Simbin has announced that the multiplayer alpha testing of their RaceRoom Racing Exeprience & DTM Experience titles is due to start soon.
In a new dev blog, Simbin has outlined the mutliplayer testing plans for the immediate future. DTM Experience users will be the first to test the new feature that will be integrated into R3E once initial testing is successful.
We are pushing hard to get a Multiplayer Alpha ready to share with some of you very soon. So here???s how we???re going to roll it out.
Multiplayer Alpha, as the name suggests, is by no means a finished feature and it will be purely basic Multiplayer. We will start with a limited amount of servers to stress test certain things. For this we decided to make it available to a limited amount of players to make sure it???s not too overcrowded and the amount of player and server traffic has an ongoing balance.
Initially, Multiplayer Alpha will be made available to DTM Experience Season Pass holders only (players who have the Season Pass sticker in their profile).?? In other words, it will be available for players who have purchased a redeem code for DTM Experience 2013 + Season Pass via dtm-experience.com. The season pass deal is still going until the end of this month by the way.
Multiplayer Alpha will definitely have issues. It might be unstable at times. It might be buggy. Performance might be terrible, lag might ruin your experience and a lot of other negatives that come with testing an Alpha feature. But in the end it will help us improve it and make Multiplayer an Experience everyone can enjoy.
We aim to share Multiplayer Alpha in DTM Experience for Season Pass holders, before this summer (so in like a month or so). Depending on how things go we will then make it available to more players in R3E.
Furthermore, Simbin has also released some new R3E previews, showing off first renders of the Audi IMSA 90 GTO that will be coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience.
