Getting the MIKE/DELTA network errors on PC, can't get in. Guess I'll try again later, wish it'd at least let me make character or edit settings or something.

First DZ. No one tried to kill me.

Has anyone found anything besides gear in the subway and sewers, well except that one mission?

I'm wondering if it will be empty on release. Found a M249 down there and it kicks ass, but I'd think someplace like that would have people living in it, or gangs using it.. maybe some turtles.

Is there really no way to disable the DS4 speaker? Also, you should be able start at the beginning once you reach the end of the menus/tabs/options/items when scrolling.

*Please note the guaranteed access to the beta depends on the availability in each territories.



Also The Division is the current top seller on steam.

Hitting that #1 spot after being top 3 for weeks

PC EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
Massive Entertainment and Red Storm Entertainment have their roots in PC development. Both studios worked hard to craft a first-rate PC experience. The Division on PC is not a port, but a full-fledged, optimized version taking advantage of everything this platform has to offer:

PLAY IT YOUR WAY…

• Flexible user interface: move, scale and adjust the opacity of the HUD.

• Intuitive controls: navigate easily through the interface, inventory panels and map designed specifically to be used with a mouse or a controller.

• Full mouse & keyboard support: opt for the high precision mouse and keyboard experience and switch to a controller in the middle of any encounter without interruption.

• Text chat: team up with more agents of The Division by using the in-game text chat.

…FROM LAPTOP TO TRIPLE-SCREEN MONSTER COMPUTER.

• Optimized graphic settings & customised GPU effects: adjust a vast variety of technology treats, from realistic lightning, shading, snow particles, local reflection, fog volumetric scattering, depth of field and much more…

• Multi-GPU support: unleash the graphic power of the best computer set ups for jaw-dropping graphics powered by Massive Entertainment’s game engine Snowdrop.

• Multi-screen support: play with up to 3 screens for the most immersive and stunning experience of The Division.

• Multi-resolutions: opt for 1080p or 4k and automatically adapt the resolution to fit multi-screen configurations with FOV correction.

• Unlocked framerate: let the most powerful computer reach the highest framerate.

• HBA0+: enjoy the most realistic shadowing, lightning algorithm and ambient occlusion.

I guess some of this is not working ATM. mGPU don't seem to be a thing yet. Runs beautiful without so will be beast with!

For some reason I find it strange they have Seagulls, Pigeons, Crows, Rats, and Dogs.. but no cats? I don't like cats personally, but I'd think they'd be common as well.

Honestly, this game felt more like a demo than a beta. But I will say, the combat, movement and how some of the mission structure works is very fun.

Really? This is one of the most surprisingly stable and optimized games for the PC right now. Don't think I was below 60fps at any point during my 5ish hours of play. What are your specs?
Click to expand...

Optimized? What?

I have SLI 980's and a 4790k @ 4.7ghz and maxed out with lots of settings on high, I rarely go above 65 fps.. lol.

Yeah I've been watching PC gameplay (been playing on PS4 though), definitely if one is to pick it up, it would have to be for PC (if the community is large enough).
Click to expand...

This is what I'm most worried about. I have both PS4 and a PC and I'm playing the PC Beta. The game is amazing but I'm worried the PC community might be too small. I'm hoping those wishing for Destiny on PC are waiting for this game.

Just put two hours in. Love what I have played so far, and I am so glad that there appears to be matchmaking for everything. Also, extractions in the dark zone can turn to shit so fast. Holy crap.

SLI dont seem to be working yet and its more CPU heavy as it utilizing all the cores like it needs to on console.

It runs pretty well on my rig but SLI working would defo give it a nice boost.

I highly doubt a 4790k is going to be a bottleneck.

Recommended specs even state 4 core.

I'd like to see a comparison though of six core vs 4 core performance.

Same here. If the community stays consistent (like it has been for Rainbow 6: Siege) then I would totally buy it for PC, but if it dwindles to no end, then I might not even pick it up (not all that impressed or sold with the PS4 version).

This looks good on PS4 in my opinion

I was more suggesting that the game is not fully optimized yet considering it will have mGPU support and its not in yet. That and CPU cores working like a boss.

Its not badly optimized but there is still a lot they could do.

That's exactly what being unoptimized is =/

Regardless, will reserve judgement until final release and SLI is implemented.

If the performance is good, I will be buying this game for sure.

So, do the side missions you get from the boards refresh? I assumed they were like radiant quests, but after playing the beta for five hours my map is empty and I'm wandering aimlessly.

Digging the atmosphere, though.

If it was running 40fps id call it unoptimized, however lowest ive seen it drop was to 58ish for a sec max during snowstorm battle. Its usually been around 63-75 on my end maxed out.

This game is really fun with people in co-op.
Friend just pre-ordered it for day 1 and we'll both take 2-3 days off around the release date to play this.

Definitely a fantastic "play with friends and just have fun" game

the amount of exploration we have done so far has been crazy.

Which platform?
Click to expand...

PS4...Depending on how I like this beta, I might add this to my must buy list. If not, i'll wait until my buddies tell me if they like it or not. Amazon cancel preorder makes this real easy. I'm afraid if they can't get that crap together on a BETA, I can't imagine when the actual game comes out. No excuse for an open beta such as this to have a full server load excuse.

You must have a monster rig then. No way in heck you're getting that FPS with anything similar to my setup maxed out! lol

Edit: Should also mention 1440p.

Enemy movement is a bit clunky,hope they smooth it a bit with release.Also why no crouch damn it ,quite frustrating always to use their "X"- covering system.

Super fun with at least 1 other person. PvE missions on hard is really fun. Dark Zone is really fun and have a high skill ceiling when it comes to tactics and such.

Lots to do in the beta, and this is just a small portion of the actual game.

Game is beast on PC. The snowstorms in the Dark Zone is amazing af.
