SEV Betatest...

Of course, any of use AMD athlon 64 users who use windows are only running it in 32 mode. But then Microsoft will release XP 64 bit edition.

If anyone of us 64 bit CPU people get in the beta, maybe we should try to get XP 64 bit to test the game with.

So what you are saying is that this copy of Windows XP64 is really 32 bit? amd64 bit windows has been beta for over a year now.

Just sent my application!

Aaron should consider inviting several linux junkies to beta, so they could do some testing under wine or cedega. I definitely would like to see se5 running on my debian.

I was over at the Strategy First website and saw no indication that SE5 is on the "announced games" list - has there been a press release?

It is a "no-brainer" that one of the key things in any beta is constant 2-way communication between the dev team and the testers to exchange ideas, file interpretation theories, save games, updates and report bugs of course. Nowadays, this is accomplished quite easily via dedicated forums (like the ones here at Shrapnel). During the SE4 Gold beta, Shrapnel did a 10/10 job in hosting chats, MP test times and keeping those lines of communication open. Has anyone had experience on Strategy First beta's? Do they have dedicated forums for beta testing? How involved in the testing are they?

Just Curious

I hope I get into beta...

So the people who will be selected will be informed on:

Have you made it into the SEV beta then?

And It's nice that you have XP 64 bit, because I sure as hell don't see it available anywhere for me to buy it.

With all of the code slinging ability around here, I thought it would have been an online form. Collect the info into a data base and go from there.

t? What the heck is that?
