patching Failed error' What does it say after that? A variety of Patching Failed errors exist
@stable plover Thank you.
Can anyone help me with that? I can't find where I can link these two accounts
@queen shale You need to use Launcher from Intrepid website, not steam outside of NA - The accounts can't be linked yet
@tulip hatch i solved the error, had to run the client exe as admin
its now patching
Well it didn't say that on the Steam FAQ...
I only read this
So, sometimes when I run ashes, I get an "error 32" and other times when I run it, it can load into the game and everything works, except my cursor presents to the top and to the right of where it actually clicks, and it makes the game unplayable because I can't get into the settings. Anyone else had this issue and know what to do?
@queen shale If you just wanted to test for today, you could make a new account with Intrepid since todays progress isn't carrying over anyway
@hushed smelt can you press 0 to access your settings menu in-game to adjust your resolution?
Already uninstalled it now
@hushed smelt Possibly try this https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/257283936756039680/613485273153798196
When official standar release of apoc will be? Will be free?
anywhere to leave feedback ?
When attempting to log in from the ashes launcher I am getting Authentication Failed. Do I need to use steam?
@atomic violet APOC will continue to be F2P and separate from MMO in business model
@fierce stone Make sure your running as Administrator
@fierce stone Are you using a client from before yesterday?
how do i use horse
Yes I am using a client I downloaded a while ago
I asked this in General but it's probably better here. I'm stuck in a loop where my client keeps restarting. This is what I see:
is friend list working?
@ocean hemlock If your using a client older than the one from yesterday you need to perform a clean uninstall and DL the new one - the old one can't be updated
can't add nor invite my friends
Is squads just dependent on servers doing what they're supposed to?
10-4 - Thank you!
@brisk vapor I think the friends list was supposed to be working - you might try asking around a bit and possibly filing out a bug report (or maybe feedback if something unintuitive is going on)
Thanks! just checking, will try again and fill a report if it's not working
@calm dagger Only Solo Queues are going atm
they only have solo working atm
Tea leaves?
@calm dagger Ah, Intrepid mentioned we might be testing it tonight, So I'd guess time + Intrepid working out something on their end
So solid maybe. Gotcha. π
Personally, I'm super excited to try open world stuffs instead of BR
Lemme have a class ffs!
And the plan for the playtest windows? TBD?
@normal fog Gotta wait for the actual alphas and betas π
This little taste is addictive as hell
@calm dagger Future play sessions are TBD
200-300ms hurts my brain for meele battle royals
sooo uhh I'm like above 50% freeze rate at this point per game
anything I'm supposed to do to make it less bad
π
@cinder gyro Intrepid still wants more information on Freezing issues, so probably head on over to the bug report thread https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/apoc-bug-reports
idk what's there to report, seems random
They at least want to know which version of the game your using steam or web
kk
If we dont have all our keybinds available how do we unlock them?
@spring fractal try resetting your keybinds to default!
Should I quit the game and relog after?
So how do I pull the griffon out?
I figured out how to do the jump, but not the griffon
still looking for the sandal shrine π¦
@brisk isle B for bird!
@iron gorge it's there I promise π
@spring fractal if you don't see the keybind options after that, yes please!
Looks like friend list is not working
what does holding ctrl do?
giga jump
not giga, noooo
How do you actually execute the jump?
@copper ledge make sure you're aimed up in the sky, then once it's fully charged (circle is the biggest), release Ctrl to leap!
Found some horses that show E to mount. But won't mount. Not implimented yet?
@brisk cliff E collects it, H mounts it!
@copper ledge we'll keep you updated in #web-maintenance
The Quarriors @simple ether *
@iron gorge yes, you can find horses around the map, and you can also resummon your gryphon if you're high enough from the ground!
thats a good addition
Still recieving Authentication Fail error are they gonna get thisfixed ? still have not been able to test
Are duos active? I've been searching for 10 minutes.
@paper cedar I tagged you in the other channel - can you please share a screenshot of the error?
@peak ravine no, only Solos is active at the moment!
Ty
when is the squad mode expected ?
So why didn't my game automatically put H as my horse summon?
Can't seem to find it in hotkey settings
all H does is make my equipment bar disappear
Reset your keybinds to default, its an error that occurs
that should fix the h hot key issue
Are the cosmetics in the beta exclusive when this game launches?
Estimate on squad mode launch?
so some of these guys dropping in already with 50+ armor have bought their armor?
@brisk cliff what do you mean by "50+ armor"?
