It's going to be a separate download, but will require steam to be running (Seems to use SteamWorks).

When they release the test client everyone will have access to download it at the same time. It will just appear that we are getting later because of time differences and such

Most of the updates come around 5-6pm PST. Which translates to roughly 2-3am in Euroland.
Well i just got invited by a buddy of mine to go drink a few beers. If i am any sort of lucky the engine test will be released by the time i get back :D
Why the heck there is already all kinds of fixes ans stuff on <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ns2feedback" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/ns2feedback</a> ? Is the Engine test already available somewhere?!

Good post. I hope everyone isn't expecting the world, this is just a really nice slice of the pie, particularly for mappers and seeing their work from a rines perspective.

Correct. Maps will habe to be downloaded on their own, but if you connect to a server running some new lua mods on an existing map, they will download and run.

Same here.
I was hoping I could download the maps just by connecting, but okay.
Just gonna need the map creators to host their creations for download then install them ourselves. Right now though let's just concentrate on the lone epicness at hand!

Most of the updates come around 5-6pm PST. Which translates to roughly 2-3am in Euroland.
It's probably safe to assume the same for this.
It's 19:21 CET here and no sign of a download.
And risk not being within the first 10 to download it? HA, I think not.
me too! and everyone else in here too :P
