Hey everyone,
Our first Public Test Server is now open; if you’d like to help test the new clans and social features, read on.

Please note: the Public Test Server will be open until 5pm (UTC+1) on 26th August.


***PUBLIC TEST SERVER - LIVE***

The public test servers for social are now live!
MAKE SURE TO READ THIS POST BEFORE ENTERING THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER!!!
 

Accessing the Server:
To access the server, you will need this code: aTmEtuGeqCU5

 
Click here to see how to use the code in order to access the test server.

Unfortunately there is no way to access the public test server without Steam and Windows OS.

 
General Info and Requirements:
When you use the public testing client, you will not be able to use the username + password fields. You will need to click the “Login using Steam” button, which will create a fresh level 1 account for the purposes of testing the social/clan functionality.

The server will be limited to 500 players and will work on a first-come first-serve basis. At 500 players, the server will no longer permit entry to anyone, even if people logout. So if you are not within the first 500 logins, you will get this message, which unfortunately means you’re too late and won’t be able to participate in today’s public testing.

To participate in the public testing, you must be running the Steam Client – you cannot access the public test server through the regular Robocraft client software.

If you successfully register for public testing, you’ll be required to download the test server client. Once that has downloaded and installed, you’ll need to login via the ‘sign in with Steam’ button. If you attempt to login with a regular Robocraft username/password, you’ll see an error. Again, you must have a valid Steam account to participate in this public testing program.

 
Reporting Bugs:
The purpose of the public testing is to find any bugs, major or minor, so that our team can work on fixing them before full release. We have a five man testing team in-house, but they can’t find what 500 people can :)

To report a bug, click here to go to the customer support form and make sure to select B-Feedback in the “Request Type” drop down menu.

Then send us information regarding the bug, preferably in the following format:

Description of the bug and the impact it had on you
Your PC’s specs (Operating System, Graphics Card, Processor etc..)
Attach the most recent outputLog.txt file from the Robocraft install folder (found by right-mouse clicking on Robocraft In steam > properties > LOCAL FILES > BROWSE LOCAL FILES).
What you were doing when the bug occurred
How often does it occur. Is it something you can re-produce (intentionally cause the bug)

Join the public test chat channel!

When you get into the game, type (or copy/paste):
/join betatest

This will have you join the public test chat channel!

 
Knowns Issues:
As this is a public test and not a release, please be aware that there will be many bugs. Some subtle and some obvious.

We will use this space to note any common and/or major bugs.
There are two we already know about ahead of time:

> When entering a battle, some players will get a black screen. We are aware of this, please don’t report it.
Rubberbanding/lag while playing

> When initially joining a clan using the search feature, you will get stuck on a loading screen. But you have joined the clan and can just restart the game. Note: Joining a clan via direct invite doesn’t cause this issue.

> Clan members in the clan view will occasionally stack on top of each other (taking up the same space). Just close and open the clan window.
