[Banshee]

They were supposed to contact people few days ago, but they haven't contacted anyone yet. I don't know when the keys will be distributed, but I've heard that 'community leaders' (including myself) would get some keys to distribute. So, I'm waiting for it, as much as you are.

Well, I just checked the account I signed up on and didn't get one. =(

[Apollo]

I don't think we get the beta & keys until 17th when is the actual date.

Edit: checked FAQ they got on this so it could be next week too...

How will you notify those who are selected for the beta test?
Beginning the week of August 13, we will begin notifying our first wave of beta testers by email that they have been selected to join the beta test. In order to not overload the Games for Windows Live servers and our feedback forums, we will invite beta testers into the beta test in waves of a few thousand at a time.

If I don't receive an invitation email, does that mean I didn't get in?
If you do not receive an email the week of August 13, that does NOT mean you have not been selected for the beta test. It only means you have not been selected to play in the first wave of beta testers. Once we have determined that the beta test is working properly, we will then open up the beta test to more users the week of August 20, letting in a few thousand testers at a time.

Sry for the Double just wanted to get this seen

Dear Beta Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in the Universe at War: Earth Assault™ beta test. Since the beta signups were first posted on July 23, we have received an overwhelming response from the community and fans. We're excited that so many of you want to help us playtest Universe at War and make it the best RTS possible.

We wanted to let you know that we are still processing all the beta applications and putting the finishing touches on the beta build that we will offer up for testing. Because we are still polishing the build and adding last minute updates, we will be unable to make the original August 17 start date for the beta. We're as disappointed as you must be, but we know that taking the extra time with the build will enable us to offer a better experience for all beta testers.

We apologize for the change in the start date, and now anticipate that the new start date for the beta test will be August 29. As a result, the original end date for signups has been extended into next week. By August 27, we will begin emailing the first wave of beta testers that have been selected for the Universe at War beta test. In the meantime, check out the official game site at www.universeatwargame.com for all updates, and good luck to all of you that have applied for the Universe at War beta.

Sincerely,
The Universe at War: Earth Assault team

[Hogo]

Yeah Vacation for all and That means I might have more time with the beta.

[Admiral_Antilles]

Mmm, I beat the recemend specs easy....

Thanks for posting the specs

[OmegaBolt]

Little heavy system requirements if they will still count for the final release in the future.

[Admiral_Antilles]

Probably will, most Betas have almost the exact some set up as the Full game so...

[Banshee]

Beta specs are usually a bit higher than the final game, for the following reasons:


1) The beta is compiled with the debug settings, instead of release one.

2) They want to make sure that matches doesn't lag due to lack of processors.

[Daz]

Those aren't very high anyway are they?
They're the same as the ones on the C&C3 box.