@fathom karma the latest will always be in #web-maintenance !
Landed next to a guy where we melee'd... I died. Then looking at his screen his repairing his armor back up to over 50
So he didn't have time to find armor
nobody brings any armor or weapons into the match
he had to have found it in the match
those are only cosmetic
Like I mentioned, as it's a battle royale, you enter the match with literally nothing other than your bronze axe
No idea then
Is getting kicked back to the lobby with no error mid match a thing?
Happened to me twice.
@vestal token a few other folks have reported that as well, ty for the heads up!
Will the display name change feature reflect in AoC full release?
is duos up
duos were never part of this test
dang
squads were mentioned but not delivered
We may turn squads on, but we are trying to solve a freeze/crash bug right now and solo queueing is helping us find it.
Did the server cap at 50?
@brisk cliff there used to be a bug where you could bring items from the lobby area
But that was fixed and I havenβt tried to replicate this test
CAN WE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE A THUNDER VOLUME OR LOWER IT 20 DECIBLES
^thats a question right
how well hidden is the sandal shrine
Can we rotate the camera?
@high blade Share that feedback with us on the forums please!
@iron gorge very, apparently, as it hasn't been found yet π
@storm raptor nope at the moment your camera is locked behind you π
is there another way to give feedback? sorry for the lazyness, justnot a huge fan of forums
You are free to discuss and provide feedback in the normal conversation channels, however the forum thread is where most of the focus is and unlike live chat, they wont be swept away by conversation.
So quick question. Will the game have something outside of battle royale at some point?
@devout ridge Apocalypse also has Siege mode and Horde mode scheduled for testing in the future as well!
@tulip hatch makes sense, just ntot a huge fan of forums, altho it makes sense, just my opinion, however i love the game, and will definatly play when it gets released, only thing i can say i disliked was the way your stamina gets depleted way too quickly. i focus on melee when i play mmorpg games, and the stamina depletion made it an obstacle i had to play around, and in my opinion made the combat a bit frustrating at times, although i understand that removing it would make it into a repetative hack and slash, it's just that the stamina feels more than a hinderance than a factor you need to take into consideration like other games have. good job to everyone who's worked on this game, it's amazing and i loved it, this would just be the one thing that i "didn't like" keep up the good work!
I'll have to wait for that then to see if I like it. Battle Royale is a huge turnoff for my twitch community. If i stream the game it'll turn most people off since its been so overused. I'll keep watching for other mode testing.
@high blade @velvet wyvern https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/42864/feedback-thread-august-20-play-test#latest Check out the feedback thread
@velvet wyvern The combat in Apoc is not a true representation of the MMO combat
ah, ok, my bad. cause i havent really padid attention until an email in my imbox this morning told me about todays beta, is there perheaps a youtube video that shows it?
On status on concurrent players? Matches seem to have 30 or less right now :/
@velvet wyvern We have not seen the iteration of the hybrid combat yet. We had classic mmo tab in the A0 last year. This testing is for the action side. Later they will meld into their planned hybrid.
are the servers still up?
are duo's working?
I don't think I've ever had so many freezes today, I've just had 2 crashes beginning of both games in a row
or is it only solo?
@proper kite Solos only for now. Squads possibly later. Duos not available this test.
ah ok
@ruby swift thank you for clearing that up for me
i get servers are currently down, but the website says operational
i can not log in on the game launcher. i get authentication failed. but i can log into the web page just fine.
People are playing right now, might just be on your end
@finite harness are you sure you have the right client?
@patent pelican can you share a screenshot please?
is there more then one?
I had a similar issue, i had the previous APOC installed and it was interfering with the new loader
@primal solar that directed at me?
@finite harness Did you playtest with us previously?
no
sorry, @finite harness
Can you please share a screenshot @finite harness of the error?
I thought it is a MMORPG ...
This is a testing platform to test the backend systems
This is part of the journey to the MMORPG
Did squads ever happen?
@patent pelican Do you have a launcher from before yesterday?
So is squads coming online this test? do we know yet?
@faint warren not yet
:/
@ruby swift Thank you :3
^^
I have it via Steam
@vagrant aspen squads was still a maybe as of 30 min ago, Solo queues are helping them hunt down a freezing bug
My fire wall was containerizing the game upon launcher hence the no server error
i am in now
how do you equip the horse ?
are wait times supposed to be 5 hours long?
