I was invited a while back to test RaceRoom in a closed Beta, I just remembered about it and tried to load it and steam threw up this message

Hello,

This is the installation folder of the closed beta builds.

If you were looking for the OPEN BETA, please install it from:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/211500/

So I guess its open ;) Go install, the closed was a load of fun, only complaint was the length of the tracks, bit too short, but the driving was good fun :)

Downloading the open beta now

I was actually thinking about trying it when it popped up on steam. But after reading the blerb it suggested that it came with the bare bones of a game with the option to buy in game cars and tracks. So I didn't bother and went back to playing Dirt Showdown lol.

Let us know how it plays and what you actually get for free.

To be honest, I think the closed beta drove much better than this, this feels much more arcade, less control, I've just played a good few minutes then quit, whereas the close beta I enjoyed, it was difficult but much more realistic.

I`m reviewing the default > quick race right now, I`ll have a play around with the settings and see if I can get the closed beta handling back

Hmm, not sure about trying this now, after all its a 10gig download...

This is me just now, after a good few drinks, using a keyboard (A manual wheel and pedals are VERY needed for this game) I tried playing it with a PS2 pad and it was no easier, even with analogue sticks)

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
