Edy is now running some open beta server for the public.

IP: 217.19.21.45, 217.19.29.248 (see spider)
Location: Europe, Netherlands

To connect there you have to:
* Backup your old "quake3/excessiveplus" directory
* Remove the "quake3/excessiveplus/pak0.pk3" (and all similar) file(Drunk
* Connect and have fun on the server

Of course you would not be able to see any client-side changes but you can test the gameplay. Also everything isn't possible with server-side only so be prepared for some prediction errors.

You have to follow the above steps.
Otherwise you'll be kicked with "Please update your Excessive Plus version to play on this server."

Well I'm still getting 'Client/Server Mismatch' after following the instructions above.
This is happening when I type server details within the game itself or attempt to join via the All Seeing Eye.
Any else got this problem? - or preferably a solution. :roll:

* Remove the "quake3/excessiveplus/pak0.pk3" file

Any chance that you grabbed some modified files? They will normally look like "pak0.a6813fd7.pk3" and you have to delete these too, to connect to the servers.

You can also backup your directory and delete all .pk3's inside your "quake3/excessiveplus/" directory.
