    This also helps me understand the windows directory layout a little better

    Optional Steam Use:

    can manually copy the PTE folder into steam commonapps beside your other PA folder. Then, rename the old so you can access it later, and rename PTE to what steam pa normally is. Steam will launch PTE if it is placed and renamed, and if you unname it and return your old steam version, it will work like old. It is whichever folder named right.

    I think they don't want them on bugtracker. I report bugs on the build thread.

    not necessarily the main one : that's what the steam intalation looks like to the best of my knowledge. but I'm not sure I don't run steam version I only have Uber version.
    that's what I was saying ^^

    Thanks for this,

    But I keep getting, that error message. I guess I cocked up somewhere, although not sure where...
    Any suggestions?

    Just press the later button, this always shows on the PTE build

    Btw I'm using the uber launcher, although I originally brought the game through steam.

    that's the point steam and Uber users alike can cross the streams all they wish :)

    Downloading the PTE now.
    Now nothing can stop me! (Except players who realise that I'm spamming out 200 T1 bombers to snipe their com)

    hehe not necessarily, there are more balance changes to come. I wonder if the current PTE comes with Gating AI.

    This PTE is really cool, thanks.

    But ... Why is this so laggy ? Maybe cause I'm European and the server is American ?

    Edit 1 ; The EU server just appeared on my screen, sorry.
    Edit 2 ; ... But I can't select it.

    you only have the American server for PTE indeed. sorry about that, nothing to be done there :(

    as for the lag, it may well be because of the distance to the server.

    I'm in france so I sometimes feel the difference as well.

    I'm french too. That is unplayable, for me. I will wait for the next patch.
