Purge Open Beta 1.3.8 is the largest upgrade to the Purge Open Beta. This new version makes major changes to Purge. It incorporates new features requested by players and fixes many bugs. Placeholder art and visual effects have all been replaced with final artwork. Various gameplay modifications have been made including final weapons, better character balance, and complete redesigns of the Fighter's and Cyborg's construction skills. Server adminstrators also have a new server interface. Also, players can now stably save their Experience Points on the server (if the server is playing the "Persistant" Battle Mode).

Notes

This is a beta, not a demo. There are bugs. You cannot run the dedicated server and client on the same computer without horrible CPU delays and lag. Don't do it. Also, it is very important server bandwidth settings are correct. If they set higher than the server's actual upload bandwidth, the game will lag very badly with major lost packets.

COMMENTS

There will be constant patches. That is why it is called a beta. If there were no bugs, Purge would have gone gold already.
