I. When will Venice Unleashed be released?
The Closed Beta has launched. Download the client here.
The Open Beta launch date is yet to be announced.

II. How and when will I be able to participate in playing Venice Unleashed?
Generally there are 4 development stages in which we will add features and make the gameplay experience more stable.

Alpha: Completed
Closed Beta: Launched
Open Beta: TBA
Release candidate: TBA

III. How many people will be invited to the Closed Beta?
NoFaTe is planning to invite the staff members and 800-1200 people handpicked from the enlisted community members.

IV. What are the requirements to play Venice Unleashed?
You need a legit and licensed game version with the latest patches installed.
This means: You need a game copy with unaltered files AND MOST IMPORTANT a valid license file for BF3 on your PC.
The license files gets created when BF3 is properly installed on your PC and activated through Origin.
Furthermore you need a redeemed key for Venice Unleashed and an Emulator Nexus forum account.

V. What about the DLCs?
You need the DLCs to play in servers using DLC content as you would in the vanilla game.

VI. What about mod support?
The first installment of official mod support will feature the "Extension System" similiar to the one featured in "Rome".
It will allow you to load custom scripts to your game-server which will allow you to enable own gamemodes, modify existing gamemodes, change the cvars of the server and much more...
The second installment of the mod support will be featured with usage of "Rime" a "FrostEd"- similar editor that allows to create more complex mods than with the "Extension System". More information on "Rime" can be found here.

VII. What about the server files?
They are not used. The game client files are all you need to host a server.
For more information about "Server hosting in Venice Unleashed" please visit the following blog post/info topic by NoFaTe:

VIII. Will we be able to change our names ? How many soldiers can I create?
Persona names are permanent, however you will be able to create multiple soldiers, each with a unique name and stats.
In the current stage of the Closed Beta you are only allowed one (1) soldier.

IX. I got a key. What shall I do?
The key needs to be redeemed and linked to your existing Emulator Nexus account. Log into the forums, visit the Downloads page, enter your key. After that you should be able to login into Venice Unleashed.
