Yep, saw it on the map, didn't look too big though.
Phew, thank you. And they hid the option pretty well, the UI is a bit of a mess anyway.

I stationed in Dallas at night before I logged out the last time I played. It's a medium sized city. Has Dallas been featured in any game as an open city before? There are 4 major cities, NY, LA, Chicago and Miami, 2 big cities, Las Vegas and Detroit, and a bunch of medium sized towns. LA is huge and a very good example is Miami - it's bigger than Vice City by a good margin. I think considering everything you'll like the size.
Edit: below medium size there's small towns like Salt Lake, and then finally tiny villages. That should give you some understanding about Dallas' context in the world.

Can't believe I just got a code.
Got it from the stream Bloodworth is doing
http://www.twitch.tv/gametrailers
But damn, Uplay is bringing my internet to a crawl. It went down for like 5 minutes as it using all available bandwidth. I try to cap it in the program itself as my internet went back up, and it is still using all of it.

I had to limit it to half of my maximum speed to stop that from happening, pretty annoying but eh :/

Yup, brought the slider down even more and it's all good now. Can't wait to try this game out.

the txaa doesnt seem to be working properly, i think the temporal filter is broken. is this a design choice or a bug? hopefully its a bug and will be fixed. this game has a lot of shimmering.

hmm, ever since my first game crash I can't get passed the intro. I click "Continue" and the screen just stays black.
The crash happened as I opened up the map.
EDIT:
I guess it's a common issue

Gonna let the rest of the files be downloaded. about 82 percent done. It might be a corrupted save file too as I was in the first mission and that's where the game crashed.

That's probably what you need for a locked 60.

Frday July 25th. Good luck!
What? Why would they conduct such a short beta?
Don't know what it is with this beta, but after the controller issues, tried to play it again last night and it downloaded an update. Great, I thought, this might fix the controller. Nope, it made the beta worse. It doesn't display any graphics now - just a black screen with the audio playing in the background. It reacts to inputs, but I can't see what's going on so it's pointless.
Tried other games after this and they work fine, so it's not my PC. This needs some work before it's ready for release.

Im playing with the 360 pad, had about 30mins play time until the nVidia driver crashed.
In a nutshell: (Yes i know its beta)
Graphics are crap but im not sure why. If you stop, the surroundings have decent texture detail (buildings), but cant put my finger on why overall it looks muddy and unimpressive. Road and pavement textures are shoddy.
Sound is awful - Cars and Sound tracks (Watch_Dogs?) There is 0 dynamic range and no LFE.
Car models are so basic, you can barely see their emblem.
Cockpit is nice - Grid level of detail, maybe a bit more. You have look back from cockpit like GT5 style where you see the rear seats.
Wheel option is there, havent tested yet.
This game so far feels like Need For Speed Rivals but really bad graphics.
Also in my time, i had no interaction with other players, just ramming the occasional player to see if they are alive.
You can skip the slowmo crash replay (thank god). I have no idea how it syncs with other people however, possibly they just see you car stopped at this point.
I play on a 720p Plasma, GTX 780, everything max settings and hold consistant 30fps without the card going over 800Mhz (1100Mhz is my overclock). VRAM usage was around 1500MB last i looked. I used 4xTXAA.

I have a spare code as I am away on holiday for the duration of the beta. Goes to the person who PMs me the cutest animal gif.

Verify the files (click on the arrow next to the play button). Uplay downloads almost always have issues with corrupted files.

Figured a bunch of codes would be coming out this morning. Maybe they did, or maybe they are.
davidsaurus - Have you given up your code yet? I sent you a gif. Hope you like cats.

Sorry. Code is gone now to MaLDo. Have fun those that get in. Look forward to hearing your opinions.

I don't think so, these are the advertised beta requirements and not the final game requirements. In the beta the FPS is locked to 30fps unless you edit a file to change it, it wouldn't make sense to state specs required for ini edited settings (remember, those are also stated for medium/high settings).
I'm not to bothered about it to much as it nice that my specs are lower than the recommended, and yet i can get a lot better than what it states i should get, its just quite a bit of an overestimate

Did Ubi released system requirements yet? I got the code, but I'm not sure it will work fine on my aged Radeon 6870.
edit - I will be fine

As i stated above, when it comes to the recommended they are a bit over the top for the GPU (at least for the beta), you don't actually require a GTX580 level card for medium to high settings at 1080p, a GTX580 level card should easily get full ultra settings at 1080p (my GTX480 can do this).

If you win you will receive a PM. If you don't win because someone else did, or already has won then you will receive no message.
Hoping I can get a code at some point today, will join the begging

It simply means only the winner gets a PM from modbot with the key (and that it can take a minute or 2), so if you enter a giveaway and a PM from modbot never shows up - you didn't win.
