TeamSpeak 3 Client 3.0.0-rc2 available

[Peter]

Hi everybody,

today we release a new TS3 Client Version, with version "3.0.0-rc2".

Compared to our last Stable Release, rc1, there are some noteworthy changes:
- Replaced the rc1 sound pack with two new ones. One female and one male (you can chose between the two in the set-up wizard or in Options->Notifications). Also the old mic click sounds are back.
- To allow easily (e.g. double click) installation of addons you can now create zip files with special file suffix that are extracted to the right location by a nice dialogue. We recommend any addons to be bundled like this for ease of use. Supported endings are: .ts3_plugin .ts3_style .ts3_soundpack .ts3_iconpack .ts3_translation .ts3_addon
- Domains with non ascii characters work again (they were broken by the rc1 release)

Full List of Changes:

+ Added banner resize mode to virtualserver settings.
+ Channel context menu "unsubscribe from channel family" is available as soon
  as any subchannel is subscribed.

I have installed Version 3.0.0-rc2 [Build: 14602] and now i hear always a bit of noise. The noise is still there when I click on mute headset. It is very quietly but it is there. it is away when i mute teamspeak in the volumenmixer (showed by clicking on the speakerssymbol in win7).

Edit by peter: Remove now fixed bug

I have win7 x64
Sound: G35 headset, Realtek on board

all seems to work well on my old system. build 14614

I'm using a portable version of client and it was working fine so far until this rc2, which asks to allow it modify registry every time. Very annoying.

[Quantum Systems]

How do i configure my TS3 client to update from the "Beta Channel" please?

UPDATE: Found it using google
If anyone's interested and doesn't know how:
1. Close the TeamSpeak client.
2. edit the update.ini in TS3's root folder and add:
[Channel]
beta=true
3. Save the update.ini file and close it.
4. Launch the TeamSpeak client back again and update!


Thanks!

Is there a way to change back to the old soundpack?

[Sanji008]

Will there be an offline installer with rc2 for clients who dont have an internet connection?

Thanks

[Basert]

I think, when rc2 will be released, there is an installer.

Please, don't change the voice every new release. I want the old one back.

[Sanji008]

It is confusing, because there is no preX in the Version String. At first glance it looked like a final version.

[CaptainThrills]

certainly interesting with all these new updates and thinga-magigys

[angelsguitar]

Is this update officially "live" for Linux? My TS3 Client has not auto-updated yet.

No, because of the bugs the release of this pre-release was delayed to Friday. So I guess the real RC2 will be released in the next days, if no more critical bugs are reported.

When updating with ts updater from rc2-pre1 build 14385 (x64), all packages where downloaded but the updater is not asking for higher permissions via UAC. so the update will fail.

I'm using Win7 x64 with restricted User-account and activated Administrator-account.
Normaly, when installing any software or any program needs higher privilegs, UAC is asking for the Administrators password.

P.S.: After installing rc2 (right-klick update.exe run as...) sucsessfull, i canceled the updater, so i do not execute the ts-client as admin using the update.exe as parent-thread. after 1st start (restricted user account) i get a message that some registry keys must be written, and if uac is turned on, it will ask for. uac was not asking for permissionn, but the keys where sucessfully imprted in the registry.
I have checked the permissions for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and the user-account has only read-permission. i also checked that the ts3_client.exe was running with user-permissions (parent-thread: explorer.exe).

All authenticated users have write permissions on their own branches in HKEY_CLASSES_USER. It's probably stored there. I don't see why they need to modify HKCR branch since I don't seen any associations.

IIRC, you don't really need to update it with elevated permissions. But you need elevated permissions if you installed it in the default directory (%ProgramFiles%\...). If you installed TS3 inside a directory where normal user already have Read/Write(Modify/Create Files/Directories)/Execute/List permissions, then it will not ask for elevated privileges and installs/updates will be successful. I have tried this before RC-1.
