Halo 3's beta you had to glitch to get into custom if I remember.

haha yeah.. you did. But I've been unable to glitch to get it for Reach thus far.

I remember having to get a party together, have someone leave, invites you, you kick someone.. I can't remember. It was the most idiotic series of events you needed to get into custom games, lol.

No, they really dropped the ball on that :(. They should have kept in custom like they did with Halo 3's beta.

I can't get into any games with friends so I'm done until later. My friends list went from 20 people playing Reach to 6 people since majority were unable to connect properly (even those who had FnF code / beta.)

You do know theres a LOT of stuff missing in the Beta, because its a BETA, dont doubt bungie just yet.

@Munky: Nice. I went 14 - 6 last game.

Instead of trying to be patronizing, you can stop taking my post out of context. I said they really dropped on the ball [on the beta] by not including custom lobby. I'd say it's detrimental for those that are actually interested in messing around with the current maps and gametypes to try to find bugs and glitches to report them to Bungie.

That's the point of a beta. To beta test it. I'm not going to beta test with a bunch of other r-tards running around in matchmaking. I'd rather have a custom lobby to do that so YES, I think they dropped the ball by NOT including custom lobby.

That being said I'm still trying to glitch a custom lobby to see if it can be attainable like it was with Halo 3 with glitching.

I'm not doubting Bungie. Having been with this franchise since Halo: CE came out, I'd say it's safe to say that you don't know me nor my passion for Halo and/or Bungie. I'm just able to approach their games with logic versus bias.

They left out custom games cause they said they needed the test data, and all people did in H3 Beta custom was run around with plasma pistols and rockets at 10% gravity with 200% speed :rofl:

Exactly....

@Cupcake: I wasnt patronizing you, i just it when people make acusations so early. Really? Ok your a passionate halo player, so am i. But at the same time, a BETA requires REAL TIME TESTING. Custom games is NEVER real time testing. Yeah sure you find a glitch, you find etc, BUT, I can see people abuse the hell out of it and not report it....

SO custom games ='s Secret hiding / camping spots OR public testing while in a game..

Honestly Live Data over Custom Data.

What accusations was I making other then stating that they dropped the ball on including the custom lobby? Anyway, judging from your assumptions, you really don't grasp the fact that there are a plethora of legitimate people that enjoy looking for bugs and glitches to make the overall experience better versus using it to his/her own advantage.

Anyway, it useless to even reply to you. Go on thinking that people who want access to a custom lobby are because they want to find a camping spot. :rofl:

In a nutshell, fine tuning the gaming experience includes reporting bugs/glitches/etc.

Why do you think MW2 could have done well with a beta? All of the glitches that were found after it's release truly ruined gaming experience for some people (eg: unlimited care package, javelin glitch, et al.) They patched up ANY bugs/glitches to make the gaming experience better.

Obviously you won't find ALL that might be there but at least the ones that are found can be resolved immediately.

Edit: Editing your post after I reply ftl :(. SP = Smashing Pumpkin?

I'm not saying that bugs & glitches aren't found during these betas, but they are not the purpose of them. That is what Sikh and I are trying to say.

These betas are for stat collection. Not even just related to how the game plays (like power of weapons), but collecting the data on people's broadband connections etc.

Halo 2 provided Bungie with a lifetime of details on glitches :laugh: That's why both H3 and ODST were pretty much perfect apart from the 1 or 2 glitches. In fact I don't even recall any problems with ODST's but that was pretty much a straight port of H3's MP anyway.

Edit: and yeah SP = Smashing Pumpkin.

If anyone gotta anything going and needs another, just shoot me a invite. And this from bungie.net"

"Yup, the backend servers are getting hammered.

We're aware and working to resolve slow matchmaking times and inaccessible playlists. As soon as we're back up and running at full capacity, we'll make some noise. Stay tuned for more information and thanks for your patience."

Just a note to people. It doesn't seem to be finding anyone in parties ATM games. Greeneye and I searched solo and both found games. :)

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28

      By Copernic · Posted

      TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.

    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
