We will be running a limited and controlled test of the Company of Heroes 2 servers, and would love to get your help. We're looking for a limited number of people to play the game, which will put stress on our servers so we can make sure they're up to snuff for the launch.

This is not a Beta. This is not marketing thing, this is us wanting to make sure we're ready for launch and asking you guys for help in making sure that happens.

Since this is a test we are hoping the servers get knocked over quite a bit. That means that you may lose connectivity, or find that you can't play the game at times. If you're the sort of person to get frustrated by that sort of thing, please don't take part. The Open Beta will be much more satisfying for you.

Also we need to control how many people have access to this at a time, so we're controlling how many people are being invited. Please do not share the instructions for accessing this test with anyone. If everyone who we let into the test shared the information with even 1 other person we'd have double the number of anticipated people accessing the game. This could slow the game's development, delay the Open Beta and have consequences on the final product.

We're trusting you to work with us to make the best game possible. Please don't betray our trust.

If you do want to take part in the Server Stress Test please email: coh2servertest at relic.com now.

Thank you all for your support! With your help Company of Heroes 2 will be one of hte best games we've ever published.

We'll be running the closed beta for a while - until we feel stability is good and then we'll open it up for the stress test which will run for quite a while.

We'll also be testing our day 0 patch items, so once the game is more stable, we'll be gradually introducing additional tuning changes;

- Upkeep has a pass undergoing testing here.
- Changes to the commander trees (I'll keep that one a surprise in case it doesn't work )
- Unit 'feel' pass. We had good metrics on the beta in terms of balance. 1% difference right now between the two races. Over 1 million games were played during the last beta. We'll start with the big tanks and do a little bit better on the role definition.
- Bug fixes, data issues etc.

BTW, those of you who are having issues with Blizzards, could you post your system specs somewhere? By our numbers, blizzards were optimized considerably and had no effect on our min-spec. We're also looking at the autodetect settings to improve those.

Another question - those of you who are playing, can you earn XP and rank up? Some people are reporting they can't.

thanks all,

Quinn
