how to change servers

Post by gwgardner »

In attempting to play Hairog's newest version of his mod, he set up a challenge, but I cannot see it. I see only two challenges. He sees ten of them. It seems I'm on the beta server and perhaps he's on a different one? How can we get on the same server?

My SC3 version is 1.12.01

This may do it. From a previous post.
There are 2 servers, the normal and the beta.
Having just experienced this, games in the normal will actually force you to update (e.g. from v1.11 to v1.12) when official updates are released.
Games in the beta will get wiped when the developers start working on a new beta (I believe).

If you want to continue playing a beta PBEM game and an official game after an official update, then you will need to copy the exe file, and rename it. Then create a shortcut that executes the renamed file. Then update the regular game. Also note that if your opponent has a STEAM account he may have difficulty keeping the beta as STEAM is likely to force the update.

Hi Gwgardner,

You are playing the SC3 Beta which points to the PBEM++ Beta server and likely Hairog is playing v1.12 which points to the regular PBEM++ server.

No games are wiped on either server, just that there are two servers and games started with one of the SC3 Beta packages will only be listed on the Beta server, while games started with one of the release SC3 packages will only be listed on the regular PBEM++ server.

To play with Hairhog, simply ensure that both of you have the same version of SC3 installed, i.e. either the v1.12 release version or now the latest v1.12.02 Beta version.

That's it!

Thanks for responding Taxmann66. I found your post quoted it and promptly lost track of it again. Which leads me to the bain of my existence currently...

THE SEARCH FUNCTION ON THESE FORUMS DOESN'T WORK!

How in the world can you have a forum that doesn't have a search function?

Anyway, thanks again for your offer but I think Hubert has cleared it up.

Thanks Hubert and Taxman66. I have 1.12.02. I've never had a problem with saves when betas change.
