Important: This assumes you already have the live DCUO installed. Also, URLs and paths have changed since the SOE-Daybreak change. General 1) Create this path if you don't already have it. If your regular DCUO is pre-Daybreak, you won't have this... C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\DC Universe Online Test 2) Copy the /UNREAL3 folder from your regular DCUO installation. If it's pre-Daybreak, then it'll be in... C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\DC Universe Online If it's post-Daybreak, then... C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\DC Universe Online 3) Download & run the test client. The updated URL is... http://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/DCUO_Test_setup.exe [must copy & paste for security reasons] It'll still have a download, but much smaller than the full 30+GB. Happy testing. Note: I've tried this on Windows 7 & 10. The path of DCUO might vary on other versions. Windows 7 Repair Install From time to time, the launcher may give a KERNEL32 error after an update for Windows 7 users. If you get this, do the following: 1) Download & run the test client. The updated URL is... http://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/DCUO_Test_setup.exe [must copy & paste for security reasons] 2) Run the installer and choose the Reinstall/Repair option. Just click through all of the menus. If DirectX fails to install, just move on to the next step. 3) Login, run the patch and everything should be back to normal.

I would just try again. I just manually hit the URL in the error and it works. If you're trying this fast method and for some reason it's not working, then just go with the regular slow method and run this instead of manually creating anything... http://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/DCUO_Test_setup.exe. There could be directory variations depending on your version of windows and whether you had the game from SOE or DGC.
The fastest method for going to test is pretty simple. You don't even need to download the test server. All you need to do is create a duplicate copy of the DC Universe folder. Then go to Launchpad.ini under [Settings] and write environment=test. Then launch launchpad.exe. Viola test will download.
It doesn't matter. That's just the installer. You can run that from anywhere and it will create (or detect existing) the path for you. If you got this far, it means you already ran the installer. Whether you setup the fast method correctly or not, this should start a download. I would open a support ticket for this though. They can take a look at some of your files and analyze it better.
I Meant this link http://manifest.patch.daybreakgames...uo-pc/dcuo-test-pc/live/test-pc-win32.sha.soe i downloaded the soe whre do i put it?
You really shouldn't be downloading and placing that one manually. If you're running into errors, you should probably start from scratch rather than try to rebuild missing parts. If you get errors starting all the way from this step... http://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/DCUO_Test_setup.exe ... then you should file a support ticket. The DGC staff can better analyze your files.
You have the normal long download that's safe to do for people not comfortable moving around files. I recommend that if this one is too many steps. Simply download this... http://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/DCUO_Test_setup.exe [Must copy & paste for security reasons] ...and run it overnight.
I just want to say that if you're playing DCUO on Steam, this is where you can find your DCUO files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DC Universe Online Alternatively, if somehow your DCUO files are not there or you don't know how to get to the folder using the file path above, you can do the following steps: 1. Start Steam if you haven't done so already. 2. Select "Library" and click on "Games" on the drop down list. 3. Right click on "DC Universe Online" and select "Properties" 4. Click on the "Local Files" tab and click on "Browse Local Files"
Copy! Yeah, don't move it or you'll break the live game. UNREAL3 is the base assets. When you run the test installer over it, it will rebase it to the test server build. On a side note, if you ever install on another system, copying UNREAL 3 over will speed things up.
I had that same socket error today when I tried to update the test client to test earth 3. I made sure that the live server could update (since I'm really a PS player), then copied the UREAL 3 folder. But now instead of getting the socket error after I log in and it tries to pack the client I get this. Any suggestions?
Not sure on this one because I haven't gotten it myself. Other people are running into this issue though. I think it's something on Daybreak's end.
