Ok guys, Quake Live are having a MAJOR stress test tomorrow so if you've signed up, don't be surprised if they're going to email you an invite.

But, if you'd like to remain on the safe side, I have TWO invites to give away.

The site appears to be getting hammered at the moment, but the game has been working smoothly for me.

Since the stress test is tomorrow, I'm planning on sending the invites out within the next few hours, all I need is an email address to send them to. I haven't decided quite HOW I'm going to decide who gets the invite, but there will be a preference for upstanding members of the community, so no 1 post wonders please ;p

EDIT: This has been made the sort of "Official Quake Live invite thread", so if you haven't got one, this is the place to look! Don't go PMing random people, I'm sure if you ask nicely here, people will give you one if they can spare it. All anyone needs is your email and your first and last name.

Invites are sent out ONCE per hour, so if you don't get one right away, fret not! You might have just missed the last batch.

If you DO get an invite from someone here and happen to get invites yourself, please think of your fellow neowinners and give them to those here that request them =)

Ahh...I'm afraid guys, BeLGaRaThis going to get it. Didn't really want to disappoint a lot of people, but he IS a longstanding member of neowin, he's a subscribor and he does live in the same City as me (And thus may be buy me a drink at some point, hint hint =P) and he used to work with a friend of mine (But he doesn't know that, oooohhhhh stalking is fun!).

Pm me your email, BeLGaRaTh!

We can turn this into the offical INVITE thread.

For some reason when he invited my first email, the one I thought I used to sign up to the beta for, it said I already GOT an invite,.. which I never did.

(It'll be disturbing if it arrives tomorrow.)

So I had to give him an email I rarely use...

But if I get any invites I'll be sure to fire them off to friends. :)

I only got my invite yesterday, so there's a good chance you'll get 2 as well =)

I never even got the official email to sign in.. thats what worries me.

I check the email I used to sign up for it every single day.. I never saw it in the spam folder, OR the inbox.

No idea what the hell happened to it.

Maybe it went to Phobos instead of me.

Im in the same boat Andrew-DB :( All I can do is choose the practice game. It plays very well though, I'm very surprised, and the AI seems to scale well to your play.

I forgot to mention before, thanks Kushan for the invite code, Kudos to you for that, much appreciated.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
