I really hope performance is better this time around. Last flight was unplayable for me on PC.
Lot of variables on PC but a bunch of bugs, including a number of specific performance issues, have been addressed. But, this still isn't the final shipping build and that work is ongoing, so could still be some bumps.
hope I get in, also we get the email saying we're invited the day of? cus I really hope it's a few days before so my garbage internet can install the game before the flight goes live
last time we sent out pre-selection emails ahead of time to let folks know so they could prepare. As far as I know we're doing similar again. Though, one learning we had was sending hundreds of thousands of emails took a long time. Some people were still receiving emails 2 days later.
Anyone know if I update my dxdiag between the 13 and 24th if I’ll be good? I’m getting a new graphics card between then.
If you've only selected PC and your current PC doesn't meet system requirements, you may not get invited. If your old GPU is good enough, won't matter.
Yeah that makes sense. I guess it was just a series of unfortunate events. Although I do wonder about what the percentage of people who get invited. All my friends were invited to the other flights which is what got me worried that I did something wrong
for the last flight, we invited hundreds of thousands of people but we had more who didn't get invited. this time we're inviting way more folks (but there are also way more insiders now). Really good chance every Insider is getting invited this time unless we suddenly have a million more sign-ups and the team gets worried it'll all crumble right out of the gate. :)
If you have green check marks you should be good (I assume console isn't green because you chose PC, which is fine, and I assume PC is green meaning you have a DXDIAG uploaded, Steam account linked, etc.)
Yeah they can't fix it but something messes up on their end that gives access to the wrong platform even if you only enabled the on you want to play on.
last time a number of people who signed up for PC but either didn't include a DXDIAG or didn't meet min system targets were instead just sent an Xbox invite. yeah, kinda weird, I know, and not really the intent.
Sorry for the late reply here, I understand this has caused quite a stir!
As I understand it, this is an error and is not the team's intention. Text strings are run through a filtering service and it looks like something is a bit awry with the rules/settings. We don't have plans to block "Fat Kid" as a gametype string. (though, I do love the alternate naming ideas lol)
