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.

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.

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

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
