Please do not post requests for beta keys on the forums. Thanks. :locked:

Just in case people haven't worked this out, when you start the game, the Loading Game Content screen can last for ~10 minutes before successfully loading. You just have to be really patient and try not to say 'no loading screens in sight my donkey' under your breath ;)

Half of the options I set don't get saved in game, so I'm stuck with wonky wheel settings and I can't turn off VOIP :evil: Game crashed but I'll head in for another hour if anyone wants to meetup or cruise (preferably with no mics). Add me as a Ubi friend.

If you've got access to the beta (lucky you!) do feel free to discuss anything not subject to NDA here and not in older threads. Please also use {spoiler} tags where appropriate.

Yes, invited similar to how Soundwave got to visit them a few months back.

Does the NDA allow you to post the NDA here? (I'll read it eventually when I get home). Luckily I've been given special clearance to post YouTube clips as an 'influencer'. Obviously I won't be going out of my way to show off bugs, etc.

umm yeah, it's in the background image :lol:

Don't bother Dan, I'm claiming the win :cheeky: Given that I started the lap looking the wrong way I can say I wasn't even trying on that lap. :lol:

Um, yeah, so? :huh: :hiho:

Yeah more people seemed to get Blur, I remember playing that online with a few but never played SS online. Don't think you can anymore (unless I'm missing a patch).

Thanks Brian, started the download now (so much for compressing the installer) I'll either be playing in around 8 hours from now or I'll have gone over my monthly download quota by then :)

Part 2 of Split Second - doing 'Season' (career) races here which are much harder. (Seriously, it took me an hour to win those first two races). Disclaimer, there is a plane crash near the end of the video.

I was going to post this pic yesterday but the forum exploded Someone on the official forums made this As you take a look, and if you get to play next week, maybe have a think about good cruising routes. TDU1 was fairly easy given it was roughly a decent-size circle, with a couple of alternative routes here and there (i.e. Fergus or east coast, Kelekole or north-west west coast, motorway or south central-coast past police station). TDU1 also had a few iconic meetup and chill-out locations, such as the lighthouses, various dealers or V-Rent shops, and so on. If you spot any good potential spots in The Crew share them here. And of course share your favourite road locations and lookouts with an indication on the map. I'm thinking the bottom-right corner will be a popular chill-out (chat/toilet break) location similar to TDU1's NW lighthouse - just gives me that vibe. There's also a nice twisty road running along the top of the map on the left side toward Seattle that could form part of a good cruise circuit.

Are everyone else's beta keys in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx? Only I've noticed that all my other games on uPlay have the key format of xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx :hmmm:

I guess 1280x720 seems low for PC but many console games have used that resolution in the past and still continue to do so. If you build a PC for games you do so with full knowledge that components will need replacing in a matter of years. The less you spend the sooner you'll need to upgrade. That said, there are 'elite' PC gamers out there who always have to have the latest, so you could potentially grab their gear second hand for a decent price. Laptops, even if they have decent nVidia/ATi chips, aren't officially supported and may not provide a great experience, as was the case with TDU1.

As am I... Plus if we wait til next Wednesday we might have our first entries from The Crew.

I really can't say anything, but it appears Nintendo haven't changed their behaviour from the OP til now.

I'm in thanks to Route 909, no emails from registering for the beta with everyone else. If there's no 'please test this' instructions, I'll probably work my way up to unlocking dirt spec (don't want to spoil too much of story mode) then go looking for the best cruise roads, hopefully with friends.

Or just move to Australia and you can probably download it while (A) at work, or (B) asleep.

Trick is to be reeeeal smoooooth and soft on the gas pedal. As soon as I switch to race mode and tried to keep up I was spinning out all over the place.

Don't let this put you off but there's a half decent chance Julian may read this thread :)

Something tells me you guys aren't trying hard enough :cheeky:

Never mind the rocket :lol:
