Sakebee 2270 Posted October 21, 2020 Hey everyone, We have our third Open Beta test the weekend of the 24th! This build includes major improvements like the inclusion of all districts and the removal of our previous AVX requirements. It is also the first step towards transitioning the 2.1 client to live. If you would like more details on this week’s test or our thoughts on moving forward with 2.1, please head over to our website: https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2020/10/21/third-open-beta. http://apb.patch.beta.gamersfirst.com/APB_Beta_Installer.exe**Do to some necessary changes that we had to make to which districts are available, creating any new characters will not be possible. Please use your Live accounts and your already existing characters for this Open Beta period.** See you there! Sakebee 19 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellix 415 Posted October 22, 2020 Great Looks like we will finally have a look at mission districts Excited a lot to drive around and see the new visuals. By the looks of it we may be able to play on EU APB as main quite sooner then expected. I hope the road ahead will be smooth 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acornie 490 Posted October 22, 2020 Very glad to see that the schedule panned out in order for this to happen this weekend [I'm really hoping that the work done between now and the last beta will smooth things out performance wise and it will be hunky dory... I know, I know, my expectations are supposed to be tempered, but I can't help it ] I am curious about if it will be open nonstop for these dates of will it be several hours each day. Anyway, thanks LO for your work getting this darn thing on it's way to finally be finished 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Hall 1 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) This should be my first beta, just wondering how the beta will play with RTX cards? I have a RTX 3080 (crazy I know) and just wondering if there are any known issues so far? If not is there anything I should be keeping an out for when testing to report? Also good work everyone for pumping out so much progress on the engine upgrade Edited October 22, 2020 by Dean Hall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly to reduce the work needed to push it out, and prevent potential issues that may arise from patching one beta to a new version without having that part figured out just yet.
