[Saint]

woot!

[Yuyi]

Just signed up. Pwned.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

I signed up 20 minutes ago afex, you are slow on the uptake. ;)

[Saint]

Uh oh, I submitted my DXDig.txt of the computer I am on right now. My new computer is being worked on, but I filled out the questioneer with the correct specs, hopefully they will believe what I said.

[Khronos]

cool. just signed up. Took a while cause had to register first heh.

THanks for notifying :p

[KeviN]

Doh, they still got the 18 yrs. or older thing in. :(

[Toimu]

I signed up.

[TheGreatCarbini]

In the "Why yould you be a good tester" spot. Did anyone put "Cuase if you don't let me in I'm going to kill you"?

I was gonna but... I gave peace a chance.

[Tyr]

I signed up back when the original signups were up, but I had a 900mhz comp at the time. I now have a 2ghz, and im worried that im gonna get rejected because I had under the 1ghz min requirement (thats what it is right?) When I signed into the station, it said my application was already complete, so I assume that my old one transfered. So what do you guys think I should do? I dont see anywhere to modify my info. Is there somewhere I can send an email, or anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys,
-Tyr

[MrVulcan]

YAAAAA!!! :D :D :D :D
Time tp party! party:
:rock: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Need beta... need beta....:drools:

Now just to wait for the e-mail saying that I got in :p

[Led]

Easygoing, fun loving cute female seeks handsome beta priveledges. Not fearful of commitment. Likes sugar, snuggling, long moonlit walks along the beach, and flying fully laden Galaxies full tilt through canyon terrain. Relishes screams of fear from victi... passengers. Beta must be willing to accommodate silly hat.

:D

That should do the trick!

[Airlift]

Hey Tyr:

there is a link in this thread-> http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3138

[HRR Raven]

Make sure not to sign up if you did last time, because I believe you lose your spot in line for the beta if you do so. Everyone that signed up earlier gets first dibs, I believe.

[BUGGER]

hmmm........now that ya said beta in the forum........I think a good amount of ppl are signing up (good amount as in 50000 ppl)

[AztecWarrior]

I hope I got in... the only problem is 256 RAM. I've never had a RAM problem before, though! Any game I throw at it (including UT2k3) was swallowed up, spit back out, and my PC yelled "THIS is a challenge?"

[powdahound]

Finally got to sign up this time. :) Missed the first time due to RL stuff going on. :p

I can't believe they didn't have any Audigy 2 cards in the sound list... Oh well, I think 56k is more of a problem, but hopefully they'll want some of us to test it out!

[Derfud]

Good luck

[D-fective]

I've having an error every time I try to create a new account. Its says "We're sorry, there has been an error. Please try again!" Can anyone help me?

[MrVulcan]

that happened to me the 1st 7 times i tried to submit it, jsut give it a few min, and try again, prob just a busy server. If it keeps on having problems I would contact the PS dudes

[D-fective]

Alright, Thanks alot for the info bro :)

[D-fective]

Damnit, Well I've done it about a 100 times....and its not working

[Hellsfire123]

"let in more each week until open beta"


Each week? And they still aiming for end of Q1? Theres only 6 weeks left! Makes you wonder how many weeks till open, and how many they will let in.

im sorry man, dont know what to tell you, I would e-mail the PS site staff about the problems. Also try to register via a diff computer, see if that helps. Best of luck to ya :)

[D-fective]

Hey np, Thanks alot for your help though man.

Hopefully the date will hold. It's been their number one thing and I think they might be able to manage it. Although even if they don't, they said they would end up with 20,000 in the open beta. So either bought or beta, you will most likely be playign in some form by march 31.

[afex]

i honestly doubt the march31 date will hold. but we're not talking forever here.

maybe end of april instead.

[MrVulcan]

I do however think that the open will be here by march 31, and what is the diff? Playing PS is playing PS, even if we dont have to pay for it for a few days :D

I am also having this prob....had the same prob while trying to sign up for the first beta. It screwed me from beta the first time around & now the second time. I've emailed SOE a few times on this issue, but nothing seems to be done about it....:tear:

[txMaddog]

Anyone else have problems with the section where you send your dxdiag.txt?? I did the 'Browse' thing but it never showed int he text box, I sent it direct just in case.

Also I think they need to update their form's 'What FPS's have/do you play section.' Where's RtCW, MoH, BF1942 and a lot of others??

guys, try setting your internet security to the lowest setting and apply, sometimes the settings can mess stuff up. Just an idea :D

[Arshune]

I think the server is just angry at everyone. I just kept trying and it went.

[Confectrix]

Spock,

I have a firewall and it went through no problem. Probably just congestion.

Keep trying.

[Flameseeker]

I seriously doubt I will get in. :( I have 32 MB video card, 128 RAM, and a 800-950 Mhz processor. Oh well. I'll just have to hope I make it into War3 Xpack Beta.

I doubt we will all get in first off.

Secondly, at one point the producers letter said that Open Beta would start March 2nd, however, since then it has been editted out.

This does tell me though that they are pushing like mad to finish. They could easily go gold the day they do external, most of those patches are server side, and those that aren't can be patched after buying the game.

After they go gold, it takes 2-3 weeks to get the game in stores, depending on how hard they push. That means if they go gold by March 14th (which is 3 weeks of internal testing), and start open beta then, they could have it on shelves by March 31st (which gives 2 weeks of open beta).

They can make it, since they are 100% feature finished, the betas will be fairly short. All they are doing now is balancing features, which they could always do after release, doing bug fixes, which they can do after release, and giving the server side stress test and fixing their server coding, which they really have to do before release.