Like mount it? default key is H
If you do not see an H key or H hides your UI reset keybinds to default
Stardino it depends on the server youre on, NA queues are less than a minute
what about the super jump thing ?
hold ctrl and look up while the circle becomes larger
Press ctrl and then look to the sky
@stark pike If you are qued for duos or squads then yes. Try NA people getting 1 min pops atm
Solo only
When will Squad queues be open?
No idea. They have said they are working on it. If they turned it on and people just froze everytime, nobody would be happy.
alright good to know thank you
so squad queuing doesnt work
I can't move or do anything after repairing armor?
are these ember things only during this test period?
Yes, solo only atm. Squads caused a freezing bug in the beginning so they were turned off while they fix that issue.
@raven grotto nope, those are your real Embers! the Compendium during this test is temporary though π
@raven grotto The ones you were given. Yes. All progress will be wiped. Embers is the cosmetic shop currency for APOC and the MMO.
Wait, we get free embers
got 5 embers suure
we get to keep the 5?
yes the whole 5
WhooooHOoooo, Im rich!
The whole 5 
so backers dont get any embers to play around with .. we gotta buy more stuff π
If I had known I was gonna get free embers I might have actually downloaded the client this time. π’
Nah, Im good. Like to keep my balance in nice round numbers.
It is when you have the odd number balance when the gremlins get ya
You qued duos and got in. Congrats, you found a bug.
Someone said it was against the rules to unofficially squad up in single play. Is that so?
I don't see how it could ever be prevented
They have said so in the past, but then again, they have said lately that anything they said in the past doesnt count, so π€·
You cant prevent it but if youre seen it can be reported and consequences will follow
I got ganked a lot by duos. Oh well
if you see them please try to get their names with screen shots if youre able and submit a support ticket
submit their names to allu and she will personally gank them 
(video is even better if you have it!)
video is always best
Cursor is way off on the menus. Tried to reinstall but no fix. Any suggestions? Iβm hovering over Adventure Path on the top and itβs toggling Shop
try changing your video to windowed and adjust resolution
you can access the video settings screen by pressing 0
(zero)
I think 0 only works in match?
@winged olive Oh and please leave info about your monitor and original resolution settings in the bug report thread https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/apoc-bug-reports
How much longer for SEA servewrs?
@tight rain Unknown, they are talking to Steam about it.
Thanks unknown β€
so under my account and order history.. i see amount spent but i dont really see what that got me.. i see additional details and its like originatior and currency
so the embers i use are gone but i dont keep stuff i bought?
You should see your items in inventory @raven grotto
in game or
o. O i see shop profile home account logout O. O i dont see an inventory
nvm
i found it
i feel dumb
lol its ok, it can be sneaky
how do I fix this?
Is it just me or does the combat feel incredibly clunky?
It may be clunky please leave feedback so the team knows where to improve on
@crystal beacon what launcher are you using?
there is a steam launcher
intrepid launcher via the website
and a older intrepid launcher
did you play the game before today?
yea
is the test over gamers?
game is down?
Have you completely uninstalled the previous launcher?
Patch incoming?
Tests shouldnt be over yet, some servers have slower queue times
NA queues are currently the fastest
would be if they where actually up
There was an in-game message about match making being down? Can't queue
man i got pages o stuff and none of it is useable in this fun test π when they making these item bundles
they havent updated server status
yup!
After it finishes, is it gonna be squads?
I hope yes
Will have to wait till squads is announced
does this mean we can't login for 20 mins I'm confused
Are duos just down or are they disabled for this test, I was playing earlier but couldnβt get a Q
only solos are active
Ok thank
Squads = how many people again?
4
4
42
27
no idea why i typed that π
but i do have a question , how to get mmo access ?
ok
isnt the 88 thing a neonazi code? Hmmm....going to have to take a hard look at Lex's social media.
will the mmo be on steam then?
they will announce when its ready to test
no idea, i just drunkenly typed a number π
Hahaha
@crystal beacon probably not
first day i heard this game, and i fell in love with the scenery and game style but in for mmo , not battle royale
Yeah, 8th letter is H, the say 88 for HH...you get the rest.
yeah i hear you, but br is just a testing phase
im hanging out for the mmo myself. a few of us got a beautiful taste of it in alpha 0
it was amazing
even 2 years ago!
I pick up the horse but how can I use it? what button is it?
88+ means good music in thai chat rooms π
H @small socket
thanks!
B for birb
H for horseh

Why installer force to install Nvidia drivers even for Ryzen+Radeon PC?
