authentication error?

static119

I just preordered NS2 standard edition. Now, unless I'm mistaken, I should be able to host a LAN game and run around on the maps right? Well, when hosting a game it never gets past the authentication. Is there a fix or am I just mistaken?

I am fairly sure you need the Special Edition to have acces to anything before BETA. It's Alpha they are launching today.

you are playing the engine test, not the alpha. the alpha is not released yet. wait a few hours.

I had a similar issue running the pre-alpha, for some reason it ended up fixing itself on it's own. The game would hang when I tried to run one of the test maps, tried again the next day and it fired right up. The engine test is incredibly buggy at best (as it's expected to be).

Okay then. I'll just wait until beta.. if I can make it that long.
