No, there isn't keys to give out or invites. The only way to access open beta is being a closed beta/Elder tester, Collector's Edition/ Standard Edition preorders or belonging to FilePlanet's and Founders' Club Exclusive Access. Sort of a misnomer calling it open beta, isn't it?

I have beta tested it and find the game extremely appealing to say the least. There is bugs in the last build, but this is the most polished of any I have seen previously.

Here's a link to one of the major Warhammer forums, take a look around and see if it might be something you are interested in.

They made it clear way back before CE pre-orders started that OB would be open to anyone with internet.

All I can offer is this page:

http://www.warhammeronline.com/faq/index.php#ans3g

and the Beta signup page:

https://betacenter.eamythic.com/login.php

Concerning the beta sign-up, I think it is still taking applications, worth a shot and it's free.

Other than that, you could post in the Warhammer forums to get a better answer. I personally wish it was open more, but I'm not running the show.

So, can someone who is already in the beta send a invite/beta key to someone? Are they doing that?

Only testers in game at the moment are Elder. Who are hand selected by Mythic due to their excellent feedback. So In short, not yet :p

With you being in Europe if I manage to find a key I'll throw you a PM but I should have a spare account lying about from a guild member who is moving soon so I'm sure he'd be happy to relinquish that as he has the CE too.

Still no word on being able to patch with the fileplanet client?

I am pretty sure I read on Warhammer Alliance that the Preview Weekend client will be able to be updated to the Open Beta and Head Start clients when appropriate. There is also a grace period of sorts after official release to input your real cd key so that your play time will be uninterrupted.

Is it just me or does this just look like WoW? I've been looking forward to this game for ages but it just seems to have slightly updated graphics. Can anyone in the beta enlighten me in changes, and maybe positives and negatives.

Also I thought Warhammer had machine guns and explosives in it rather than focusing on melee and magic :s

The trailer is very good though.

No they don't, the similarities are there because blizz nicked the IP. But that can't be helped. WAR is much, much darker.

Yeah. :/

I could C&P the patch notes but it would help if you told us what you want information on!

All of the classes are C&P from the lore (xpt the Zealot which was constructed for WAR).

haha, sorry, for some reason I remembered WoW being better graphics than that :laugh: Thanks for the comparison image.

Well I shall have a nose around the site and forums, it does look promising but I don't think I will get it since I'm busy with college atm :(

So, I used a Proxy to get a hold of a US/AUS/NZ key from Fileplanet last week and downloaded the client.

Now I got one of these keys as well, which points me to download the same client and register at the same website.

Well there be two different regions for the Open Beta or can I join European servers with my US key account?

Fileplanet download for the client sucks, waiting in line and slow download.

Anyone got a link to a faster download?

I wasn't aware fileplanet had an EU link to the client. :/

Correct, there will be US and EU betas at the same time.

No you can't join the EU servers with a US account, hell you can't even enter a US key on the EU website.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
