Viper/DL - are you signed up to the newsletter? Also make sure you have Origin installed too.

Anaron - I got the same email a few days ago. When I checked my EA account was a Origin account anyway. Not sure what's going on there... :/

(sorry for the brief reply I'm on my Desire)

Yep, all of the above actually.

I have been signed up for the newsletter, linked up Origin then installed the client both the first days they were announced, so just not sure what it is at this point.

It figures honestly, I have gotten into almost every other EA alpha/beta they have launched in the past 2 years, get into so many other ones on the PC, PSN, and Live, most of which I could care less, but the one I actually want to be a part of I am not getting into. At this point I am done trying. Hopefully I will eventually get the invite, if not for whatever reason it just was not meant to be.

Thanks for trying to help, I just am not getting into this one apparently.

Yes, Signed up for news letter, I have an origin account (and orgin installed on my pc), and updated my veteran status

EDIT **** I GOT IN!

Apparently first time I signed up for news letter it didn't take. Signed up, got news letter confirmation, signed into alpha!

The first thing I did after reading about the alpha is log into my Battlefield veteran account here: http://veteran.battlefield.com/

The second thing I did was activate the email address associated with my EA account. I've had the account since 2009 and oddly enough, it wasn't activated so most of you should have already done this when making your account.

The third thing I did was sign up for the EA newsletter. This can be done by logging into your EA account and changing your contact options (see "Contact me about EA's products & news"). Make sure you receive a confirmation email for this because I didn't get one the first time I signed up. I signed up again and received a confirmation email shortly after.

Everyone with an alpha is dead to me!

:cry:

you can get it too just sign-up for the news letter you may have to press it a couple times for it to register check your e-mail adress for confirmation. make sure your vet status is up to date . go to the alpha site and sign up

I'm in finally as well. It sounds like everyone is. Now when I will get to check it out is a whole other story. Hope tomorrow night at some point.

I wish cry.gif I've been signed up for the newsletter as long as I can remember and still nothing.

I can't even play it long enough to judge it because it runs like trash. I was just playing the indoor portion of the map and I was getting FPS dips to around 30-40FPS, so I quit on the spot. Not to mention it looks horrible too.

System Specs:

Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz

8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600

MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr 2 1GB

Turns out it installed the game on my SSD too, and load times are still pretty bad.

I know this is still an Alpha, but if I can't even run this game on low with a modern system, then all thoughts of me putting it through it's paces now can be forgotten. I'm praying the Beta is better than this.

My specs are worse (2.6ghz amd quad, 4gb ddr2, ati 6850)

runs fine, as good as bc2

Its alpha, as in not even beta yet. very early development. Bound to not run well for everyone.

And IMO while it obviously doesn't look as good as the fault line videos and other demos we've seen yet, it looks good. An overall improvement to bc2. Better lighting, better weapon textures, better animations.

I suppose it could be an unlucky combination of hardware. I just find it incredibly frustrating getting an alpha code to a game I've been dying to play since they announced it only to find out I can't even run it decently.

In my opinion even on high the game looks worse than BC2 maxed out in it's current state. Nothing looks better, aside from a handful of textures here and there (mostly the weapons and characters, some map textures). I still think BC2 is still one of the most polished looking games available at this point in time.

I'm going to assume it'll only getting better from the Beta onward, but I just fail to see the point in releasing something like an alpha when assumingly a more polished Beta is on the way a little over a month from now. This has done nothing but leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Apparently the nvidia beta drivers that are being released will support SLi, so maybe it is better I cannot play until tomorrow night anyway. Will see.

As a fellow BF junkie and Vet... I await your impressions.. ;)

I stopped keeping my rig updated for gaming years ago (still on a FX-55);

So the console version is my only hope. Being this game appears to have been catered to the console player, I'm sure I won't be missing anything (I loved playing Commander in the 2nd).

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
