Open Beta? Playtest? anything before game release please.

[Lets Go Brandon]

When is the open beta or playtest scheduled for this game? Very interested in this game but I will not hand over my hard earned funds to a game in this day and age before at least a taste of the game to see if its worth investing into.

then wait till a few weeks after release and look at some gameplay videos. There is no rush.

Resist the fomo brother. I believe you'll find if the ae isn't ♥♥♥♥ you won't miss out by waiting a week or two. Alternatively of course if you're really that concerned suck it up and buy the ge day one?

i actually found out they are doing regular playtests you just have to sign up to get in. access is not through steam. also rex it is pvp its posted on the steam store page and discussed on the videos. It may show mmo but its got base building and survival aspects like ark and rust. plus same devs made the survival game conan. pretty obvious what this game is.

this is the game description lol
Dune: Awakening is an open world survival MMO set on the most dangerous planet in the universe. Survive the desert by learning the ways of the Fremen. Expand your potential through combat, spice, building, and trade. As guild intrigue and warfare rage, control the spice and cling to power.

maybe know anything about the game before your next reply rex. it is survival and it is PVP.

There's a closed beta playtest currently ongoing. I don't know when it started, or when it's going to end, but you can sign up through their website. If you get in, they send you a key for the playtest on Steam.

I'm not sure how many people have gotten in, but it's probably quite a few.

Beware that this game has now (after last patch) turned into AVX2 compliant. in simple terms if you don't have a brand new system, with AVX2 CPU and state of the art GPU, then stick to playing yahoo pool.

I hadn't heard of this before, so looked it up. As far as I understand this, AVX2 has been supported since about 2013 for Intel CPUs and 2015 for AMD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX2

Not sure about GPU's, though, but I understand this game will use Unreal Engine 5? So probably can't use a very old GPU anyway.

But someone please correct me if I'm wrong. As mentioned, this is all new to me

[DenzelWashingMachine]

followed this since it was first mentioned and still waiting for my beta key.. sad times man.. sad times..

[PERFECT DARKSIM]

Yeah. Signed up with multiple emails just incase. Still not invited. Think they'll release beta keys in waves starting December up until we get towards release.

[Lets Go Brandon]

yeah still waiting as well but with my luck i wont get in. seems like every time i request to get in to a playtest i never get in but a buddy i recommend the game to puts a request in a month after me and gets in. because that makes sense lol

AVX2 isn't the real problem,its DX12SM6 that,for example,locks out people with certain valve-hardware as their main-system
