Anyone playing later on the XBO around 9pm GMT, that wouldn't mind me joining in with some Dark Zone, so I can get some idea how to play it?

And here I am wondering if I'll get to play tonight rofl. Although now I'm really worried about trying to play at 3440x1440.

The fact that it has matchmaking means it's already better than Destiny in my books.

I like playing these games solo but there are things that require parties which I never bothered with while playing Destiny simply because it's so freaking hard to get a group of people together. This issue is instantly resolved with matchmaking.

Thank you Ubi.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Call me blind, but I don't see the CA? Isn't it supposed to be like a rainbow effect around edges? Am I crazy?
It doesn't really matter because you can turn it off on both the PC and Console version if anyone doesn't like it.

i7 2600k getting wildly different usage % here. Could be at like 30~50% and then it spikes to 80-90 out of no where. I mean it runs at 60fps no problem but I can't stream or anything with this crazy cpu jumping everywhere.
 
i5 6600K @ 4.4GHz
16GB RAM
980Ti
Settings: 1080p, max settings with PCSS Off and HBAO+ On

Brutal performance. You seem to be heavily CPU limited. This may be a game that favours HT and as many threads as possible. 100% per core is wicked-awesome.

Anybody with an i5 2500k and 980ti? What settings you guys using? I have maxed out at the moment but fluctuating between 50-60fps

Would like a steady 60 at least.

Oh and I am at 1440p

You are CRAZY!!!!

J/k. Look around the tress to the left and around the bush where the "Camp hudson exit" sign is, it's most obvious there. Going to be the first thing I disable.

Ah thanks, I started to zoom in on my browser and it became more apparent. I assume that causes that god awful vaseline blur?

Had to zoom 500% to see it lol...

Now that I see it, I'm thankful we can.
 
Just got to work...played this game for about 3 hours last night and I'm hooked. The loot addiction is real. Hope the content in the final game is up to snuff though.

The wait between the Beta and release is gonna be tough, but I have no other games on my list this spring so it's a great release time for me.

You can easily see the CA on the snow lower left side.
Brutal CA to look at.
Gives me headache.

Looking how good it looks and performs on XboxOne, for sure its engine is heavily geared to maximize every CPU core available.

It runs okay.

i7 4790k, R9 290.

About 40fps really, and thats on medium. Not particularly well optimized, the game looks good but not that good.

I'm also getting some very weird flickering that goes horizontally across my screen whenever I'm in something UI related, like the map or the main menu. Long black or glitched bars flash across sections of the screen.

So apparently I can only get my mouse buttons to work if the game is in Windowed Borderless but according to the known issues that fucks up fps, nice.

Signed up on the Ubisoft site with the beta code that Amazon gave me, but they still haven't sent a code through to my email. Anyone else not had one through? Annoying!

That intro was extremely pretty... I was quite wow'd by it, visually. Once I was on the ground things felt a bit more plain looking, but overall I must say that the game is extremely pretty and I wasn't expecting that.

The first thing I had to do was find an option to deal with that floating HUD next to you... thank god there is an Auto-Hide option!

BUG?: And was anyone else on PS4 unable to switch back to your handgun once you switched to a SMG? Tapping triangle or holding it did the same thing... just switching between my two primaries. I didn't follow the mission markets and just headed out into the combat zone.

First NPC I saw in the combat zone asked me for help... I gave him a medkit and he gave me a new jacket. I like this game.

Yes, to me. Still don't have my ps4 code.

I have to play it on the Xbox instead where my buds aren't ;_;

Looks much better with CA off (PS4)
Overall pretty looking game despite some trouble streaming high def textures here and there.

I cannot believe that Steam can be this late unlocking. This has to be Ubisoft delaying it because they know the possible wave of Steam users may crash/hinder the servers, so they are letting it settle.

From Natchai_Ubisoft :
We've noticed on the forums that some Steam players are unable to access the beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division. We are actively reaching out to Steam to resolve the issue and will keep you updated as we know more. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
So at least they are aware that this is happening.

This game has a great settings menu but they don't really seem to effect performance at all. Constant 30-50fps no matter what settings are changed.
 
I played the beta in two big sessions yesterday and going to leave it at that, since nothing carries over there's no real need for me to go and hunt down pueples and high end blues, I enjoyed some of the missions around the map like entering an old block of flats and searching around for the virus data machines within a time limit, or running around rooftops treating them like a puzzle to reach a rare loot container.

Looking forward to the final game now.

No, they would fix the influx of players with queue. This is Steam not having a set release or the release is delayed.

Its probably set to 5PM GMT release schedule. I think thats the common steam release time.

Again, what im saying is Steam dun fucked up

As I walked into the combat zone I'm reminded that I'm in a city... and all of the areas will be look very "samey"... I will never remember my way around by visual queues, and need to rely completely on my map to find my way...

How has it been for others here who have played a few more hours of it?

How many of these large zones are there supposed to be in the game? I'm getting Destiny flash backs... will we have access to 1/4-1/3 of the full game during beta again?

I'm getting stuck on some MIKE error on PC and I have no clue what else to do, opened up ports, tried DMZ my PC. Nothing.

Works perfectly using XBOX One
