I have not had any issues like that on the game so far the only issues that i have seen is for the first couple minutes when i am playing all of the animation are horribly slow (like my computer cannot handle it or something) and then once a few minutes has passed the game will run perfect without issue (turned all the way up)

Maybe it is loading all the required files?

I've not noticed it normally myself, but I've had lag spikes where it became visible - so yeah, could be that. I would be surprised if that also appears when they're fully set up.

The delay was also there with SC2 during the first several months of its release, and it was bad. But nowadays it is pretty much unnoticeable, even with my 1-2mpbs connection. They've been working a lot to improve the server-side of things.

I think this is very likely. The load times for D3 are pretty quick, and I think it's because it loads only the bare necessities immediately. I like it - long load times are a pain, and I can survive starting off a bit slowly - often you'll be in town for a few minutes, sorting yourself out.

That's usually the way it goes! I registered with Blizzard fricking ages ago and no sign of an invite :|

Not wishing to rub it in, but I doubt length of time signed up has much effect other than meaning you're around for more waves of invites.Treat it as random luck, there's little point trying to work out *how* they're choosing, because you can't affect that.

No, you haven't been paying for months to get an invite. You've been registered for months for the *chance* to get an invite.

They haven't 'just' announced a delay. They announced a while ago that it wouldn't make Q4 2011, and that they're aiming for Q1 2012. That, afaik, still stands.

Read my post again buddy... i said Baying... not Paying...>! :) : verb : Shout loudly, typically to demand something.

It would have been great if Blizzard gave new beta participants a key to invite their friends. They did this with the StarCraft 2 beta so I don't know why they didn't do it this time. I'm guessing it has something to do with people selling beta keys.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
