TA Beta and Metaverse

from GalCiv2 Forums
Yes, I know the beta isn't out yet.

However, maybe someone can give me a heads-up on this matter. Will the beta be MV compatible?
I'm in the middle of a MVL game, and I need to know if I have to finish that first, or if I can update to TA and then submit.


(For that matter, since this is kinda an open beta, will it be ok to post AARs from the beta?)

Its a new game not just a patch.

And besides you can't carry on games after a patch anyway. So a definite no. Nor, would I imagine a metaverse will be available for beat anyway, I could be wrong though.

Well, for the last few patches, you COULD continue your old games. And the _beta_ patches (save a few that were bugged) actually WERE metaverse compatible. So this is by no means as easy a question as you think.

Since TA is a separate game as DA is to DL, DA/DL games in progress will not be affected by the presence or lack of TA. As you might expect, you can't load DA/DL saves in TA.

I wouldn't expect metaverse games to be supported until later or even final.

Ok, so I can just 'switch chapters' to activate DA?

If that's the case, wonderful!
