To make sure you better also delete your documents/Volition/Wing Commander Saga folder and the Volition/WCSaga registry entries. That way you can guarantee a clean installation for testing.

Also please create new pilots for the playthroughs, you can backup your old ones somewhere of course.

I will backup/delete all the WCS files and install the MC1.

With Beta 16 + Neptune, I have checked all GreenLantern RED points in missions from Brimstone 1 to Freya 6. I guess that the briefings/missions/flow/path/debriefs/techroom... are in very good shape by now. But I think that, maybe some issues (not related to GL) have to be checked.

I will run the whole campaign again but I don't have the time to check everything.

So, my question : on what particular parts should we concentrate ? Is there particular new resolved issues we have to check ?

Pretty much the ones listed in the changelog (for example Freya 3) plus the ones with the new Kilrathi SFX should get additional attention.

I'll se if I'll be able to test this tomorrow. 😊

Pretty much the ones listed in the changelog

OK, I start checking this evening.

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't play through the entire camapign though... 😉

A small step for the Beta Tester, but a large step for the developers! I'm downloading now 😊

Do you want us to "Green Light" all of these missions as we did for previous beta missions, or just file Mantis reports IF we find an issue?

Thor wrote:Do you want us to "Green Light" all of these missions as we did for previous beta missions

Yes if possible. If time is an issue restrict it to checking whether formerly reported bugs are really fixed.

I think I'll start a full play-through with keeping an eye on the formerly found issues and all other aspects, even if they are green, too. Should keep me busy for a while 😉
