Introducing the public stress test

Fellow members of TAW!

On the 24th and 25th of September, 2015, the players will for the first time have the opportunity to test Armored Warfare without the Early Access requirement during the Stress Test phase of Armored Warfare testing.


Starting time: Thursday, 08:00 CEST (Thursday 12:00 PDT)
Ending time: Saturday, 08:00 CEST (Friday 12:00 PDT)

What is a Stress Test?

Stress Testing is the final testing phase before the Open Beta launch. Its aim is to provide the developers with feedback regarding the stability of the server system and its ability to handle large amounts of players. In order to obtain these results, we do need as many players as possible to play at the same time.

What version will it run? Will North American server be available?

The version that will be used during the stress testing is Update 0.9, which will also be used in the Open Beta launch. North American server will be available.

What can the players expect during the Stress Testing?

Stress Testing will test the abilities and capacity of the server clusters, pushing them to their limits in order to accomplish the goals of this testing round. Under those circumstances, the players can expect the following issues:

• Server queues
• Occasional latency spikes
• Reduced server stability

In addition, purchasing gold will not be possible during the Stress Test phase. Progress will however carry over from the Early Access phase for players who previously participated in the Early Access testing.

How do I join the Stress Testing?

The launcher will be available for download on the 23rd of September at this address. A launcher will download and will install the game. Please follow the launcher's instructions.

Happy testing and see you on the battlefield!
