DAMNIT!! I knew this would happen! I go away for a few days and the betatesting is open for application! I only hope it wasn't first come first serve ;) .

Johan or someone wrote somewhere that all applicants are being looked at together, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. :)

Please lemme be a CTD...

Oh, and for that early stage crash-testing it is possible to write test programs similar to the routine MrT showed us. I did that job for some pretty nasty coders once on a school project. Then I only had to know the input and output ranges of their functions, and wrote test-code generating values in those ranges to point out where things crashed and so on and see all possible output values. You'll need parts of the source code for that kind of work. After that, hands-on testing commenced and we got very few crashes at that stage, but then we made changes to interface and made things better in general.

Well, I was about 15 or 16 when I entered the EU II beta... But you're indeed (as Xie & MrT have said) a bit misinformed about the 'fun' part :)
Hey the Secret IRC channel during the Vic Beta was fun at times :)

As was Early Beta Bug exploiting :D

You can always secretly script and code things at work like some of the betazoids do :p
Never! :) It really ruined things when they blocked port 6667 though :( although at least I can still check the forums and work on Mantis.

Signed up with fingers crossed...

Never been accepted as a beta tester although I've applied dozens of times.

this may be it... I'm a Rabid WW2 history buff. and really think I could contribute.

I've applied as well, but my expertise is in areas which seem to be pretty well wrapped up by the time beta testing usually opens.

Still, I did identify a typo on the glorious HOI2 map, so hopefully that will point up my usefulness. :)

Why don't you try to sign up for the compatibility testing. You know they're looking for the exotic configurations. Unless your pc is well under the minimum specs. Dunno, but HOI2 might run on it despite lower specs.

"Minium Specs" are way overrated!

I played Flashpoint with a 233mhz, 64mb ram and a graphics card of Stone Age...

It ran.... Well.... Can you imagine the worst resolution, with no explosions, smoke or other effects..... That AND laggy as a horse in the glue factory...


But it was fun though... The visibility range was some 50 yards and thus the only real weapon was AK...

Those were the days my friend.... :rofl:

For what it's worth, one of the two sytems I'm currently running the alpha HoI2 builds on is a 500MHz P3 Compaq laptop with 4MB shitty graphics card, 256MB RAM and while it's slow to load the performance isn't too objectionable most of the time. If your system is even a little bit better than that then don't hesitate to apply since there's a probability that it will be useful to betatest on underpowered computers too.

My PII 233mhz 160meg RAM and 8 meg vid card laptop is more underpowered than your machine! So there! ;)

There are a few things I have been meaning to ask you but have not been able to thus far, due to my bad, bad memory:

What if one forgot to add something to the application? Interest in typing AARs for instance? Now if I put in wrong info (Spelled name wrong) it won`t matter as if I get in I can change, and if I don`t it does not matter...

Also what about the letters of denial or acceptation? They all bang in at August the 13th?



Dang, there I go again asking too much questions.... Well call this the "August the Tenth, ONLY THREE MORE DAYS TO HOI2-BETA CLOSURE, syndrome." :D

Johan has said that one of the things he looks for is the ability to fill out the application correctly. :(