Result for me in lost my PC for 5 hours until I found a friend with Nvidia graphic card to run my system in safemode.
oh shit. thanks for the warning. magically picked my intel/nvidia system to play on first
all my other systems are AMD
Restart supposedly took care of the freezing issue. Do we get squad if it seems to remain fine?
will the apocalypse open again after 11pm pdt?
what do u mean by after
maybe tomorrow
I doubt they would do that so soon
think they said september
maybe next week or september
roger, thanks man
Is duos or squads up?
no
Thanks
this game has insane fps problems.
new patch broke my client =(
@arctic sky What error are you getting?
@solar forge
It's an alpha test for quality, if your getting fps drops your best to go to forums and put your specs and the severity, locations, and whats going on when its happening.
Stuck at this screen
yeah i got that screen it restarted and now broken
After the 4th restart im capable of go to lobby
is duo and squads working?
No
Only Solo is running atm
Is anyone else unable to look up/down or is it just me?
I've noticed that apocalypse is on steam, i cant figure out how to get a steam key for myself, i don't want to play the battle royale at all i just want it on my steam list. how do i go about getting the key? i'm in the alpha 1 testing phase i just don't know where to get my code.
@copper plume I would guess your vertical mouse sensitivity got set to 0
It was set to -0.1 when I got on. I can only set it to that or 0. hmm
@violet swan I think you'd just act like you were going to install it from steam?
this is the error i got after it patched and restarted
@stark pike The Singapore server is down
@arctic sky I just had that problem. I seemed to have fixed it. Need to threaten to delete the game folder, then I re-launched the install from the "downloads" folder (I didn't move it), and clicked the "repair" button. For whatever reason, that seemed to fix it and restore it.
Also - I looked at the FAQ page and went in to the Unreal Engine 4 setup area and ran the intial set up (took like 2 seconds)
Don't think that actually did anything... but that's what I did... then delete it, then repaired, and it works now.
+1000000000 DKP for looking at the FAQ
=( it was all workign FINE until the patch

@dim shuttle https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/42864/feedback-thread-august-20-play-test#latest - you should leave feedback here
Seems like I'm unable to join a game. I've been queued up many times now and i just get kicked out of the queue and have to click play again after a while. idk any1 else have this?
@dim shuttle make sure you're equipping your armor, and note that items have different rarity levels where they do more damage! red is strongest, then yellow, then blue π
I'll report it on the forums if so.
Question: my brother is changing his settings on the apoc open beta and after he tries to change settings hes game goes green and flashing. any idea on why?
Can post image if needed.
sure
@sacred dune Please have him update his graphics drivers!
okay
@plucky pawn Oh I see, I had it all wrong. I thought there was something lower than blue, and I also thought Yellow was higher than Red (to me it looked gold, so I thought Gold = best, I am colorblind afterall) Lol. Thanks for the tips!
Ah, I can see how that might be confusing - that's excellent feedback to share in our forum thread either way!
Will do!
anyone who's ever played evil characters knows that red is the best π 
yeah, I saw that earlier when a red was directly on top of a blue, @fathom karma
Nah, the true evilis dark purple.
Fair
any1 else never getting in to a game?
@vagrant aspen warlock?
How long have you waited?
been in a queue since the new patch was out
well i did restart teh game once but ye
still in queue
which region(s) do you have selected?
EU
When is the next test, since this one closes in 3 hours
no idea yet
EU servers off? I cant even queue up anymore
When i click play it just instantly cancels my queue
When i was able to queue i was in the queue for like 30 min and nothing happened tho. so i restarted and now i cant even queue
Try queue NA
I'll try another restart
im still having the UE4 error
@knotty tiger well definately fill this out https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/apoc-bug-reports -- Do you have a firewall / VPN that could be stopping the traffic (although then I wouldn't expect you to get to lobby)
tried reinstalling it even
aight now i can queue
Idk what might have caused it but yeah its aight now. hope i get in to a game before 30 mins passes again.
@arctic sky Okay maybe try this - Open the Task Manager, click on Details and kill all tasks matching βIntrepid Studios Launcher.exeβ, βAPOC-Win64-Shipping.exeβ, and βPatcher.exeβ. Restart launcher
those werent there
anyone else getting past the app crash after the last patch?
man my pc is trash LOL
tried to do the repair from the installer, still no go
lol which crash you gettting?