It is still possible for them to make it, and don't count them out yet.

Oh i do think that a lot of the problems are jsut congestion, but if your security settings are set to mess with cookies, java, scans, etc it blocks a lot of things like this. A firewall isnt the only thing that can mess stuff like that up. (take it from a code monkey)

yep yep, but remember that 20,000 people will be in the open, that is a very good chance at getting in.

and you are the 2nd person to tell me about the date being the 2nd, I didnt get to see it b4 it was cut out, but if that date is even close, it makes a lot of sense as far as all the other dates.

If it is the 2nd that will be great, as it is only 8 days away!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the suggestion, but, tried everything...is at the lowest settings! Oh well...if SOE doesn't care neither do I!

[D-fective]

Well thats my philosiphy too Nighthawk. They dont give a shit about us, then we dont give a shit about them!

Yea, the way I see it...I'll just take my frustration out on the first Vanu or NC I see when the game is released!!:thumbsup:

[TGF NightHawk]

Ok....just completed my registration...whew!!;)

[D-fective]

Did you do anything special to get it working?

[TGF NightHawk]

Well, not really! My PC must not of liked the certificate security crap. Anyway..I used my son's PC and got into the beta page and then switched back to my computer & filled out the info & sent the DxDiag file. You must send the file from the PC you are going to be using tho!!;)

[Kyonye]

if someone could help me. i got through part 1 of the beta signup. when they asked for my dxdiag.txt, it never showed up on my screen. it started saying something about it might be under a different name but i doubt it. if you could help me figure out my problem, that would be very nice of whom ever it may be to help me.

[Hamma]

Try and re-submit it here:

[AztecWarrior]

If you registered the first time, will re-registering drop your position in line?

[D-fective]

Damnit, I still cant seem to register....

*starts to cry*

[OmnipotentKiwi]

You can't re-register. If you try to access your account it just gives you the option to update your DXDiag file.

[Big Bro]

I'm dying here... All these dang screenshots and beta testing going on and stuff is makin' me HUNGRY!

For the price of just one beta copy, you can help feed the inhuman hunger of one poor gamer who just couldn't wait for release.

hehehe... Seriously, I've never been a beta tester, but I've always wanted to help affect a game like this in a positive way. Hope I git picked!

[Rifle]

what i am wondering is is who are the 50 who got in? Seeing as Bonniedundee, Marsman, and Hamma have been real pillars of the community and all, I wonder if they got in? And if you did, or someone else who did happens across this post (not likely since they'll be blasting VS and NC scum 24/7) would you care to regale us with tales of battles?:trrocks: :sniper: :vssucks: :ncsucks:

[Tolvy]

So do you HAVE to meet ALL the req. to get into beta? Cause I am just barely below the req. I have a 32M Grafics card, but everything else is OK. Think there is any chance I'll get in at all?

[Hamma]

Perhaps not closed beta. But once open comes they will be letting in all sorts of configurations

[Tolvy]

I don't care about closed beta. As long as I get into open beta, I'll be happy.

[MANIAC~VVV~]

rgr rgr...the next fix is in sight:D

[dukeacem]

I have no hope of getting selected seeing as I've never tested before and other things but I still applied!

[Spy]

How much longer until open beta comes along do you think?

[Hamma]

:confused:

Better be soon if they expect to hit their release date.

And by soon I mean 2 weeks ago. ;)

[Spy]

I wont have a problem with a later release date, as long as i get in the open beta;)

[Cao_Cao]

yay

[Destroyeron]

beta signups...*faints*

[BigTony]

:confused: What!? Someone help! my video card isnt in their list! What the hell am i supposed to do with my Raedon 9700? Someone! HELP! ahhhhhhhhhhh!

[IDgaf]

Well, I signed up.

I felt like I was making a pact with the devil though. Their Ts&Cs are bad (owning all rights to submissions in perpetuityand throughout the known universe), but their NDA is worse.

I'm almost hoping I don't get in.

'Kin legals - trying to play God.

IDgaf.

Just put the closest Radeon, and the DXDiag files will tell them what you really have anyhow.

[BigTony]

Ahhh thanks yea i just did that anyway man anyone know when they will be sending the emails?

[Hamma]

Emails go out on set intervals. I dont know what the intervals are exactly, but they dont send them all at once.

[MiniOrca]

I signed up on Feb. 25 03, it seems like forever but i hope im up here in line :wantbeta:

[floor]

about how many are in the beta right now?

[Bodak]

sniff....something So beautiful has happened to me, perhaps some of you know what i'm talking about... :cool:

[Anam Nantom]

Wha? I don't get it, I already signed up.. and I don't see where to "sign" again.. ehh?

[Anam Nantom]

Well, ho diddly do, I guess this means me too!

:)

Gotta check my cross-references though.. :D

[Anam Nantom]

If I learned to read before I weep, hehe.

Thanks for the post Hamma, I think that'll settle our worried nerves for now.. hehe

Intervals.. ok, good .. yes intervals, that's it..

:)

[AngelusExAra]

My friend just got accepted into the beta by telling them how he was a unmatched gamer in the first person shooter arena... he got accepted within a few days of his application, which was about a week ago, thus showing that signing up earlier doesnt give you first dibs, and that cheaters can prosper...

[discobiscuit]

he bulk sorted....

they have abandoned hand picking a long time ago

[SpacemanSpiff]

Only about a week for us to get our first batch of Open Beta cd's. :D
