	Betas coming in... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I posted in the "still no beta" thread, but figured that didn't make sense any more

Mine came today, was here at noon ET, via Airborne Express.

Looks like it shipped yesterday...

So, where do you live? I want to know when I'll be getting mine. If you're in Washington, I should get mine by Tuesday. If you're in California, I should get it today.

	Got spare money?

There are way too many people living in California. Scot, ponyguy, me, and then some other people around here also, I forget who exactly.

Maybe we should get together some time?

Washington, as in D.C.? Then you are close. Baltimore.


Hey, if it came from Redmond to here in a day, you should get it soon...

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I live just north of Washington State. You'd think I'd have gotten mine already, no?

what do you think of the specs?

"It is recommended that your computer have a processor speed of 1 gigahertz (GHz) or higher, at least 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce 3 video card or better, and a broadband Internet connection for Internet multiplayer play."

Not a problem, even my laptop (barely) makes it, but it does seem high for a strat game. I have been out of RTS for a while, is this standard?

I live in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, if any of you know where that is. The name Rancho Bernardo and San Diego both imply that I live in the desert, but no, where I live it's pretty green.

	System recs Put an end to popups!

For anyone interested, the system specs for the beta are higher than the specs for the final release. Our minimum spec for the final release will be a 500gig, 128 Megs of Ram, win98 or higher. A lot of our work since the beta was sent out has been on improving performance, and we've made substantial gains.

Best,
Tim

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Thanks Tim!

Will we be getting info on where to report bugs?

I am already encountering a repeatable creash inthe Boudecia (sp?) tutorial.

Oh, and for what it is worth, the performance on my laptop (which is fairly close to the rec.spec. - 1.2GHz, 512MB, GeForce4 32MB) is quite suitable so far.

	Suffering from ads?

I'm not sure about the bug reporting process; MS usually processes bugs through their playtest and passes them on to us. Sorry I can't be more help!

	Tired of ads?

Also hoping my copy will arrive soon. Still i'm on the other site of the big pond... so it will probably take a bit.

Hope it comes quickly though.. i'm getting a bad name in our neighborhood for jumping at anyone getting close to our house and strip searching them for my copy.

People just don't understand about the important priorities in life!

Tim,
That's REALLY good to hear. I was playing the beta last night, and it's an awsome game, but it was slugish on my (admittedly very borderline) system -- especially when the map started to get a lot of units on it. I'm happy to hear that you guys are working on that, since I was getting worried .
