[Qonfused]

Thanks Stern! You may not be so bad after all!

 

[Lucid]

Awesome, definitely giving this a whirl.

 

[CptStern]

Thanks Stern! You may not be so bad after all!

goddammit I forgot to add "Qonfused need not apply"

Game needs more than 2gb ram in order to install, apparently.

That's ****ing stupid...

Edit: Okay, apparently the game still installs, even though it told me I can't play. Perhaps I can?

Edit 2: According to the FAQ http://www.apbgame.com/apb_faq.php
The recommended requirements are 1gb ram :| wat

 

[Wanted Bob]

Awesome! Thanks Stern!

 

[Stigmata]

That's retarded. I only have 2GB of RAM, I really hope I can play

 

[Unfocused]

I watched some gameplay trailer on youtube and it looked a bit laggy and/or had rather low fps. If a trailer looks like that, I would not be surprised if the game was laggy as shit.

But I registered at eurogamer and am waiting for my activation e-mail; will grab the key and see for myself.

 

[taviow]

Thank you. Got mine!

 

[Qonfused]

My account activation went to my spam folder, so make sure you check there.

 

[Stigmata]

Also;

Our recommended minimum specification for your PC is:

• Core 2 Duo 2Ghz or equivalent
• 2GB RAM (3GB for Vista64 / Windows 7 64)
• nVidia GeForce 7800 - 256MB or equivalent
• 20GB Hard disk space

So 2GB is enough if you're on XP. This is excellent news for me.

 

[Vegeta897]

I think that's silly. Needing more than 2gb of ram alongside that low CPU and GPU requirement is silly.

 

[OmegaX]

Thanks I'll try it out. They seem to be going rather fast, 4,700 left at the moment.

 

[CptStern]

an hour ago there were 8000

 

[OmegaX]

It gave me the EU installer even though I'm from the US. Wonder if that will screw things up...

 

[Vegeta897]

There is no US installer.

Man I just read this in the downloader thing:

"Posting videos and screenshots as well as discussing the BETA outside of the forums is a BREACH OF THE NDA."

Jeez. So if we discuss it here are we all going to be in trouble? What a stupid thing to say, what are they doing to do about it? They're handing out beta keys like condoms and they expect everyone to keep their discussion to their forums only? Give me a break.

 

[Stormy]

DONE!!!1

 

[PJ]

I've got one, cheers Stern!



EDIT: Anyone else's update screen go and come back a couple times?

 

[taviow]

Yes, that happened for me and wouldn't stop. Reinstalling the downloader fixed it.

 

[Qonfused]

NDA 101

 

[Stigmata]

APB Beta rules:

1. You do not talk about the APB Beta
2. You do not talk about the APB Beta
3. You only get in trouble if somebody finds out you talked about the APB Beta

 

[Ravioli]

Req Spec list

Wait, the beta is 20gbs?

Holy ****

 

[TwwIX]

Is this for European players only?

 

[63]

Wait, the beta is 20gbs?

Holy ****

It's a beta, not a demo.

 

[TwwIX]

Website is overloaded. I probably lost my beta key now while registering. ****ing great.

 

[TimoJay]

looks to be all gone. if only I didnt have a job that requires me to work while I'm at work...

 

[Acepilotf14]

None left.
;(

 

[Combine Hybrid]

downloading the EU beta. Will I able to play beta even if I live in NA?

 

[Acepilotf14]

Probably, unless it blocks your IP. Don't expect a good latency, though.

 

[Dalamari]

I'd remove that post if i were you. They got a NDA for a reason.

To sum up what I had here previously:
-Laggy to play if you're American

 

[Mr. Djees]

Amerikuns tuk er keys!

Couldn't run it anyway, probably.

 

[TwwIX]

Beta Details.

[Wanted Bob]

One thing I'm really looking forward to is the character creation. I've seen some amazing things done with it so far. This may actually be the first time I can make a character that looks even close to what I look like.

 

[TwwIX]

Better hurry if you still want one http://www.fileplay.net/keys/21/apb-beta

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

Nice, just grabbed one.

 

[OmegaX]

So when exactly can we start playing? Starting next week?

 

[Wanted Bob]

The servers arent up all the time. They have playtests at certain times for a couple of hours. The next one is on Sunday at 5 pm GMT until 9 pm GMT.

 

[Stigmata]

My launcher closes after about 3 seconds, every time. I can't preload

 

[AmishSlayer]

Wow, they have a seniority system in place to see who gets to test when? Not to mention a 4 hour test window? I'll wait until it opens up more...

 

[Dalamari]

It's been in closed beta since October, there's a good chance it'll open soon...or maybe just release
