This environment exists to allow public testing phases of unreleased patches of the game and platform. This environment will be publicly available to players, but under our tight access control. This way we can, if we want, have an internal playtest of a patch in a release environment without needing to expose it to the public (Just like today!).\n\nHow does it work?\nThe Public Test Universe will be started up when a large patch, like 1.0.0, is nearing task implementation lock. Dev Ops will select the best working build and deploy it to the PTU servers. Then Players or Devs will login using the live version of the launcher with the PTU channel selected.\n\nThe PTU is managed by testing \u201cphases\u201d. When a testing phase is defined it includes a date range for when the testing will be available and a set of required badges.\nWhen no phases are active, the PTU is shut down and inaccessible.\n\nPlayers can copy their production account and all its ships and settings to the PTU via the website.\n\nHow is the PTU accessed ?\nThe PTU is accessed by first copying your production account over to that environment. Only accounts with the proper badges for the current testing phase can initiate the copy process. The Community and QA teams will distribute the access badges (Public Test Badge; currently part of the Staff badge) to players for each testing phase. We can use a different badge for each phase if we choose.\n\n1.

The process will copy all your account settings, pledges and configuration over to the PTU. You will also retain all badges and roles in this new environment.\n\nOnce the process is complete, you will receive an email at the address on file that contains your newly generated password (see below).

Diese Umgebung existiert, um \u00f6ffentliche Testphasen von unver\u00f6ffentlichten Patches des Spiels und der Plattform zu erm\u00f6glichen. Diese Umgebung wird den Spielern \u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich sein, jedoch unter unserer strengen Zugangskontrolle. Auf diese Weise k\u00f6nnen wir, wenn wir wollen, einen internen Playtest eines Patches in einer Release-Umgebung durchf\u00fchren, ohne ihn der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zug\u00e4nglich machen zu m\u00fcssen (genau wie heute!).\n\nWie funktioniert es?\nDas Public Test Universe wird gestartet, wenn sich ein gro\u00dfer Patch, wie z.B. 1.0.0, dem Task-Implementierungssperre n\u00e4hert. Dev Ops w\u00e4hlt den am besten funktionierenden Build aus und stellt ihn auf den PTU-Servern bereit. Dann melden sich Player oder Devs mit der Live-Version des Launcher an, wobei der PTU-Kanal ausgew\u00e4hlt ist.\n\nDie PTU wird durch das Testen von \"Phasen\" verwaltet. Wenn eine Testphase definiert ist, beinhaltet sie einen Datumsbereich f\u00fcr die Verf\u00fcgbarkeit der Tests und einen Satz erforderlicher Ausweise.\nWenn keine Phasen aktiv sind, ist die PTU abgeschaltet und nicht zug\u00e4nglich.\n\nSpieler k\u00f6nnen ihren Produktionsaccount und alle ihre Schiffe und Einstellungen \u00fcber die Website auf die PTU kopieren.\n\nWie wird auf die PTU zugegriffen?\nAuf die PTU wird zugegriffen, indem Sie zun\u00e4chst Ihr Produktionskonto in diese Umgebung kopieren. Nur Konten mit den richtigen Badges f\u00fcr die aktuelle Testphase k\u00f6nnen den Kopiervorgang einleiten. Die Community- und QS-Teams verteilen die Zugangsausweise (Public Test Badge; derzeit Teil des Staff Badge) an die Spieler f\u00fcr jede Testphase. Wir k\u00f6nnen f\u00fcr jede Phase ein anderes Badge verwenden, wenn wir wollen.\n\n1. Wenn Ihr Konto berechtigt ist, k\u00f6nnen Sie den Kopiervorgang starten, indem Sie unter https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/account\/ptu unter My RSI > Settings > Public Test Universe zu Ihren Kontoeinstellungen gehen. Der Prozess kopiert alle Ihre Kontoeinstellungen, Zusagen und Konfigurationen auf die PTU. Du wirst auch alle Badges und Rollen in dieser neuen Umgebung behalten.\n\nSobald der Prozess abgeschlossen ist, erhalten Sie eine E-Mail an die Adresse in der Datei, die Ihr neu generiertes Passwort enth\u00e4lt (siehe unten).
