Distant Worlds 2 Beta Recruitment Now Closed

Post by Erik Rutins »

Hi everyone,

A quick disclaimer first: We expect that only a fraction of the folks who sign up will get in. I'm sorry about that, but the interest is high enough that it looks like it will be necessary. We'll be adding testers in waves, based on our ability to process and handle the feedback.

The sign-up link is below, thank you all for your interest, please only sign-up if you really will be able to help with testing so that we can make sure our slots are used for folks who have time to contribute:

----- Beta Recruitment is now closed, thank you for your applications! -----

There is a strange sign in window that pops up when going to the beta link... it seems to be related to the page being only http (not s), and the registration seems to work if you just ignore that initial window pop up.

Needs confirmation from Erik and/or someone at Matrix or Slitherine.

Ranbir, I had this problem, but I just pressed 'cancel' and it still let me proceed (I think). So just press cancel, and see if that helps.

Why am I helping the competition! :-)

Because you are a good fella, and beta testing is all about cooperation, isn't it? [;)]
