Mac. Not MAC. It's an abbreviation for Macintosh, not an acronym for "Maintenance Administration Center" or something. And I am told beta-testing is a lot less fun than it seems to people who have never done it.

will there be a need for "pc" beta testers when major kinks are taken out of the Mac version and it is converted to be used in windows? Posts: 462 | Registered: Tuesday, June 21 2005 07:00 |

When it says chip type, does it mean CPU, or something entirely different? And if it is something different, what is it? -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

As always, the Windows beta test will happen a few months after the Mac one. When it says chip type, I'm assuming it means, for example, G5 or Pentium IV or whatever. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I should apply. But then I've been turned down the last 3 times. Any way I bet it does take away from the game a bit. -------------------- I stop rubber at 160km/h, five times a week. CANUCKS RESPEK! My Style The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

Lamentably, despite having been a beta tester for a few projects on other games, I'm a mere stinkin' Windows-user. Oh well... maybe when the Windows tests come out, though they're without a doubt, going to be oversubscribed by a long stretch... -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

quote:Probably none, but its the same with me :P Just submit the form, and we'll see what happens :) I also just tried. I know I will be turned down, but some time has to be the first time, no? By the way, are you using Mac? if so, all system and machine specs, can be found in a program called something like "Apple systemprofiler". if you look there, you'll see all the system and machine specs you wish. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

I just wonder why it takes months to port the game for the PC. Anyway, it looks like PC users won't have a christmas present, unlike Mac users... -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

It takes months because of the small but critical differences between Macs and PCs that result in nothing at all working when software isn't painstakingly ported. Or you can compile the file blindly and retitle it "Waste of several megs," your choice. —Alorael, who suspects your chance of testing without knowing your system specs is small. If something goes disastrously wrong for you and only you, Jeff then has no idea what could be the cause. You really should be able to figure your specs out somehow. You did buy your computer or its components, right? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

No, Alorael, I nicked it from a blind monkey :rolleyes: . Of course I bought it, I've just had it for over five years, so I don't remember the specs. -------------------- Ignorwhat? Posts: 301 | Registered: Thursday, October 2 2003 07:00 |

Here is one of the relatively rare moments when we tenacious minority Mac minions get to enjoy something prior to the Windoze world. Don't begrudge us this. To this day I am still grievously disappointed that the Civilization III add-on levels and Multiplayer followup was never even ported to Mac...to name but one possible example where we suffer. Hey, someone who's been a Mac beta-tester before...how long does it take to hear back from Mariann whether or not you've been selected to test? Are we talking a couple days here...a couple weeks...or what? Aha, and I see Mariann is member #1 here. Who is member #2?

Well, yeah...why be number two when you can be number one after all? :) I see Drake mentioned elsewhere that we can probably expect replies if we are accepted to beta-test about one week after they close submittals for testing. So, the question now is, when do they stop taking applicants? -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

I didn't realize intoxication was a prerequisite for participation in the Spiderweb boards. Come to think of it, that DOES explain a number of posts I've seen around here however. -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

I only wish that I had the time to be a beta-tester. Unfortunately, my professors are bent on keeping me busy every waking minute. Curses! -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |
