Beta ETA

from Sins Forums
Hi all

first post here, got wind of the game just a few days ago and have been very impressed with the info thats available so much so that ive pre-ordered the game, and downloaded the stardock file manager, ok straight forward enough, im a bit concerned about the actual release date,

at first reports from the forum and the web suggested a release date of this month for the beta, now i am seeing next month being mentioned

understanding that it is a game still in development with a full release date of winter 07, I would love to hear some info on how the beta is progressing, (perhaps a sins of a solar empire developer blog???) and how close we are to a public beta release, if theres any developers reading this let us know what you think, especally about the developer blog, it could be a great idea

thanks all

J

i would translate several as at least three weeks or so. i would guess that it will be around the 9th, place your bets!

We play on Dell 24inch widescreens at 1920x1200 so you can be sure it works great on widescreens


Are you planning to support resolutions beyond 1920x1200? 2560*1600 for those lucky bastards who own a 30" screen or people who are using multiple monitors?

people own 30" screens? and i thought my my 24" was huge. 2048×1536 (go 4:3!) is my max, not that I can actually read anything at that resolution. 1600*1200 is fine by me

My bet goes out to 17th febuari, for being a monday. Still, having a set release date will get more people pre-ordering. To the casual observer Sins still has a high vaporware feeling.

No reason why it shouldn't work now, assuming your display and video card can handle it.

BDUalcari - We'll announce an official date when we're closer to it. We're not going to release the beta before it's ready to try and meet some artificial timeline.

A firm date won't be announced for several more weeks.



will the date for beta release be shortly after that or will it be another few weeks after that.