Assertion failed: [File:Unknown] [Line: 4232] Trailing magic number (0d) in '../../../APOC/Content/Paks/pakchunk10-WindowsClient.pak' is different than the expected one. Verify your installation.
i had one crash the first time i ran it, then ran perfectly
Did you completely close out Steam and restart it?
not on steam
not using steam
yes
yeah
same
is there a manual process to kick off the updater outside the game?
I'm late to gaming tonight so i'm not sure if the question was asked and answered but can you turn off in game voice chat?
its this stupid error still btw
when I try to run 'C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios, Inc\Apocalypse\Engine\Binaries\Win64\APOC_Updater.exe' , I get:
Should i be queing for duo with my brother? all the other modes are grey
Thanks again to everyone who sent me details. Again, our engineer is looking into the patch issue.
@sacred dune only queue for solos please.
you can only queue for solos
You can hit the "X" under your character to leave a Party.
ok
I was having fun too π
i found a perfect hiding spot no one sees
lol
not even the server sees it
Hey @pearl cliff ! Can you restart your client, patch and try again?
Want to test a fix they just did. 
can do
I still get the crash
all i get is the loading splash and then crash

game client doesn't launch
And you're on the Intrepid Launcher downloaded from the web?

correct, the intrepid launcher
working perfect now!!
Awesome to hear @iron jacinth
π
Lol

Lol
@pearl cliff can you close your client.
Delete the .patcher in your game folder.
It's typically in this folder
C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios, Inc\Apocalypse
Then relaunch.
will do
so squad is still not active?
Nope. Not yet Riley. We might not do Squads tonight because we are trying to resolve some issue. 
(Dont want to add more variables.
)
@tight gale same crash as above
ok π
Thanks. Will let them know.
π
amen on that @tight gale solo is coming along slowing but it is ! just give it time guys its gonna work soon
@tight gale Ok, i've made some progress and I've gotten the client to launch
hey, are the graphics really bad for everyone even at epic settings?
i renamed the 'pakchunk10-WindowsClient.pak' file that the crash report said there was an issue with and it looks like the in-game patcher is re-downloading it
@arctic sky ill let you know if it works
@pearl cliff can you pls reset my password π

I'm sure you've seen this a lot by now...
But the launcher is giving me huge issues. Steam AND download from main site.
I've followed the advice, and re-installed 4 times now. It's the same issue, and I don't understand.
Have anyone of you managed to find a way around it?
@lilac parrot looks like you're missing some DX9 files!
@lilac parrot h/o one sec, there's an .exe you can run from the game folders that's a UE4 installer prerequisite, and it makes sure you have all the necessary components like DX9 π
It'd be awkward if this laptop didn't have the ability to run DX9
Not an ability, just a missing file seems like! Okay - it's called out in our Known Issues list here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/42863/known-issues-august-20-play-test#latest
If this occurs, please run the file named UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe located at <Steam Folder>\Ashes of Creation APOC\WindowsClient\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us
^ that should get your DX files set up properly π
@arctic sky and @tight gale π im back in
yes, nuke bad file, get new good file!
usually better if you do it through verifying files though, vs. deleting stuff manually π just to be cautious
Thank you Lieutenant Toast! You had me worried for a moment when you mentioned DX9. Warframe phased out support, didn't quite understand it, but I could still play it, so I thought I was in the clear. 
pff repair and shit wasnt working.. im fine with nuking at this point
@plucky pawn I tried the repair from the installer, didn't work
@arctic sky mine was in C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios, Inc\Apocalypse\APOC\Content\Paks\
well shoot π¦ let's keep trying stuff and figure out what will work!
yeah, nuking is my last go to
Yeah, Toast - Mark is looking into the issue too.
How do i link my previous test account's items that i unlocked to my actual account which I am in the game with currently?
@tight gale I still have a backup of the bad file if some there wants it?
always make a backup lol π
@clear obsidian all the items in this test are temporary anyways
@clear obsidian when you first were prompted for your Intrepid credentials, did you sign in using the ones you had used previously?
(and are you able to tab through your Armory and see what you have unlocked?)
Well at least I can patch now!
π π
So the apoc beta isnt avaliable to download for macbook?
only pc
*windows PC
:((
Huh...
Is Unreal Engine 4 sponsored by Epic Games or something?
This is indeed the prereq.exe I was pointed towards, in the Apoc folder of my games. I got in from the main website, so there wasn't a steam folder to go flip through
In either case, the .exe read that set-up was successful, and the launcher now ... launches... in the event someone else has this issue. Thank you for your help @plucky pawn
@clear obsidian ahh okay, if things you had bought/unlocked previously appear to be missing from your in-game armory, please open a support ticket so we can investigate further!
