YAH!!! Downloading now, I am pretty much done, but by lunch when I can play it will be good to go. That's awesome D3 this weekend, GW2 next!

Oh wow, just found a hint on the blizz forums.

I was downloading at 300kb/s. Which is hella slow. So I googled and found a trick. Un-tick the automatically detect settings under lan in the internet settings in internet explorer. I am current getting anywhere from 3.5mb/s to 4.5mb/s on my 32mbit connection.

SchWING! Downloading as I type this - curiousity factor, admittedly (I'm more a StarCraft/StarCraft II person - I found the original Diablo and D2 meh, to be honest). If they have improved it, I may have to find a place in my game rotation for it.

No kidding.

Still, you have to wait until 3:01PM Eastern Daylight Time/8:01 PM GMT/Zulu (2:01PM EST/CDT, and 12:01PM PDT/11:01 AM PST) to play - though you CAN download the game now.

I find it funny how I uninstalled the game from the Starter Edition mishap from the other day just last night, and now BLAMO open beta :D

It's ok though, I was getting near 8 Mb/s when I redownloaded it earlier. Took like, no time at all really :p

That happened to me too, downloading the beta twice. But with really slow speeds (~19 kb/s), it ****es me off.

Is that your internet speed? If not try this:

1. Un-check use P2P Downloading

2. In the Internet Options (internet explorer -> settings)

-> Go to the Connections tab

-> Click on LAN Settings

-> UnCheck automatically detect settings

I did the above I went from 180kb/s to 3.5->4.5mb/s

I am assuming that folks that are in the beta sold/traded their account to someone so that they could test the bots out prior to the game coming out. These bots were all able to do things that I could not (very fast attacks) as well as all having High level armor/weapons that were magical. they were also all max level. (13)

    • MakeMKV 1.18.4 Beta

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      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

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.
