Oh dear
Shadows are not updating dynamically, but are instead 'shifting' every 5/s or so. I'm guessing this has something to do with AOs night/day cycle being old and busted.
1. Downloader deletes everything if it's closed.
2. The Installer defaults to "Anarchy Online" folder if folder is changed. This can be harmful for existing installations...
If you are installing testlive engine beta remember these...
ALSO LAST!
Feedback:
1) I like the way it looks
2) I don't like the way it runs on my laptop :( Can't select 'nvidia gtx 660m' in the selection screen only 'primary display driver', anyone got a hotfix for that?
3) The name above my head looks low graphics now, can you up it's resolution?
EDIT:
2) Fixed this part by right clicking the exe and selecting 'run with graphics processor - high performance nvidia processor', runs like a beauty! Love you funcom!
is that the same one im updateing ? i mean i had the old beta engine version
If you're talking about the static-ish shadows cast by buildings and such, these are too expensive in Cheetah to update dynamically all the time.
Depending on how powerful your GPU is these update at intervals.
Generally you shouldn't really notice them shifting due to how slowly the AO's day/night cycle moves.
If you're talking about dynamic shadows such as from your character.. then someone broke the stuff I guess :)
How many bins does it have? Working on the 6th one now ...
Could I have patched this up from my 18.7 Beta install?

8 & counting ... each one takes between 10 and 12 minutes to download. Looks like 9 bins, at least the 9th one is not the max size.
The shadows are being updated too often - should either be updated fast enough to be 'smooth' or wait some period of time like in AoC/TSW (something like 20 seconds). They've been set to update/shift every 5 seconds or so since the Engine hit beta.
New engine works fine, just patch it to live so I can play at 2k resolution without Crashing.
cant be true
If you are experiencing a full white screen at login (as I was). Delete your custom game profile in AMD Catalyst and let the client take care of it. I will have to set it back up for the live dimension again.
wot.... is this actually real?
Instant crash, no matter which graphic device I choose. Straight to desktop.
If you really want to see the differences login a toon from Test-Live Patched to 18.8 and log a toon in from the full 9-bin Beta install from the Link in the OP above at the same time. They will/can be the same "place" but one will have the new engine and the other won't.
Separately, I was getting 30 to 50 fps in Newland City from both 18.8's but I get close to 100 fps on Live ... is that appropriate?

When hitting alt+f4 to exit AO, it does its thing like it always did, and after the logout timer bar thing is done counting down, it closes the window. But the process "AnarchyOnline.exe" keeps on running (can see it in task manager).
Installed testlive, reactivated account, logged in on my main doc and ran around. Worked perfectly and looked like a DX9 version of AO :) The first issue I found is that it doesn't like 21:9 aspect ratio. Playing in a 1080p window was fine though, it also detected and ran DSR resolutions perfectly fine on my 970.
