Correction: If everything goes as planned beta access will be given in under 3 hours for those whom it may apply. Then we have the uncertainties:
- Not all the keys may be given out at once, so this might cause a delay for many.
- You might have difficulties finding the download (at least lots did with the stress test).
- You need to download the 4+ GB installation file, and if nothing has improved from the stress test a little connection error will force you to start all over, even if you use a DM.
- Impatient people are spamming the public forum and staying up all night to play the beta when in comes out. In other words; expect server difficulties and low download speeds.
- You might experience installation problems. One possible solution could be to download the file and install the game once more (Refer above).
- When installed properly, you will encounter additional problems. It is a beta after all.

All could go smooth, but I would be prepared for "the worst" to prevent a lot of frustration and disappointment on the part of the more emotional fans.

Tip: If you are using any kind of emulating software aka WinIso, PowerIso, DaemonTools, etc., DISABLE those before you play the game - otherwise it will crash the game to desktop with popup window asking you to insert the original DVD

Still haven`t mine key but hope for the best, so see ya in game/Conflux.

From Irina:

Quote:

Hello Heroes,

I can see you are not patient. We have to wait until 6 p.m., so not so long actually!

I have some answers to your questions:

- For those of you who have pre-ordered on Ubishop : your Beta key will be sent today by 6 p.m.

- Please, contact your retailer if you have pre-ordered via another retailer.

- As for the end of the Public Closed Beta: it will be running for at least 3 weeks.

- At 6 p.m. you will be able to download the Beta !

Keep cool, the Beta is coming in 2 ... nope in 1.5 h!



I hope it runs for more than 3 weeks! I was hoping to play it up until release. These will be a very busy 3 weeks for me.

How about the "private" beta participants - how are we getting our keys? An e-mail from Ubisoft I guess but still a confirmation + expected time of arrival will be nice.

Anyone having trouble accessing the official site? It's just loading forever for me. It is because of the massive amount of people trying to access it at the same time?

They are getting hammered as well as updating their main page.  Just check back later.

I also wish Steam would hurry up as well.  I swear if they pull this, "oh sorry guys we didn't get any keys" like the last game I pre-ordered from them I am going to be very upset.

Kudos to all you people who are getting your emails from Ubi Store though.  At least they seem to be on top of things.

I preordered on Steam months ago. It doesn't seem like they've sent out the beta keys yet, and their forums are currently down. Hopefully the keys will come later today.
