The Division 2 Private Beta is now underway for preorder customers, and
others interested in checking out the online action/RPG sequel can apply
on the
official website. A
post from Ubisoft lists known issues with the beta (thanks
Eurogamer). This includes a warning that the client may crash after "an
extended gameplay session," and they recommend rebooting every two or three
hours, so this sounds like a memory leak. There's also a warning that game
invites can also cause crashes. Here's word:
During the Private Beta, we
will be fully testing Tom Clancy's The Division 2 together with you and we
cannot wait to hear what you think about it. To ensure the smoothest game
experience, we will be publishing a list of Known Issues on the forums that we
are aware of and working on fixing. There are two important ones that we want to
raise before the Beta itself starts. These are high priority issues for us that
will be fixed, but are present in the Beta.
We are aware of an issue where your game client will crash after an extended
gameplay session. To circumvent this, we recommend that you restart your game
client every two to three hours.
Secondly, on all platforms, if you are outside the game and receive a game
invite from a friend within the game, your client will crash at launch. To work
around this problem, make sure to start the game first and join group directly
from inside the game.
We hope ( and we will do our best to make sure) you will have a great time in
the Private Beta of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and we're looking forward to
playing with you all in Washington, D.C. this weekend!
