Curse Client 4.0 Sneak Peak (updated July 24)

Kaelten — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:57:18 GMT

The development team here at Curse has been hard at work on the Curse Client 4.0.

Crunch Gear was given a sneak peak at the newest alpha client, 4.0. It's been entirely rewritten to optimize performance, speed, and usability. Of course it's going to pack in some new features as well. It's only in Alpha so we can only share this screen shot of the updated UI.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to post a screenshot of our upcoming mac client. Our mac users are important to us, and as a result most of my time has been monopolized by working on the new v4 Mac client. It's a completely native Cocoa app targeting 10.4 and will run on both intel and PPC macs. It's not as far along feature wise as the windows client, but again, I did want to make sure people know that it is actively being worked on.

Mac Update 7/24

I just updated with an extra screenshot from today's alpha release. So please check it out. I hope you guys agree it's starting to come together. :)

Curse Client Update - September 3rd

Kody — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:33:12 GMT

Today we're releasing the latest build of the Curse Client - the small utility that manages your game addons and submits data to WOWDB and WARDB. With the Curse Client installed, your game addons will be kept up-to-date, as they are delivered directly from authors hosting their projects at CurseForge!

This latest version is the most polished yet, correcting all known issues that the community has reported and adding filters to the Find an Addon tool.

You can download the Curse Client directly from http://media5.curse.com/dl2/CurseSetup-2.0.0.1.exe... or from WARDB.

Please report any issues you find at http://testclient.curse.com/

Note: This is a beta version of the new Curse Client, so please feel free to provide any feedback or suggestions you have, as well as bug reports!

Greetings everyone! With "v4" release drawing near, we've sent out additional beta invites to folks to help us test out the new website design and the plethora of new features and content available. All Curse users that are level 2 or higher should now have access to the Curse v4 Beta; simply visit http://www.curse.com to login.

There were also emails sent out to everyone invited today, so if you'd like to keep a copy of the email, be sure to double-check your spam folders if you can't find the email in your inbox.

Beta testers can post bug reports on our bug tracker, found at http://trac.curse-gaming.com. We look forward to all the feedback everyone has to offer; we hope you enjoy the new website as much as we do.

"V4" enters Beta Testing

Nimloth — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:20:48 GMT

Greetings!

The beta period to preview, bug test and help improve the new Curse "v4" website has begun. At this point, we have sent out invitational emails to active website contributors who have been selected as part of the initial core team to help test out every aspect of the new website. We are pleased to be this far in the development cycle and equally excited about all of the new features, services and layouts we are able to offer you.

We encourage anyone who gets the invitation email to thoroughly test, and re-test the beta website and submit any bugs and feedback to our development team in order for them to create the best website possible.

Please be aware that the website is still in a very early beta stage, so the development team is still continuously updating, editing, modifying and improving pages such as submission forms or other templates. That said; please submit bugs on any forms you find not working, so that there's no possibility of something being missed.

With that we wish you a happy bug hunt and an enjoyable browsing experience!

~ The Curse Team.

Guild Beta Access Program

Nimloth — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 23:08:42 GMT

Over the past few months, Curse has had the opportunity to work on a much closer level with game developers in relations to their games and upcoming communities. It has been a very interesting and fun process, and I am glad to be able to say that we will be bringing you more and more exclusive content, contests, information and game testing opportunities as the months move forward.

First up on our list is to create a database listing of guilds interested in beta testing MMOs, sorted by region - US and EU. In order to sign up your guild, visit http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/messag.../nimloth/ and send me a message containing the following information and formatting:

Region(EU or US)

Guildname

http://GuildWebsiteURL.com

Guild Contact Name

Guild Contact Emailaddress

Guild Type (Raider,Roleplayer,Casual,PvP)

Once this information is filled in and the information is sent to me, we will store this information in our database and hand out to our developer partners as they close in on beta status for their game.

Please note: While signing up your guild here will not produce an immediate email confirmation from any Beta programs -- your guild will be contacted by our partners when they are ready for it.

On behalf of the Curse Staff and our partners, we wish you good luck with Beta Access!
