How to Test
---------------
If you are playing via the client, make sure you run the "Legends of Aria Launcher Experimental" from the Start Menu. Check the version on the bottom right of the launcher window before hitting the "Launch" button to ensure that you are running the correct version. Note: It is recommended to run the main game launcher before running the Experimental launcher.

If you are playing on Steam, first check to make sure you have the free DLC “Experimental Client” installed and that all updates are complete. Right click on Legends of Aria in your Steam Library and select “Play Legends of Aria Experimental Client” - this should be the third option on the list.
