Anyone had the chance to check out the Once Human Beta? Looks pretty cool.

I tried to get a key for it, but no luck. Seems to be very popular, but wish I could give you an opinion based on personal experiences

Yea beta is over on the 21st and they are no longer giving out keys. Another beta will come around March/April with no keys required then.

Seems like they had a really good beta. Game need some work, but most people had a blast. I know some streamers who spent like 80 hours playing it had issues with the endgame content. If anyone gets any extra keys in the future beta’s, maybe we could post them here.

I’m in it. Haven’t put in a lot of time but playing off and on. Got turned off by all the survival tutorial stuff (um hello, I’ve been punching trees for years) and ran off to kill stuff. It’s fun but a lot I haven’t seen yet.
This guy has probably seen everything in beta though… 😮

Looks interesting. I’ll keep my eye on it but I can’t play it at the moment. On starting, it instantly pegs my CPU at 100% then crashes after a few minutes.

Yikes! Yeah when I launched first time my fans went NUTS. Soon as I could I turned everything down in graphics settings. Still looks good to me so whatever lol

They had a patch today that fixes some of this for some people. Might want to try again!

_sigh_ That’ll mean having to download it again. I really need to get out of the habit of uninstalling things so quickly 🙄
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll give it a try along with a few other things I’ve been researching that might™ help.
–Edit–
Well, I tried. Got a bit further this time, didn’t lock up till I got into character creation. My PC really doesn’t like this game. Think it’ll need some serious optimisation before my poor old machine will be able to run it. I’m not buying a new machine just for one game though lol

Heh. It’ll have to wait. I’ve just bought a new car and I’ve been spending a lot on things to completely redecorate my house. The bank has already called me to check that I’m still in control of my mental faculties, though that wasn’t exactly how they phrased it…

Is there a way to get into a full server? Or are they full until a character is deleted? The server you guys are on says it’s low pop. I’m a bit confused on that one.
_3 minutes later_ - I tried to get into a “new” server which said it was low pop, just for it to say that the server was full when I tried to enter. Is this a bug?

There’s some uncertainty about how “Full” works exactly. Whether it’s a cap on max amount of registered players on a server, or whether it’s dynamic. We’ll see how it goes.

Read on Steam that the devs are working on the issue that all servers coming up as full.
They also said…
_The server has a maximum number of concurrent users. If a server is currently at FULL status, players may not be able to enter, but after a period of time, its status may change from full to idle, allowing players to join at any time._
_We will continue to open enough servers for players worldwide to play. We recommend that players choose idle servers when entering the game or coordinate with friends to enter the game simultaneously for a better gaming experience._
Trying to find out more about the status change to full to idle…

Well must be lucky I got on the server yall have listed, but was warned that it is fullish (was listed as Mid). I am seeing several common features from past and present games. Some unique ideas, but really see some “Defiance”, “New World”, maybe even “Star Wars Galaxies” vibes. It is F2P, and not expecting to spend money… yet. Might see me running and screaming like a little girl from enemies if your around. Think I used my Seemore\_Puggins name, but honestly took a few tries to get the random vid driver resets settled so I forget what finally made it past intro.