Please don't go poke OldPort. He once told me how Margaret likes poking him. 
@plucky pawn I went on the AOC website and found the items i unlocked from the previous test in my inventory
@lilac parrot UE4 is developed by Epic Games, yes! Glad to hear it worked for ya π
Noted. Have a wonderful day.
@clear obsidian ah, can you please DM me a screenshot of something in your inventory, and then where in your Armory it doesn't show as unlocked?
Do we lose the embers we have or are they being reset?
@late inlet your Embers are your Embers to keep!
so if i spend them now will the be reset for future uses just curious
How do you show ping in game?
nope @late inlet !
are these appearences temporary or special
@quasi kestrel right now there's no way to do so, except from the main menu!
For example i used some on the adventure path bnut the adventure poath doesnt work
The Adventure Path for this playtest is just a temporary sample path that only grants EXP rewards!
I understand but my point remains are they emebers spent on it wasted now?
It should only cost 1 Ember to unlock! And we give you 5 for logging in, to test out the path with us π
itt took way more than that from me
but I also was unable to unlock like 35 tiers
disregard it says level 50
Your adventure path should still be unlocked when the non-test adventure path returns
Should I already be level 50?
@plucky pawn I actually have everything there, i just thought that i unlocked one of the other hairstyles from the previous adventure path.
Did you use your Embers to unlock all the way up to Level 50 during this test?
yes
(I think they're artificially set at 1 for testing?)
nah toast you can purchase embers in the test and spend them in the test to level your adventure path
Yeah, but I think it's only 1 Ember per level.
not yet afaik
so just solos atm?>
A: Solo and Squad game modes of Battle Royale will be available for play on our North American (East), European (Central), and Asian (Singapore) servers.
FYI
they are working on squads still
any source this is directly from their page saying squads is available were sitting in q now would be nice to know if we should nt be
ty!
why can't I get the weapon i choose at the lobby area to carry into the game? the armor I choose goes in, just not the weapon
thats just a preview math
in a br you have to collect the weapons and armor you need
@vast matrix thats just the skin of the weapon and what it will look like when youFIND it in game and pick it up
then why does it let us spend our embers on it if it's not going to work?
I see squads aren't working but I don't see duo's mentioned are they working?
to change your weapon skin in game
some peeps like to do that
its a preference thing
anyone know how much longer the servers will be up?
until 11pm PDT
90 mins
^
that's what I'm saying, it doesn't carry into the game. the weapon skin is always the 1 handed axe. the armor skin can be changed, but not the weapon
@vast matrix You have to find the weapon that matches the weapon skin in game
So If you equip a glowing blue Greatsword weapon skin in the lobby, if you find a greatsword in game it'll have the glowing blue effect
i click save in the armory, but it doesn't seem to save. I choose the blue crossbow, click save. it says equipped, then when i load into game it's the i handed axe skin still
oh
ok I understand now. thank you
Can you get horses or are there just a symbol in game for them for the future?
@clear obsidian you can ride the horses, I think it's F to get the horse when you find one channeled, and then H to use the horse
ok thanks, is there a specific spot which almost always has them?
probably, but I don't really know where they are π
are there any benefits to reaching level 50?
apart from big e peen?
@stoic flower Whenever the non-test path comes back the levels have various cosmetics -- The normal level 50 cosmetic is the black breastplate cosmetic
(I'm getting sleepy so someone else can describe it better ;p )
I apprecaite the response π
Will Battle Royale be a game mode in the final version of AoC MMO? Or is it something specific for testing?
@fathom sky I think it's intended that it stays as a separate launcher, probably continues at same time as MMO, and has cosmetics that cross between them
What are rules on teaming :^)
I see people teaming .__.
@elder terrace Don't in solos - can send videos to CS
Yeah I will. Thank you β€
is there visual queues that are in plain sight if you're close to the Sandal Shrine that supposedly exists?
i was just looking through the reviews on steam, sheesh
Yeah it's best not to. They aren't the brightest bunch
dont want to shill, but leave a review whatever your experience
it was pretty depressing @desert ivy
That's why I asked. One of the biggest criticisms (on Steam) is being Battle Royale.
the thing is, if they released a mmo in this state for open testing they would be roasted alive, so i guess its better to use a br to gather their data
How long till the servers close down? π
how do I use the health potion?
