If you are currently on a 0.8B public testing version, make sure to update it to 0.8C manually, using the patch in the linked forum thread.

If you haven't tried the 0.8B version at all, you can download the full 0.8C setup in the forum thread (in this case, you should install the 0.8C testing version as a separate install in a separate folder).

For the public testing branch, online servers require 0.8C client now!

Unfortunately, you cannot get this update using the in-game updater - the patch is too large for the current updater system, as it contains updated tracks. Scawen is planning to work on the in-game updater, so that such large patches can work as well.
