APB Beta Key!

[Chalex4]

I just saw this on the news ticker and just got my APB Beta key . I'm downloading the client now (8GB).

Realtime World's promising online cops and robbers effort, APB has finally entered the beta stage - and we're offering CVG readers the chance to join the scuffle.

Once you've gotten your hands on a key enter it at APB sign-up page, with all the other details you'll need to access the game.

Once that's all done, you'll receive a confirmation e-mail. You're now free to download the client, 8GB, in preparation for the next play session, scheduled for this Sunday. You can do that by logging-in here.

Do check your spam boxes by the way, as that's where my confirmation email was sitting.

Be careful out there on the streets of San Paro .

Well that was easy getting a key. I think Bloo mentioned yesterday that he's got a key as well, so that's at least three of us.

Signing up now, Hello 8 Hour download!


EDIT: Signed up, got my BETA key, will start downloading when I can be bothered.

[Chazlene]

Hmm well apparently I don't have the minimum requirements to play it, so it don't think it's gonna install...

downloading now.

This is the recommended which is exactly you almost,

For your reference, the recommended specification for beta PCs at the moment is:

Core2 Quad 2.4Ghz or equivalent
4GB Main Memory
Geforce 8800 512MB or equivalent
20GB free disk space
XP 32 & Vista 64 (Vista 32 not yet advisable)

If you can play UT3 you should be fine.

Bloo told me this earlier:

14:09 - Bloo |ATK|: Sharp Shooters (aka us) for apb get to play tomorrow from 5-9pm, however all the beta groups do so they will be stress-testing and it will lag
14:21 - Bloo |ATK|: Also we're going Enforcer. No questions

Are we all free around then?

Bloo told me this earlier:

Fairly wide time, so Yeah, I should be there - Agreed on Enforcer.

[Bloo]

Nice to see we're not breaking NDA's by posting restricted info on beta times on a public forum.

omg 1 hour 20 to download 8gb is shocking

I hate you . I do roughly 1GB/hour so will do this overnight and play tomorrow

[ez64]

it's not even full speed though as it doesnt use the p2p in the background.

dont press the "use P2P" button as it doesnt work and resets your download to 0.

[Calneon]

Got my key, gonna wait till I'm back at uni to download it though.
