Default Beta signups open to non-subscribers!

Wow; this is either a glitch or a typo. Navigate to Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars on FilePlanet and click "Join the Beta". Enter your info and enter the CAPTCHA, then receive your key and download the open beta client. I'm not a subscriber, and I got a key, which is weird because there are "Subscribers only!" notices all over the page. I didn't even sign in to fileplanet...

Get 'em while they're hot, folks! If you miss your chance today, the last chance is tomorrow.

Bleh, I'm on vent with about five guys having the same problem as me. The closed beta client works fine for everyone, but when I tried to type in my key in the open beta client, I got a "Canceled" message. It then prompted me to login, and I got "Unknown error"...

Works for me now.

Time to upgrade my 6800XT to that 7950GT I should've gotten in the first place...

Turn your AF down. Even the "low" settings has AF and other silly features turned on. Running full quality here at 1280x1024 60fps constant.

ctrl+alt+~ for console
com_showfps 1
com_unlockfps 1
com_unlock_maxfps 60 or higher.

Secret hax download link.

I went beyond that by a longshot:

exec minspec.cfg
com_unlockfps 1
com_unlock_maxfps 1000
com_unlock_timingmethod 0
r_displayRefresh 60
pm_crouchbob 0
pm_bobroll 0
pm_bobpitch 0
pm_bobup 0
pm_runroll 0
pm_runpitch 0
pm_runbob 0
pm_walkbob 0
net_clientprediction 0
net_clientmaxrate 25000
net_clientmaxprediction 250
r_visdistmult 1
r_skipstuff 1

Still average about 3 FPS. (Not even kidding...) View my ongoing quest to get a new PC here: http://forums.fevergaming.com/feverg...ml#post1818616

I'm running a 6800XT clocked at 468/1250. Only 8PP and 4 shaders, though. I also have two gigs of OCz Gold DDR400, and an Intel P4 3.4GHz HT Prescott. It's either reformat time for me, or I need a new rig. I might go with the latter, just because it'll mean higher framerates with higher quality.

Wish list details
