Welcome to Redux Beta!
Hello again everybody! It has been almost 1 year since I warned that I was going to go off the grid as I worked on a complete re-write of AArcade. Almost 1 full year without updates to AArcade, and now, it's time for the first public version of the *all-new* Anarchy Arcade: Redux Beta!

Here are some known limitations & missing features in Redux Beta that you'll want to be aware of. When all of these limitations are resolved, Redux will be very close to coming out of Early Access.

Beta Limitations
  • No multiplayer yet.
  • Internal resolutions are not adjustable yet.
  • No publishing content to the workshop yet.
  • Can't launch other Source engine games yet.
  • Can't "hard pause" yet. (Only has an improved "minimal" pause mode.)
  • Open-with apps cannot be configured yet.
  • *Very* old workshop
  • Various missing features.
  • No consumer-quality VR support yet.

Workshop Content
All of your current workshop subscriptions from Legacy Mode will also continue to work in Redux. Note that some very old workshop items (referred to as "GEN 1") aren't supported yet.

Already an AArcade user?
Now that Redux is public, all of your old AArcade stuff is in Legacy Mode. You can launch Legacy Mode and use your old stuff like regular, OR you can EXPORT your legacy stuff so you can use it in Redux Mode as well.

Here We Go Again
Redux is a complete re-write of AArcade. It's better in a lot of ways, but we're also going to run into some familiar issues that were already fixed before, but over-looked during the rewrite. Don't hesitate to report any issues you encounter (even if you've reported in the past for legacy mode.) And thanks again for your patience as the new & improved AArcade: Redux goes through its beta period.

I havne't been able to load AA this smoothly in a long time. Thanks, it's looking great!

How come every time I start AA Redux it crashes the moment it starts up? I haven't downloaded anything for it and tried reinstalling, but it didn't help. Also the original version works fine so I don't understand why the redux doesn't.

When I try to launch in Redux Mode the Main Menu button crashes the app.

1. add private server multiplayer
2. when someone plays something both people can see it in real time
3. away to transfer all ur stuff to redux beta

Is it me or is Beta -way- more different than Legacy? Redux looks like some FPS, while Legacy has no, say, hand model on the screen. Am I doing something wrong?

How do you change the playermodel?
SM Sith Lord  [developer] 8 Apr, 2017 @ 12:14pm 
@Confused Panda Thanks for the feedback. Those features will all be part of Redux. :)

@Albcatmastercat Legacy hides things like the weapon system by default, while Redux doesn't have it hidden by default (at least not yet.) Besides that, Redux & Legacy are very similar.

Btw, if you want to hide your hands in Redux right now, there's a console command for that: r_drawviewmodel 0

@I_AM_TRON You can't change your player model in Redux yet. When I implement it, you'll probably just walk up to a model in-game and press a "morph into model" button to change into it, just like in Legacy Mode.
Albcatmastercat 8 Apr, 2017 @ 12:51pm 
I hope you guys soon hide it by default. The game/tool/utility is pretty interesting, and I also hope I don't take too long to get used to the new version.

can you on this version keep the hl2 dm weapons but instead they are only allowed on single player or you can make a option for weapons (like Garry's Mod) That way players dont kill each other. By the way I love this new update I have been waiting to be able to use hl2 playermodels,REAL MULTIPLAYER (not metaverse),and weapons.:steamhappy:

Hello, I downloaded this game and it doesn't stay in fullscreen, I try to change and it goes back to window mode all the time, is there a way to fix this?

... sad to see that it has even less functionality then when I left it of ... about a year ago ... or so

Heyyyyyyyyyy it took me a while to figure it out, but I do like Redux and it's replaced New Retro Arcade for me since I don't have VR anyway, but I was wondering if you have an outline or anything for upcoming features? I'm actually pretty happy with how everything works right now, but just wanted to know if there's anything in particular you're planning on adding in, bugs you want to fix, etc.

I know that he stated that VR isn't in / working is more or less a bug ... or a feature he wants to add back in.

I have to check out that "New Retro Arcade", though since I have VR and I am pretty much would like something like this for that purpose only.
