Official Windows Live Messenger Invitations Thread


Recommended Posts

same here, I want to know if people from The Netherlands are allowed to participate in the Beta.

EDIT: Yes we can participate, but I can not ask for a invite... that's still one tricky thing to overcome...

Considering the fact that I have received a WL Mail invite, I think WL Messenger invites will reach us soon.

Dus ja ik denk van wel, kwestie van tijd

I re-iterate my previous statement. Does anyone know where to put forward suggestions or bugs?

Scroll down to find the image. This I think only is applicable if you're a beta tester and not someone who was invited...

Reporting Bugs

that thread should have all general info about the beta...

this is a waste of time

No one forced you to join, also people do have to be patient. This isn't as widespread of an invite as other invitation only betas...

Finally, please try to limit the off topic discussions here. There is a seperate live beta thread for discussion about the program itself. In addition, do not request for an invite, wait for someone who has invites to inform you that they have invites. That is the purpose of this thread.

this is a waste of time

looks like you only signed up to get an invite so you shouldnt complain...

i got a Live Mail invite in my gmail account but says to go sign up for Hotmail and resign up for Live Mail! lol

Ah ok, must only be for beta testers and not invited people. I don't have it in Connect.

That is NOT a Live Mail invite! It just "reminds" you, that if you would like to have an invite in the future you "should" get a hotmail adress. That's microsoft.

I was granted a Live Mail invite, but for it to work I had to change the country were I live :D

But Live Mail Beta looks good :)

How much are they going for on eBay? I can't look as I'm at school. I might think of selling mine, as I already used one to invite my main account.

how much would you sell one for? lol i may consider buying it :blink:

Man, I hate this. People! It's FREE beta, TimRogers: you are so happy that you could join, but if somebody else wants to join this FREE beta than he/she has to pay for it! This is just stupid. YOU did not pay for the beta, way should somebody else pay for something that isn't even yours! Come on people, there is something called "being not selfish" and "sharing".

Just give your invite to ND2004 so he is happy. Than you can be happy just for making somebody happy WITHOUT getting money for it.

i hope they deal with my Live Mail quickly :)

lol thanks!

How do I go about downloading this thing? I got invited a couple of days ago, signed up, then nothing!

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
