they send an e-mail if your in the beta if you havent gotten an e-mail stating your in the beta then you are not in.

I've gotten beta invites on two separate accounts. One got an email, the other didn't. (Checked the junk folder and everything.) It just showed up on the account page. When they did the mass invites awhile back there were a couple threads on fansite forums about that happening to other people as well.

Eurogamer has 1000 beta keys going to members who visit the page. Just got mine and off to download the client.

:(

Update: Sorry, too slow! Or rather, 1000 other people were too quick. They all went in around 20 minutes.

Guess I am just not meant to get in lol.

I've never played any of the Diabo series so I've been wanting to test Diablo 3. Though at this rate I won't be able to. :(

I played the first one, and the first d2 didn't play the expansion though. Needles to say, not getting into this beta prepared me for not getting into gw2 lol

Got my 1st proper play though and I enjoyed it immensely. Im just about lvl9 now and its starting to kick into gear a bit. Skills system I thought was a bit akward at 1st but im getting used to it now.

Tho its now got me properly intrigued as to how Torchlight 2 will stack up against it.

Am going to play it through and then give a full and honest review I think. Still learning and need to try a few classes out.

Yeh its a lot of fun. The story and wee bits shine through. Im just after venturing down in the crypts and taking on a few interesting fellows. They`ve got some nice mechanics in place to try and spur you along. The rooms involving pillars and mass undead spawns are pretty fun. 110kills in one session I got through that and a big chunk of xp. The Demon Hunter is a nice play aswell, ranged and full of slowing effects etc. There aoe slow effect rocks! But there stealth is crap imho, so far. Cant beat setting up an aoe slow, then holding down right mouse and firing hundreds of arrows in barrage at the advancing horde.

Theres the odd rough edge, but not much. The wells when clicked on can be a bit funny about actually transporting you. This is my 1st Diablo game, so like I said still learning a lot.

I wont ruin the story as its pretty decent and the quests have a nice amount of voice acting in them, not to mention the various bits of lore you pick up along the way are all voiced aswell. Good game so far and Id pick it up in a heart beat, and thats without having played the co-op mode. Tho I do now have the Templar Warrior following me about and generally being a bit of a tard. I dear say he,ll get better/useful as it progresses but other than as a basic tank at moment hes just excess baggage.

This vs TL2 tho is going to be very interesting as TL2 looks like Wow in many ways, but Diablo doesnt. Then theres the issue of updating and adding new content. Will Blizzard add to this like they have with Wow or just leave it be? Will TL2 follow suit if Blizzard update? etc etc. Should be a good year for these top down dungeon crawlers. If thats what this game is :p

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