Activate it the same way you put on items
i have it in slot 4 I hot 4 and nothing happens
you have to stand still while drinking it
@vast matrix hold rightmouse button down
@vast matrix press 4 then hold left click
tyes
ahhh ok
left sorry not right
@vast matrix That's also how you equip armors
Iβm unable to click on play or settings or anything I think I need to change the screen size but im not sure how to do that. My mouse isnβt matching up to why I have it over if that makes sense. Like I have to have my mouse above away what ever I need to click on.
press 0, which will bring up the video config, then try to move your mouse around to select windowed mode
that's how i solved it
screen rexsolution
While in or out of game?
in game
0 only works in match
then there is a config file you can edit but its a little confusing
not sure if anyone has written a guide on it yet
@supple reef try this https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/257283936756039680/613485273153798196
^ prefect
If I buy the fire griffin, will it transfer to the mmo?
yes
The skin does, you'd still have to get a griffin in MMO
(not sure how specific a winged gliding thing it has to attach to)
@fading smelt also if your eyeing the single purchase griffin skin I'd recommend taking a look at the griffin skin from legendary path
i dont see skins in the paths is that supposed to happen
Today's path is just a 'test' but the 'real' path should return 'soon'
ah

XD
Night bud
night night
So I think I figured out a work around at least for me to press play. I was able to click on region select. Then used my down arrows to press play then enter.
how can i pause the download of the game
my internet dced and now it isn't downloading so im trying to pause it then restart
what's the deal with horses? I can "pick up" one with E but it says "INVALID" instead of a keybinding to summon it.
hold H to summon
thanks, there didn't seem to be a setting to change it in the input menu
Try resetting your keybinds to default @cerulean skiff !
Does the cosmetics I buy in Apoc transfer over to AoC?
yes
My settings are default, but I did it anyway
according to the input menu, H is for "toggle hotbar"
I don't see a setting for horse anywhere
Yup, reset keybinds and you might have to to restart client :)
if you stand still doing it you dont interrupt the animation for summoning the horse probably thats something idk
that's really weird, it's set to ctrl H now,but I never even touched the bindings
I'll test it out next time I'm in game. It's still weird that the input for summon isn't in the list of controls though.
that horse keybind thing resulted in my first death to the storm
Just to clarify... the armor and weapon skins that we can currently buy with embers?
i thought i had time to get out but couldnt summon
does storm damage interrupt the summon?
that's rough
maybe
hope not
that was the only time i tried it, but it might have been my keybinds
what key summons horse once you get it
ty
NP
Might need to reset keybinds to default if you played a previous beta and didn't delete all of your old settings in %Appdata
lol what key do you nhit to get on gryphn after the super jump
B
k ty
Npnp
OH snap?
Pics or it didnt happen
You sure? 
it looks legit
pmed u pic
gg almost
YEP! He found it!
@knotty tiger you got there with no weapons and gear too, thats even more impressive!

Hey, where can we submit feedback for Apoc?
I will chat with you about sandal sizes. 
what was te match size before it was changed to 175?
Thank you.
<3
It was 100 last I saw
Please move discussion to #aoc-apoc-discussion
Let's keep this chat clear for questions
one thing I find strange is that I see people killing people in the notification window before I'm even close to the ground. is there a quicker way to land?
@vast matrix yes, press space bar to deploy at any point!
nice thank you
And then you can toggle your flight mode (dive vs glide) with space, for maximum control :)
are we talking like 150 per match or like 500 per match
@tight gale what does he win for finding the sandal
so... how do you do the high jump? Holding control charges it, but.. how do you discharge it? spacebar seems to cancel it for me
Just look up into the air and let go
He wins a Sandal
A pair of AoC Sandals. 
Real sandals. The other part might be a little weird. 
EU servers experiencing heavy lag?
π
This is not the place for type of discussion @dark jungle . -__-
@timid ledge We increased the match size.
We are doing a stress test
is this open world?
The mmo will be yes. and battle royales are open world so yes i guess
The world is open but it's not big
ah! the mmo is not open yet? i wanted that not royale! π
We all are waiting for it :) we just need to participate in their tests so they can polish the mmo to the final product
What does thw silencer skill do
where can I report people teaming up?
^ there
are the login servers down i tried on both clients to connect, the website one i log in and just stuck at loggin in, and the steam just goes stright to loggin in. and i get no further. with 8 minutes left in playtest i think i should just give up
does reporting actually do anything, or is it a kind of "test" of the reporting feature as well?
