Beta late than never

So it’s been a few days since open beta  and even less since the new hero chipper was released. What we’ve seen is a huge rise in player numbers, so much so that last weekend the servers were overloaded to the extent it was impossible to find to start a game.
What does this mean ? Well S2 games have said that they underestimated the amount of players signing up through open beta, at the moment their servers seem to be under control, however the true test will be next weekend when the majority of players log on.
Another issue has been effecting a lot of players, this is the issue with updating to the latest patch. Some players will find their clients crashing halfway through this process. There are currently two solutions to this, the first being un-installing HoN and then reinstalling the latest client from their website, the second is renaming the log.txt in the Heroes of Newerth folder to tos.txt. If log.txt does not exist simply create a blank text file called tos.txt, then proceed to run the hon updater from the same folder.
So if you’ve managed to sort out your crashing problems and you’ve also managed to find a server to play on or you just updated, you will notice a new hero has been added to the pool. Heroes-Newerth.com did a short post about this hero the other day, but if you didn’t check it out or fancy seeing some more ‘Chipper’ action here is a video a friend of mine made. Be sure to watch it in HD, enjoy!
