The Division. Are we interested?

Any idea if we can keep the open beta client and just patch up for release?

Good question, I doubt it from past experience as both betas seem to have been entered into the uplay library under the same game they can patch but the full game will likely be listed entirely separately and the beta will show as an expired game.

This seems to have been the case with previous betas from uplay and origin.

Preloading at 7.6mbs. My OH has a "girl's" weekended planed so I'll have all the time I want to play and watch football.

You can use the previous client files and there's a 1.6GB update rather than the full client. Not sure how the full game is going to work though.

I'd imagine that the full game will be a fresh download. It's probably wise to fresh install it, tbh.

Aye the beta and release are usually listed differently...the beta will expire and you'll need to dl the release version.

That confirms what I thought that some loot is first come first served.

Brocky36 · 17 Feb 2016 at 02:50

I figured that loot dropped by players was public, but didn't realise that last part about your rogue status determining how much you drop. That's good to know. Cheers.

Wait so you can download it on steam? It doesn't just sideload uplay?

I think the word "YET" should be in bold and highlighted

Steam downloads the update, the game still launches uplay when you start it though.

Managed to download my update through Uplay this morning. Unfortunately I have **** to do over the weekend, other than that, I'm free for some banter on Friday night.

Used to have no end of issues with uplay but so far on the division beta and with r6, it's not bad.

Basic, no clear way to add to friends list without alt tabbing, no recently played with... But it hasn't crashed endlessly like it used to.

Good that you can change your name in it now after they assigned me the name if shop11ddgjnffjng10k.... Nice and memorable

So I get an email from Ubisoft to pre-load the new The Divisionbeta, Uplay updates and now doesn't exist anymore. Check the system program files as well. Uplay deleted itself after it got 5MB update...

Working as intended.

I had to reinstall Uplay, and it's downloading now. This is terrible though, as this and the Black Desert beta overlap for me

xGBHxPegasus · 17 Feb 2016 at 11:52

Beta is downloaded and ready to play for me. Got my other mates to preload it so they can have a go of it before committing to purchase.

I'm assuming the max size for grouping is 4?

Correct.

Muska · 17 Feb 2016 at 11:56

Correct, 4 in a group as a max.
