Shocked no one on Neowin is playing this. It's a great game that is completely team-play centric.

Things had been relatively tight as far as getting into the current beta has been - I found an account waiting for me *yesterday* after weeks and weeks of coming up empty.

My current system is under the current power curve; however, it's because my CPU is a first-gen Intel quad-core, while my GPU is the AMD HD5450, and it's still more the CPU than GPU.

I'm working on getting upgraded hardware-wise, and it's still a fun game to play besides my system being too wimpy. (And that is despite having a transport shot out from under me, and getting whacked by a tank - twice - in a hasty defense.)

So for the second time in as many weeks I've gotten an email saying I've been accepted into the beta for this game. And yet when I follow the instructions in the email there is no actual way to download the client. And a quick look through their forums shows I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Anyone else experience this and find a way to get the client to work?

planetside2.com/download doesn't work?

Nope. It just takes me to their front page.

I remember back in August many people had the same problem, but I can't remember how to fix it. I would upload the installer, but it would be better if you contact SOEs customer support @ http://help.station....tail/a_id/10404

Got 1 key for grabs, if anyone needs it.

first to reply here with a request, gets it.

I'm only handing out to active members, since last time i gave a key away,

it was a 1 post member who didn't even bother to say thank you, after getting the key.

(i wont be home for next next couple of hours, since i have to go to work today)

Well, I tried to get the Beta up and running but I keep getting

an "insufficient storage" error when it goes to patch. I've searched

the knowledge base at the SOE website but it had nothing, and there

are numerous complaints in the official forum with no answers.

I'm leaning towards avoiding this game all together.

  • 2 weeks later...

just joined, man, what are up with the land vehicles, like the quad bike? its so unresponsive and dull.... flying is not bad, gameplay is challenging so far

Not only that but whoever thought making the 1st person view the default on the quad should be thrown out an airlock :D (By the way you can press T for 3rd person view if you guys didn't know)

By the way, the loading times are looong

Define "looong". Played for 24 hours (according to steam) and didn't really noticed that the loading between spawns and even the initial loading of the game are anything special in the length department.

Especially with the size of the maps and the number of players on screen.

Are you playing on a crappy laptop?

Well, the time between spawns is usually 30 seconds for me. And no, its a gaming, sort of, PC, not a laptop

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
