Everyone knows that game development is a very complex and reverent job. And if we talk about projects of the type FreeToPlay, then their development is always underway. And in order to identify serious errors or bugs in the new update release, a test run is carried out in advance, but not on the main servers, but on the test ones.
In this article, we will talk about a FreeToPlay project called Warface. And to be more precise, about how to copy a character to a TCP. All the nuances will be affected, and if this issue is of interest to you, be sure to read the article to the end.
What is TCP
The abbreviation PTS stands for Public Test Server. This server is designed to ensure that new WarFace updates pass a series of tests, so that, as a result, a full build is loaded onto the main servers without flaws. In this case, ordinary players from the main servers take part in the testing, but, of course, not everyone can get on it, but more on that later.
Only responsible players who intend to improve the project by identifying deficiencies in it are allowed on the TCP. So, letting you in the TCP, the developers are waiting for feedback: you must write on the forms about all the shortcomings found so that they can fix them in the short term, before the release.
In WarFace, you can get to the TCP by copying one of your character from the main server. In general, everything is simple, but these requirements of many people are perplexing. That is why in the article we will analyze in detail how to copy a character to a TCP.
Selection criteria for TCP
Now let's find out who and how can get to the test server. This is necessary, since not every player can copy a character to the TCP.
Initially, it must be said that the selection criteria for each update are different. So, this month they can only launch players from Charlie’s server, but next time they’ll be denied entry. Also of great importance is the level indicator. On average, and often they always miss players above level 40, but there were exceptions when they opened the entrance for characters over level 20.
That is why, before going to copy the character to the TCP, enter the appropriate section on the official website and carefully read all of its criteria.
Well, in the meantime, we move on to the next subtitle.
How to copy a character
Just want to say that on the TCP (Warface server) to copy a character is easy. And if after an independent attempt you still could not do it, then carefully read our instructions, they will all be described in detail.
Initially log on to the project’s official website. This can be done through the "Games Mail" or simply by entering the name of the game in the search bar of the browser.
Log in. The “Login” button will be at the top right, click it and enter your data: username and password (the data that you use to enter your email address).
After logging in, log in to your account. Instead of “Login”, your login on the form is now written, click on it and select “My Account” in the drop-down list.
In it, all possible operations are laid out with plates, we are interested in a tile with the name "Test Server". At the time of writing, the article is at the very bottom.
On the Test Server page, review the criteria. You can also find out the duration of the test there.
Here are two images of a soldier. On the left - on the main server, on the right - on the TCP. The left one is highlighted, and the right one is dim. In the drop-down list under the left image, select your character that you want to copy to the test server. After that, click "Copy."
Once all operations have been completed, copying will begin. It can take some time.
As mentioned above, copying a character to the Warface PTS is very simple, we hope this instruction helped you, but in the meantime, we move on.
Where to download Title Warface
After you copied the character to the TCP, you need to download the TCP server itself (if you do not have one). You can do this directly from the Mail Game Center.
Enter it and select "Game Catalog" on the top panel. All games from Mail will open before you, but we are interested in TCP. To view them, click “Title” on the category selection panel.
On the new page, find the game Warface and click on it. A window opens in which you are prompted to download a test server. Start the download and then wait for the installation. All.
