Harpoon ANW Open Beta with v3.9.4

[rsharp@advancedgamin]

AGSI and Matrix have decided to take all comers for beta testing. We're starting this with a public release of the latest version of Harpoon ANW, 3.9.4. This feature focused on resolving bugs and, optionally, approximating some of the better behaviors users liked about earlier versions of Harpoon 3.

Testing Harpoon betas is not for the feint of heart. I have no doubt that more eyes will find more issues with the releases. I will handle feedback on this forum. Please just include the specific version which you can find on the title bar of the game.

Anyone with a Harpoon 3 ANW serial can download and apply the patch to their existing Harpoon 3.9.0 or later installation.

The replaced files are backed up but scenarios saved or rebuilt in the later versions will not be backwards compatible.

Also read up on the new options.
