    Hello.
    I'm waaay to impatient. First you sad it will be on monday, then you sad probably not be cause of some problems. But now it's Tuesday.
    Please, give us an update on the latest patch notes at least or better yet, when this week will the patch come out?

    Thank you!

    If you check their beta bug database you can see that there's still quite a few things that came up which requires fixing. From the look of things it needs a few days to iron out all of the currently known bugs, and another day for for the would be found bugs. I would expect it to be out sometime this weekend.

    If you're feeling impatient why not join the beta testing initiative? All it takes is a quick email to <a href="mailto:contact@gaslampgames.com">contact@gaslampgames.com</a> and you too can live on the cutting edge.

    I don't know they are "still" accepting beta testers. I guess I send an email anyway and see what happens.

    Nicholas is ten feet away wrapping up the 104b beta patch to send off to Valve for testing via Steam (and was just murdered by a test diggle on floor 1, so we're investigating their hp numbers).

    If this gets a couple days of intense testing with very little exploding then I imagine (slightly conservatively) that we'll be good to go with 104 on Friday.

    Oh, that's good news!
    Now I shall go borrow Superman's powers and spin the Earth forward until Friday. :)
    As long as I don't go against the rotation, the Earth won't turn into a ball of magma. :)

    (To confirm what David just said: 104b has just been sent to Steam for testing. I'll be sending out some more keys as soon as the new one goes live.)

    Can anyone test it via steam (stupid question probs)?
    Can people still get in beta testing?
     
  9. Nice, just got the patch :D is there a way to know what's been changed? I can't seem to find a beta update log anywhere

    Apparently this is the actual E-mail. Since I send to the other one this morning and got nothing back.

    ilovetocrash@gaslampgames.com

    Either that or I was obviously too late to sign up for beta.

    Based on this post on the blog

    If you want to participate in our Exciting Dredmor Blooper Beta Bonus Round, send us an e-mail to ilovetocrash@gaslampgames.com (really) and tell us why you want to be one of our Exciting Patch Testers. Preference will be given to those who participated in the beta, to those who have been active in the community with assembling bug reports and tracking things, and to those with existing QA experience.

    Well it's not so much that I am impatient. I am just not expecting them to accept new beta tester requests 3 days prior to the new expected release date.

    But if anyone wants to try anyway my guess is that ilovetocrash@gaslampgames.com should be the email rather than contact@gaslampgames.com. I have no way of confirming this of course.

    The IRC channel topic has contact@gaslampgames.com as the email. I don't think it matters - they both probably go to the same inbox. The devs mentioned they'd send out another batch of beta keys soon.

    Heard from a dev on IRC that the 104 patch is planned for release on Tuesday, because the long weekend might mean slow turnaround for a game-breaking bug. There will be a new beta build up tomorrow for testers.
