Allegiance Update!
August 16, 2001
Allegiance is now a completely free game to be played by all. You no longer need a MSN Gaming Zone account or a subscription to play Allegiance.
If you have never played Allegiance before, you'll need to get a patch to get properly connected. Please download the following patch and install it into your Allegiance directory. This will point you to the correct servers and get your copy of Allegiance properly auto-updated.

You may have to auto-update twice if you've never played Allegiance before.

ShadowSwitcher -- available to access Shadow Server
The ShadowSwitcher is for playing our latest release on our back-end server, called the Shadow Server. When you start ShadowSwitcher, it will create a second directory of Allegiance. This tool allows you to switch between the release on the production servers and the Shadow server. You only need to click on which version of Allegiance you wish to play.
CAUTION: Do not try to run Allegiance while the ShadowSwitcher is initially setting up your directory. This can take up to ten minutes. Once you have created your Shadow directory once, you won't need to do it again.
