Just signed up for the starcraft 2 beta opt-in. I had to send them my pc specs though. Does anyone think that having the Windows 7 RC rather than a full release OS will lessen my chances?... Not sure :huh:

Probably not, I mean they are going to want to test it on win7 as well. But thanks for reminding me about the opt-in, now I will sign up too. Which will slightly lessen your chances. teeheee! ;)

To be truthful I think they would be crazy not to test Windows 7 with it.
Once Microsoft releases the OS to the public it will be everywhere and if they want to sell it they will try to have the major bugs squashed before it gets out there.
Hey its software its going to have bugs, if you can name one piece of software that did not have a bug or error in it then a god wrote that code.

Here you go: Welcome to Battle.net. You have to sign up for an account then look for the link on your account page to opt-in for the beta.

You have to register at least one valid cd-key for a blizzard game on your account to be eligible.

Good Luck ;)

Yeah you go to their battle.net site and sign up for an account (free). You then put in one of your cd keys from a blizzard game you own. I don't think it has to be Starcraft just any game. There will then be a link available to opt in, where you donwload a little program to test your system specs.

edit: oops, dannet got there before me. :p

cool, thanks. I can't get into the site from work so I'll do it later tonight at home. Thanks. Is just a standard email and name form? Or will I HAVE to send in my comp specs?

Once you have a battle.net account with a Blizzard game associated to it, you can go to the beta opt-in page. On that page it will make you download a program that checks your system specs and reports them back to battle.net to be associated with your profile.

I think it depends where you're from. They haven't anounced when beta testing will start yet but when it does it will unfold in phases with North America, Australia and New Zealand being included first.

I think Europe is included in the next phase but I can't remember where I heard that. So if you're from the EU you might have longer but I think you've probably got a bit of time either way.

If there's anything else you want to know take a look at the official FAQ: StarCraft II .

....Here's a better question. Now that I've got the 7127 build which isn't a general release build will that hinder or increase my chances (less competition ha ha) :geek:

How did you even get this to work? I'm on RC x64 and I cannot get my system info to send to them. I keep getting a "There was a problem sending your system information to Battle.net" error and it kicks me into their FAQ.

I've tried running as admin, turning off WinFirewall, running in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode etc., nothing is working.

I contacted Blizz support and they're like "Win 7 is still in beta - we don't support it or issues involved with it"....kthx
