Every ten alpha releases I aim to produce a Beta release of EX, a stable build that players who don't want to put up with the oddities that crop up in alpha testing can play. Release Candidate 8.37 may be the next of these stable builds. A few things needed smoothign out in the previous candidate, i'm hoping this version will fare better.
The ModDB mirrors unlock at 13:00 GMT, if it's busy or not working the installer can be downloaded from
40ksource.com or the
zip file. Please try the ModDB first.
Install the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer- Navigate to the "Tools" section on your Steam games "Library"
- Install the "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer"
- Run the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer at least once.
- You can exit once the menu has finished loading.
Install the latest Exterminatus Release Candidate- If you already have a copy of the EX, delete it.
- Run the installer and follow it's instructions.
- Restart Steam. You should now see both the Exterminatus Beta 8.37 listed in your library.
As the title suggests i'm thinking of releasing a new EX Beta shortly, so it's vitally important I have reports of any outstanding balance issue or bugs, so I can try and fix them before the Beta. Please report any bug on the EX steam discussion group (
Bugs or similarly on the topic of
Balance ). Releasing a Beta means doing some extra publicity work for me. If you have any cool videos or screen shots of recent EX builds please let me know as I can always use more material to promote EX.
The chapter skin packs for the Imperial Fist and Raven Guard chapters have been updated to include skins for the new Dreadnaught class.
Tweaks- More lighting tweaks to City Conflict and i've moved the landing pad/generators to make them slightly easier to capture. Fixed a dreadnaught sticking point in the marine spawn.
- BS barbs are now rendered black, this looks less wired than the previous transparency.
- Buffed Flamer damage from 24 to 30.
- Re-lit ex_hive to use more saturated lighting. Fixed a dreadnought sticking point in the tyranid start area.
- Cleared out all kill notices when the map changes.
