The process of building and packaging a multiplayer game in Unreal Engine is a complicated affair that involves hundreds of thousands of files stored on many gigabytes worth of hard disk space. Creating a single build can take hours. So errors are expensive. And with every new version of the engine new errors occur. So one can only half rely on past experience. It’s a huge challenge every time.

This time an additional problem occurred when the processor of our good old server machine turned out to be incompatible with the new game. So I decided to try a new server host for sharing this release.

Nevertheless I was very eager to share the work done in step 26. So, after fixing some remaining bugs and perfecting the Halloween features, I started the process that ultimately lead to beta 5 being available for your evaluation.
