alright who wants beta

I got the 2 to give away
 
If anyone else has a beta invite to send me that's be awesome.

Also if anyone wants a Dota 2 invite, I have one in my inventory. I'm pretty sure everyone already has that though.
 
Question about CS GO

I have the beta in my library, when I go to purchase the full game I get a note saying I already own the game. Anyone else run into this?
 
had my first GFWL experience with GTAIV.....and fuck GWFL.

Can't save without logging into GWFL, which can't connect to it's server. so i can't save my game at all? super awesome

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Same here. Has it been confirmed that beta participants won't be getting it for free?

If that were going to happen, early beta participants would have received the game when it became available to pre-order.
 
The latest changelog for the Steam client beta:

There's a new Steam Beta client available. To access the Beta, go to File -> Settings. On the Account tab press the Change... button to open the Beta Participation dialog. Then Select "Steam Beta Update", and allow Steam to restart itself. Here are the specific changes:

How do I get this layout?



Also, I have a low end laptop: AMD Dualcore P320 2.1ghz, ATI Radeon Mobility 4250, 3gb Ram. Could I run Alan Wake reasonably well? For $10, seems like a really good deal, especially with all the praise GAF gives it. It's cheaper now than in the sale correct?

You need to get beta access to get the layout.

And no you will not be able to run it reasonably well.

I get 30 FPS with my 5670 1gb. You won't be able to run it well.

These are awesome news. :D I was literally just thinking tonight that I should try that Windows 7 hotfix, but maybe I'll hold off a month or so and see if the client improves on its own.

I'd love if someone gifts me the coupon for Portal 2, I'm still kicking myself for holding out on buying it during the sales waiting for something else and then missing it entirely. ):

What is the rest of your specs? I have that same card and I'm kinda curious about how well it would run. I'd be fine with at least stable 30FPS.
