I'm sorry if this was asked already; but I couldn't find this specific question/concern asked already through searches.

Like many of you, I submitted for the beta a few weeks back. I let the program do it's test of my machine to send the stats back to the devs. Unfortunately, there's a problem with this method. Under the "Available Hard Drive Space" it listed only 3.5 GB free. This is true, because I have a SSD as my OS drive, and it is pretty full. However, the drive I use for all my game software has PLENTY of free space. My issue is that I couldn't find a way to note this during the test.

Now we come to today. The devs recently gave us the min. system specs and 4GB of free space is the requirement. I'm a bit concerned that I've been ommitted from the potential pool of beta player candidates because the automated process incorrectly polled the amount of free space on my machine.

Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? Or better yet, any developers reading this that could update my stats to give me a fighting chance at being in the beta? =D

Same here, SSD as OS drive, TBs of other storage.

I just changed my specs after I pasted it in. It's not as if there's some kind of verification process, its just a handy way of getting specs in a uniform way.

I honestly don't think your specs matter regarding getting into the beta or not, once the profile is 100% complete you've as much chance as anyone else.

The system poller also incorrectly polled my Windows Experience Index because of a slow hard disk.

Nothing to be done about it. You either get in to the beta so you WORK and test the software, or you don't.
