    I've had it up to here with you two loose cannons. Flippy, Raslin, I want your badges and your wangs on my desk first thing tomorrow morning. As of this moment you're no longer detectives in this on-going investigation of the Beta Key Bandits.

    You guys are too close this and I can't risk having you maniacs blowing this thing out proportion with the mayor STILL breathing down my neck over the last wreckless stunt you two pulled...Don't even start with that! I don't care how many lives you saved from that whole baby/puppy orphanage Russian terrorist mafia hostage situation. You were lucky that didn’t turn as bad as it could of and you’re lucky now that I don’t have you goons arrested.

    Now get out of my sight, I want you out MY office, out of MY department, and OUT OF MY GOD DAM STREETS!!!

    I love this post

    No, but from now on we'll all hate you.

    Don't hate! Point and laugh at how fate chose me for excellence, then thought again and returned me to mediocrity

    Well, we'll point and laugh.
    Then we'll hate once support gets back to you.

    Did you people put anything in particular as why you should be in the beta? I just wrote that I think it has an amazing character creator, which I don't really think is the kind of stuff that get's you into betas.

    I put a bunch of stuff in my app about how awesome the concept is, and how many bug reports I would submit. An entire application full of brown nosing...

    So I received an email inviting me to the beta (yay!) but then when I log in to actually download the client I get ...

    "Too many failed attempts to log in have been made from this IP address. This IP address has been temporarily blocked and customer services have been alerted. Please email support@apb.com for assistance. Thank you. "

    Now I DID have to try a few times to create a strong enough password at the initial creation screen but not at the actual log in.

    Excessive swearing to be imagined. Have emailed support so fingers crossed.

    Anyone else in and have anything to report?

    I got the same error. I sent off an email to support, hopefully it's fixed soon. As long as you get the initial client downloaded and patched before Sunday, you wont be missing anything.

    it's not against the NDA but remember they have explicitly asked people in the beta not to reveal they're in the beta

    so maybe shush

    I didn't get an email reply but can now log into the site and download. So for anyone else having similar issues just give it another go.

    Next problem is that the launcher says Win 7 is not supported and what did I install last night? Ah well, fingers crossed.

    On a side note the person who sent me a PM, you have yourself set to not receive PMs so I'm not rude by not replying. Hope that makes sense.

    Oh come on.

    In related news: I can't find anything about APB in my inbox, I've forgotten my password to log-in, I've asked for it to be reset and nothing's come through - but I'm 100% sure I signed up for the beta.

    Aaaaaargh.

    This man, he speaks the truth.

    I'm aware of the whole don't-tell-people-your-in-beta thing, but can anyone tell me if making multiple beta apps (One for me, one for a friend of mine who won't have access to the internet for a while) means that you won't get a invite?

    If you put in the same email address, it updates your old one.

    But there's nothing with IP addresses or anything

    A fellow uploaded some footage from the Beta to dailymotion. His editing may be questionable but I saw a few things I hadn't before.

    Apparently 32bit os' are locked at low settings, but I hear some gent got around that recently.


    He also mentioned that he earned a new fender for his car by handcuffing a guy and running him over ten times, and that kneecapping criminals from an elevated position with a sniper rifle while they try to rob an atm is endlessly amusing.

    Nice to see that cars can be damaged, unlike what was shown in the last trailer.

    For some reason I got in, I don't even recall what I listed as reasons for wanting in. The only Beta experience I have is with a few Battlefield games.

    Lucky me I guess

    Massive thread bump, but I've received a key via email to try this game out. And try out I shall! Though one thing worries me: my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements? It said my processor was too slow (3.46Ghz) and my video driver was bad. That's odd.
