Introduction
During this tutorial, I show you how to install DC Universe Online's PC Test installation without redownloading the entire 20-30 GB's worth of data over your broadband.

If you have any questions, feel free to friend me and send a message.

*** NOTE***: In order to actually log into the PC Test server, your account MUST be Legendary status. That is that you subscribe to the game from SOE by paying the monthly fee, prepaid for several months at a time, OR are a lifetime Legendary membership holder.
Step-By-Step Breakdown
  • Download and Install the Test Server Launchpad using the links above.
  • Make note to where the Test Server is installing to and open it in Windows Explorer.
  • Abort and close the LaunchPad as it tries to run after installation.
  • Find the directory where you installed the Live Server at (sample directories above). Open in a NEW Explorer window.
  • From Step 3, copy the entire UNREAL3 directory from the live installation to the directory of the Test Installation.
  • After the copying is complete, launch the Test Server Launchpad.
  • If you did this correctly, if you click on the Green "Advanced Tools" icon on the lower left of the launch pad and then click servers, you will just see "PC Test."
