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?

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.

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.

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.

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

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

      Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