Why is @idle siren such a genius? Made the best game graphics mechanics ever existed?
Lol
I doubt anyone is going to get banned in a beta xd
I do too but it is not for test
when ashes of creation will close?
for real?
Yes
so we cant play it anymore ?
Not until the next test starts
when it gonna start?
and when is the nest test
We don't know
Yeah hope next test will have aus servers, having high ping will always affect combat sadly..
OCE servers won't happen until Beta
hopefully this aoc apoc gonna be a thing
so that i can ditch realm royale and invest in this instead
i still get queue pops and can keep playing on EU:S
oh i thought this was going all month
does anyone know if theyΒ΄re still working on the combat system or can we assume that this one will be almost the final version?
They are still working on it, this is just to polish the "Action Combat" Part of the Combat system
ooh I see! thatΒ΄s good to hear. ty for your answer! π
No Problem :)
Its all wip untill beta
When do we get more my hunger can not be satisfied
wait i don t get somthing
are the servers gonna open up soon or are they down untill castle siege
They are down until they announce another test. There has been no info given on when that is.
But you can bet Steam didn't let them do this as a one off.
would you have catchup mechanics or not?
Todays test progress was a one off. It will be wiped. When the actual APOC regular version is released those that had progress from before will start there, the Season Pass holders for Season 1 will have the time restarted. Besides the 5 embers you were given there were no cosmetics to earn today. This was all in the FAQ.
Q: What happens to the items I earn from the Adventurerβs Path during this test session?
A: The βTest Compendiumβ for this playtest only includes XP rewards as items - no progress or items will carry over after this playtest.
Is there a going to be a cap on Discord pings? The constant pings are getting tiring now...
What do you mean?
Though I agree there have been a lot of pings, you can alter your notification settings on Discord to suppress the here and everyone pings:
10 pings in 12 hours is "constant"?
For some people that is considered annoying, getting a lot of pings in a relatively short period of time. I don't think justinj0305 is the only one.
That said, there are always settings to change if you don't like everyone pings.
@radiant tendon that option does not exist atm, Intrepid will announce when migration is possible.
When is the next play test
@wraith jackal we don't know yet.
o,_,o
One for the team, you announced that although you are primarily supporting Windows, you would like to have a Linux (Mac?) release later. However I noticed in the test that you are using EAC, but since Epic Games has said that they don't like gaming on Linux and so they will drop support for EAC on Linux... surely if you were serious about a Linux release later you would find another way to stop cheating... On the bright side, you may not need to do anything, since the client as it stands worked fine on Steam/Proton on Linux... just got an error from EAC.
There will be some sort of custom or combination of anti-cheat at the release. Since there are no current plans to release on Steam (for the MMO), something probably needs to be done to convert it to Linux and Mac.
There's always the future though, so who knows what they will eventually decide 
no more apocalypse?
you could do Spanish translation for ashes of creation ? because i am cuban , my english is little bit, and i like this game but spanish is better for me
Hi Leo currently the only planned translations are for the regions that are being published.
Jahlon mentioned the other part :D thanks jahlon
Youre welcome!
Is there a recommended game translation software?
As in recommended by Intrepid. Not that I have seen. Anyone else want to chime in?
Localization is mainly done by the publishers, so I don't think there is a software supported by Intrepid.
No software, we'll have translations for languages we support.
when is servers gonna be up again?
When they announce it π
why apoc has 35% on reviews on steam?
See for yourself - a lot of the negative reviews are about it being a BR, people thinking it's a scam and people saying it's 'Caca poop!' (really, yes).
Go to https://steamcommunity.com/app/942810/reviews/?p=1&browsefilter=mostrecent for the most recent reviews
Go to https://steamcommunity.com/app/942810/reviews/?p=1&browsefilter=toprated for the most helpful reviews
There are some genuinely good reviews out there though, both positive and negative
They knew it was coming. End of the day, everyone is still getting up today and going into work. We are all still here talking mad senseless shit. The globe spins on.
I do hope they block the download for now or at least put up a splash stating this is an on-and-off testing, or we are going to get those reviews.
I was having trouble last night, installed and everything looked fine, made my char, bought weapon set, made it female, pings were fine but when i tried to enter game, 4-5 times just kept saying not ready, tried clicking play lots just kept waiting and waiting, what was i doing wrong?,,,,,bought my pack, basic, a loooong time ago and just wanted finally to join in and see how cool it looked, but didn't happen sigh
