It's official. I'm pissed off. The game is unplayable as of now. The 10-minutes-then-boot crap is annoying. It's release is scheduled for the 19th of May?!

I pray that my new ddr will somehow solve something.

91% downloaded... and now youre telling me I have to wait DAYS for a fediddleing authorisation code?

Sheesh...

Dunno anything about the game, but Ill probably join TR, just because it sounds cool, 'man', and Name will either be Saurdaukar or Mazz.

Any worth to being a pilot in this game?

yea anyone can be a pilot. you get multiple certs so you can have several different "occupations" if you want. Right now every sack of crap out there is flying a reaver, half the time they are firing inviso weapons that make no sound, nothing like taking rounds to turn around and see a reaver 2ft from your head.

There is no real FM, so dont expect anything, flying is tribes was 1000 times harder.

After the latest patch I am crashing a lot, its a nasty memory leak. Plus I really hate the new spawn timers.

Fileplanet guys - you actually have to start the install by clicking the exe file to get the beta key - are you saying you've done this?

When I did it I simply put my Station username and password into the box that comes up (may have to click 'subscribe' or something). I remember it saying I had to be logged into fileplanet in my browser; after doing that I clicked the neccessary button and the code appeared in my browser. It is emailed to my addy just for backup purposes but the beta key appears in your browser.

Or are you having problems with registering with the Station (Sony's game site)?

Sorry to hear you can't get in - you are missing a treat.

It's not exatly crystal the steps you have to follow to get the reg process done. But...I'm all done... almost.

Just the 4 or so hours worth of patches downloading now

I think I just broke my ISP's daily download limits

Its great but the memory leaks play havoc with my HD. Im defragmenting every 2 days if I play 2 or 3 hours a day.

Once they fix that well I think mthey got a winner

When I signed up the for the exclusive beta I had to but since my machine didn't meet some of the minimum requirements to be eligible for the exclusive beta, I had to make some 'corrections' to my DXDiag file. Two weeks later I got in and have been playing since.

Tonight's patch addressed some of the memory leak issues (apparently there's a few) and hopefully Saturday or Sunday's patch will address even more.

Right now the biggest squeak I have about the game is that it doesn't save your config files for any of the settings.
