Hope we in the EU will get our pre-order content as well in time then. Or can we pre-order NA stuff which in the end will get transferred to the EU server?

The system profiler is not giving a true representation.

I have:
2x nvidia 260GTX in SLI driving a 1920x1200 display
1x ATI Radeon HD 3600 series running 2 displays (A 1280x1024 and a 1024x768)

This is a common setup to allow you to have multi-monitor and SLI - the ATI card is just a cheapo one I picked up 2nd hand to drive my extra displays.

I don't use the extra displays for gaming (ie eyefinity style multi-monitor), it's mostly for work or for voice comms, maps etc for gaming.

I tried disabling the ATI card, but it still wouldn't list the nVidia cards.

It is also not calculating disk space properly - my drive is partitioned into two (C: and D:) and I don't install games to C:
It is only listing the space for the partition (C:) and not the drive.

Also, the "Language" entry is incorrect - I am using English (United Kingdom) not US.

When submitting for beta, I have fudged my results somewhat to give a truer representation of what is relevant.

Here is what it detects:

The clarification about servers is nice. The question is: if i buy a 60$ package will i have a founders mech on EU servers also? Or there will be another chance to get that package for EU servers?

[mastergenera1]

most of what was in my specs listed by the program was right cept for the space available/total and my WEI score.the app rated my computer at 6.8 win7 rates it at 7.9

Set a restore point before you try these.
From an administrator command prompt (right click, run as administrator) run
'Winmgmt /salvagerepository %windir%\System32\wbem' without the quotes.
Reboot and try to run the tool again.
If it's still not working, try
'Winmgmt /resetrepository %windir%\System32\wbem'
If those don't work, you can try 'chkdsk c:' and 'sfc /scannow', but if those don't work I usually end up reinstalling windows entirely. WMI problems on 7/2008R2 are a pain in the butt.

Checking the WMI repository was a good idea. "Unfortunately" my WMI repository is reported as consistent by Windows 7. I reset it anyway to be safe. Likewise chkdsk and sfc are showing no errors.

Yet I still get the error up front when running the system profiler where I have to hit continue:

'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

followed by hanging on the probing WMI step. I guess no beta for me.

I had the same problem. I renamed the data folder and then ran the profiler which returned the right information with the exception that the WEI returned a zero value.

Yeah, that happens with this sort of system detection software. Would be better if they just grabbed all video cards and listed them.

Like you I run multiple monitors with multiple cards. I have a GTX 680 for my main gaming monitor and a 210 for two side monitors. Fortunately mine found the 680 instead of the 210 for the gathering.

Sigh, I will have to wait to get home to run the system profiler, it is a bit ambiguous, I have already typed my specs in but it came up as a blank page so I will try again with the profiler once I'm home
All I have to say is

PICK ME PICK ME........... :)Thank you for all of this, it is wonderful!

My experience was that you had to prefix each entry with an exact catagory that the page recognises, you can't type in "HardDD" for instance if the text it is looking for is HDD.

EU here and asking this myself and still no answer or "clarification" after a 18-pages thread.
Something in this Operation seems to me like the FedCom War of '39 (just irony and thanks to Piranha for a dream becoming true ).

I've solved my problem. Posting it here in case it helps anyone else. The underlying issue was that I hadn't run Windows Experience Index, and that it wouldn't run, which would have the system profiler hang. I tracked the problem down as follows:

1. Run "winsat formal" on the command line.
2. Any part of Windows Experience Index that doesn't work will show up as an error in the output.

In my case, I had less than 10% free space on my system disk, which causes that part of WEI to poop out. I never worried about it, because it's a solid state drive with which it doesn't matter if you cram them full. After deleting some stuff, I would run winsat without errors. Once that was done and my WEI was showing in the control panel (7.2 if anyone cares), the system profiler works fine.

Very much looking forward to an invitation! Thanks in advance!

Now the hard part, which mech to choose if I get into the beta.

This shows up several times about 11 hours ago.

@awesomej1980 Closed Beta is not live yet, but when it is we will make clear how you can join it!

So which is true, that the beta has not yet started or that, as per the OP in this thread, it started 2 days ago?

Can't wait till its a "Go" as missed this gameplay so much since win2k version wasn't picked up or supported in Win XP Pro

For the very same reason i hope the russians will have a separate server. It would be more comfortable for both the russian speaking folks (because it isn't only russian players using these servers) and the EU folks.
