I understand that you're probably new around here. This question gets asked over and over and over and over and the developers of this mod (all doing it in their free time voluntarily) absolutely and adamently refuse to give a date for the release of the open beta. So I hope you understand the somewhat humorous replies this thread is bound to get.

However, statements have been made within the last week that the mod is just clearing up some CTDs now and that "as soon as the current version is cleaned up of bugs, enough that campaigns can be played without major CTDs all the time, it will become the open beta."

This is as good an answer as anyone will get here for now. Hope this is good news to you friend.
