Too late to try beta2 for new pre-orders?

from Elemental Forums

Hi there,

I apologize if this is the wrong place or if I had a bad search string.  I saw that beta1 was only sent out to folks that pre-ordered before beta1 was released, but I saw no reference to beta2.  I just purchased the pre-order and I was expecting to receive a serial # in the email or see that the game was added to my impulse account.

I waited a little bit, but it still has not shown so I suspect that I may not receive it (the key/info).  Since beta2 just came out, I would imagine that it will be quite some time before another beta is released and I am really excited to give it a try - since I have been watching development (at a distance) since it was posted on a GC2 posting awhile ago (feels like years now).

Since it was just released.. is it possible to request access to the binaries somewhere?

Sincerely,

Ben

Beta 2 was open until beta 2A came (which happened this Thursday), I may be wrong,  but I think you will have to wait until Beta 3 is out. Sorry.

well if you haven't tried it (some people aren't aware) you must set impulse to show pre-release versions under the blue menu in the upper left corner.

Ferang,  Thank you for offering that suggestion, but that was the first thing I tried after trying to figure out why I could not download it.

I guess I will try emailing SD to see if they have any suggestions.    I just wanted to query the community first.  If Beta 2B is coming out in a week or so that is not too bad, but if Beta 3 is several weeks out then I would have to imagine there is some type of solution.

Thank you again guys.

Preorders are back on queue as of earlier today. Unless Brad opts to bring in more testers sooner, you can assume your order will be charged and access granted with Beta 3.
