Anyone want a QUAKE LIVE invite?


Recommended Posts

Ok guys, Quake Live are having a MAJOR stress test tomorrow so if you've signed up, don't be surprised if they're going to email you an invite.

But, if you'd like to remain on the safe side, I have TWO invites to give away.

The site appears to be getting hammered at the moment, but the game has been working smoothly for me.

Since the stress test is tomorrow, I'm planning on sending the invites out within the next few hours, all I need is an email address to send them to. I haven't decided quite HOW I'm going to decide who gets the invite, but there will be a preference for upstanding members of the community, so no 1 post wonders please ;p

EDIT: This has been made the sort of "Official Quake Live invite thread", so if you haven't got one, this is the place to look! Don't go PMing random people, I'm sure if you ask nicely here, people will give you one if they can spare it. All anyone needs is your email and your first and last name.

Invites are sent out ONCE per hour, so if you don't get one right away, fret not! You might have just missed the last batch.

If you DO get an invite from someone here and happen to get invites yourself, please think of your fellow neowinners and give them to those here that request them =)

Ahh...I'm afraid guys, BeLGaRaThis going to get it. Didn't really want to disappoint a lot of people, but he IS a longstanding member of neowin, he's a subscribor and he does live in the same City as me (And thus may be buy me a drink at some point, hint hint =P) and he used to work with a friend of mine (But he doesn't know that, oooohhhhh stalking is fun!).

Pm me your email, BeLGaRaTh!

We can turn this into the offical INVITE thread.

For some reason when he invited my first email, the one I thought I used to sign up to the beta for, it said I already GOT an invite,.. which I never did.

(It'll be disturbing if it arrives tomorrow.)

So I had to give him an email I rarely use...

But if I get any invites I'll be sure to fire them off to friends. :)

I only got my invite yesterday, so there's a good chance you'll get 2 as well =)

I never even got the official email to sign in.. thats what worries me.

I check the email I used to sign up for it every single day.. I never saw it in the spam folder, OR the inbox.

No idea what the hell happened to it.

Maybe it went to Phobos instead of me.

Im in the same boat Andrew-DB :( All I can do is choose the practice game. It plays very well though, I'm very surprised, and the AI seems to scale well to your play.

I forgot to mention before, thanks Kushan for the invite code, Kudos to you for that, much appreciated.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
