I am thinking of increasing the number of testers for "KOF XIII Steam Edition" Closed Beta Test by 50 players.

The winners of this new lottery will be carefully selected among the candidates who have previously registered themselves during the first beta tester campaign, and will be notified by email and in the KOF XIII Closed Beta Test relevant forum later in the week.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
日本語で申し訳ないが、既に50ユーザーへのKeyの配布を完了した。
KeyはVALVEから配布されたものを送信しているため、多くのユーザーに渡すことが出来ない。
通知メールは私自身が当選者に一通ずつ手動で送っている。
KOFファンの皆さんには理解していただきたい。

また、クローズドベータのテスターの皆さん、自分のネットワーク環境（DETAL）が”悪い状態”で遅いといっているのか、”環境が良く”て遅いといっているのか、回線の遅さの影響は必ずあるので、正しくフィードバックしていただけると非常にありがたい。
皆のおかげで少しずつ良くなっていると思う。

Thanks for your cooperation!
And,Thanks To All Users!

The language support during "KOF XIII Steam Edition" Closed Beta Tes is not limited only to English!!

Please feel free to post your comments and feeback of the game and your online experience even in your native language!!

We are incredibly happy at the reception and excitement at which KOFXIII S.E. has been received! Thank you for all of your comments, across these forums and across the web!

Firstly, allow us to explain a few things:

- KOFXIII S.E will be a fusion of KOFXIII CLIMAX and the Xbox360 version of KOFXIII. The gameplay of KOFXIII S.E. is based on KOFXIII CLIMAX. The UI, menus, and configs are based on the Xbox 360 version of KOFXIII
- Since there may be lower performing PCs out there, we have introduced a "Static" and "Dynamic" background system available in the Graphics Options menu. If you are receiving low FPS, consider trying out the "Static" background mode.
- There are also 2 Frame Rate modes available: "Fixed" and "Variable". In the interests of better online experiences, Online play will be fixed to the "Fixed" Frame Rate mode.
- The closed beta will only feature Online play. We understand the importance of excellent netcode and so we wish to utilize this beta test as a means of collecting feedback on our new netcode. We will then use this feedback to further improve the netcode where possible.

We have worked really hard on the netcode. We have run tests between the USA, UK and Japan, all with excellent results. But we know that through your testing and feedback, we may be able squeeze out some extra performance.

We look forward to working with you all in order to make KOFXIII S.E. an excellent gaming experience. September 13th will be an excellent day for us all!
