Anyone make beta?

[Freebird]

Just wondering. First round of emails went out last night for the start next saturday. We should get a few in when they go to their stress tests, but I was just wondering if anyone made the first round.

Nope, not me... Sucks to because right after I registered for the Beta I totally upgraded my computer...

Hrm. Actually, that usually hurts. Most development teams look for oddball systems when they hand out closed betas. The point is to find compatability and performance problems, so they want to test against the low end of their range performance wise, and they want to test against set-ups that deviate from the rigs they had in the lab. A recently upgraded system doesn't usually give them anything above and beyond the testing capabilities they had for internal beta.

That's why Stigs got on the T2 beta, for example. His rig blew camel ****. :cool:

Stig, no, it wouldn't violate the NDA, as long as we didn't see any pictures of you playing it. ;)

[Stigma]

man, you guys are no fun...was waiting for all the hate ;p

I never applied for the closed beta, didn't want to end up with a situation like I did in T2 beta where I had no time to test it, let alone get it to work

T2 Beta was a bitch. It blew donkey balls on my old rig too, but it was pretty middle of the road back in the day...
