== Lobby ==

Make sure your lobby client is configured to use the correct spring binary & unitsync!
On Linux, this will usually be ''/usr/local/bin/spring'' & ''/usr/local/lib/libunitsync.so''.

Use one of the test lobby servers (recommended):
* ''lobby1.springlobby.info:8200''
* ''lobby2.springlobby.info:8200''

Or alternatively, configure your lobby so it does not insist using the release version of the engine:
* SpringLobby: set <code>DisableVersionCheck=1</code> in ''springlobby.conf''
* TASClient: press CTRL+SHIFT+F6 and enable "Ignore server version incompatibility"
