August 25, 200619 yr ><about getting the beta from DVD to downloadable more than 2>weeks after it was supposed to be out on FP, i dont buy>that.>>>>Uh, okay. Anybosy else interested in his?I considered that post one of those things "better left alone", but temptation is my constant downfall.
August 25, 200619 yr >It took this one dude I know about an hour to download the BF>2142 beta.;-) I heard from someone that they already uninstalled it and went back to playing the FSX demo.
August 25, 200619 yr I heard from someone as well that they were having problems connecting to the multiplayer server and it was making them angry.:(
August 25, 200619 yr I just heard that it wouldn't even get into the game and stopped at the Loading screen. }(
August 25, 200619 yr Funny, that doesn't sound like anyone that is suited to being a beta tester. No tester gets "angry" when they find bugs. If you get "angry" you must not be planning to test, but rather just get to use an advanced copy of the product.
August 25, 200619 yr Wouldn't that suggest that they never planned on being a beta tester but rather were just looking to receive an advanced copy of the product for their own pleasure?Bob
August 25, 200619 yr Many beta testers are out there simply to play the game before it is on the store shelves, which is fine because it serves as free publicity for the company.I believe more serious beta testers are like proof readers who detect those paragraphs, lines, words, mistypes or composition irregularities that are overlooked by the original composer.

August 25, 200619 yr Well of course you're not going to be happy if you can't even get into the game in the first place. You're right, people do want to play the game early and I honestly don't see a thing wrong with that. If they play the game and report bugs then excellent. There's no rule that says you have to report bugs and glitches but you're not allowed to actually enjoy playing it.
August 25, 200619 yr Check out this email written to me from Fileplanet after a recent inquiry as to the beta...Greetings Nigel, We apologize for the fact that the emails regarding subscriber's acceptance into the Microsoft Flight Simulator X beta have yet to be released.At this time, they are scheduled to be sent to customers by the end of this week.Again we are very sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.Regards, David Bohm, Customer Service Specialist
August 25, 200619 yr I would guess Friday seeing as how I heard that FP doesnt release Betas on the weekend. However, this could jus tbe the preliminary email stating that the beta will be here next week. Which could possibly come out by sunday. FYI- I have anxiety disorder waiting for this game!!!! Time cannot go by fast enough.
