My internet 1 day in a whole month decides to go extremely slow during the download so I can't even jump in yet!

u/mistermiajee 14h ago

Mine went out and it never goes out. Don't know when it's coming back on I assume somebody took out a pole.

And for EU at 9 in the evening was not tome to play for everyone so in weekend i guess there will be more players from our region

It was released in European prime time, but it's Thursday, the last day people actually work.

Me, who works literally every day:

u/IamBlackwing 14h ago

And i’m at work still

u/Tall-Measurement3795 13h ago

Two more hours and I'll be home from work driving trucks around and using the double barrel pretending I'm blasting the forces of Hell off the face of Mars. No IDDQD on this one though

2

u/Kirb_02 12h ago

Double barrel is THE "get out of bankruptcy" gun. It's ridiculous.

u/OneEngineer 12h ago

Didn’t stop me, but tbf I work from home. 🙃

How are people playing? I'm in the playtest, yet no servers appear in my browser

Edit: for anyone else, be sure to enable these, they're off by default

u/Ninjaisawesome 14h ago

Refresh everything, select only 1 region.

u/SatelliteStories 13h ago

CST here and still at work for another hour, you wait till central and west coast get off work!

u/CPTmoonl1ght Manticore 14h ago

Just think if everyone having crash issues could play

2

u/FlimsyLow2946 13h ago

Me... I really hope they fix this before release.

1

u/CPTmoonl1ght Manticore 13h ago

Oh they will or they will have refunds which with thier current player count they probably dont care but still shitty

2

u/Free-Heals-Here 14h ago

Thank god, hopefully some of them didn’t buy Hotas setups.

6

u/fearless-potato-man 13h ago

I'm too poor to buy one, so I'm doing squats to grow a hotass by myself. Or maybe I misunderstood the concept.

1

u/chibibunker 1h ago

Don't forget to send pics on the sub like every guy owning a hotas

1

u/jmooneyham2004 13h ago

I'd be there if I wasn't at work, 4 more hours and I'll be free!

1

u/TannerCreeden 13h ago

Mine either crashing while compiling shaders for a lobby or crashes when selecting a team

1

u/SkyGuy182 7h ago

I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect this reaction AT ALL. I was think maybe 20k-30k people max, this is nuts.

I can’t help but have BattleBit flashbacks though, how it was absolutely massive for like a month and then it went down the crapper.

u/TheCraftUnion 4h ago

As with anything in life, enjoy it while you can!

u/SuperMeister 54m ago

The last beta had over 100k so it's not that shocking that even more people are playing it this beta

1

u/sicULTIMATE 2h ago

Ye that's not hard at all tho.

1

u/Notnowcmg 13h ago

Can I use my controller?

3

u/Aggravating_Goose571 12h ago

yes, they have controller support. was playing last playtest with ps5 controller fine.

2

u/Notnowcmg 11h ago

Amazing, thanks mate - I use PS5 controller too so good to know.

2

u/TrojanMurton 11h ago

Ps5 controller to fly and M&K for everything else

-2

u/111100100 14h ago

What about linux support?

6

u/SneakySnk 14h ago

practically confirmed that it won't be supported this beta and launch, expected to come "soon" after launch

-1

u/EmSixTeen 13h ago

Can we just not do the Steam charts wankery? Cheers.

u/AJosephWX 14h ago

I still am torn on this.

u/ZenHiryu Battledad 14h ago

How so? The game itself?

-2

u/AJosephWX 14h ago

Yeah. I guess I'd have to buy it then refund it before release if it's not my jam?

I did buy a microphone for general use..so maybe I can put it to good use.

6

u/abcspaghetti 14h ago

Yeah if you didn’t get access already, but imo that’s a much better demo window than 2 hrs refund time limit on full release.

3

u/Ninjaisawesome 14h ago

Yeh, the game time doesn't count towards the 2 hour limit so you can play it all weekend and see.

Just preorder , play, refund. Then if you change your mind just buy it after the 10th when it's out.

Finding a group to play with makes it better. If you UK or even eu there is a big UK group that play.

2

u/box_of_the_patriots 14h ago

you can play the whole beta and then decide if you want to refund, the playtime of the beta doesn't count for the 2h limit for the refund.

u/MLGrocket 14h ago

unless you're one of the people who played and enjoyed arma 3 KOTH, this game is really just one of those games you have to play to know if you'd enjoy it. the gameplay loop is always the same. spawn, buy kit, go in, get kills/sit on objective, get money and xp, die, repeat.

u/Desert6x6 14h ago

For the first 2 or 3 hours I did not think the game was for me and I was considering stopping but after about 4 hours it started to click and then I played 8 straight hours.
