    I'm also waiting for the beta invite, but tbh I'm not looking forward to beta testing a game. I've done it for 10 years (paid), been there, done that.

    If I get the invite I'll go for it, otherwise I'll wait and buy it a few months after launch, when some patches have worked out some inevitable bugs.

    Fact: Beta testing is a pain in the a@# for suckers.

    From what I've heard........... Works surprisingly well. You should be very happy with the performance.

    YES! This game is awesome! Play's perfectly on the m14x! Im playing the beta now (of course haha). Currently as a bounty hunter. I've already played the prologue as jedi warrior and sith.

    What are your gfx settings, and are you able to give us a FPS count?

    Playing at 900p with all settings on high except light complexity (medium). A new build just came out this week and the textures seem at a higher resolution than last build... game plays smoother as well... FPS always higher than 35. Since its still in beta phase I take back what I said about playing "perfect" since of course there are bugs present, it doesn't effect game play for me though.

    Awesome, I had been searching everywhere to find someone that has tried to play the beta. Glad to hear the game runs soomthly and can run at mostly high graphic settings!

    Weekend Beta Invites have been sent out! Check your emails to see if you have gotten one. I have but my internet connection is to slow to dl the game.
    Also I heard places like IGN were sending out more beta codes.

    I received the invite, but when I log on it says the page doesn't exist. :(

    EDIT: Got through.
    20Gb+ download... No thanks.
    Will buy the box next month instead.

    Happy testing, you lucky devils.
