Hi MothershipTest
I tested the game with a non legal beta copy and a pre alpha copy just to see what it was like because of how much hype this game was getting now I've gotten a beta copy as well the same way now I tested them both and its seems that the main problem for your beta, on my side is the start up sequence as well when I double click the icon It just doesn't launch so any ideas ( by the way I will be buying the game beta and full release and I will try to do a lets play as I will be doing a review of the game and what could be said to improve the game in other ways )
p.s. I will be deleting these copies that are illegal
