[BragRaindrop933]

But Jorg and Asobo are not in US. December it is

Anybody know when the beta is out?

[Mihaita]

Yes, good question…will be great to have an update on beta release.

[BattyPlains5374]

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Seeing lots of posts about big fps increases but that will only be the case if you are limited by RAM. I think the vast majority of people are limited by CPU

[SchimmelBonbon0]

Hmmm. You might be right. Can’t say that I for myself have ever had “limited by coherrent GT Draw”
But that’s what was shown in the comparison pic on their live stream.
What does this limitation even mean?

[UnitedArt]

On Xbox we are very, very limited by ram, so personally I can’t wait to see what or if things have improved.

[MrWoof9575]

I wasn’t exactly sure what RAM they were talking about. My first idea was the problems people were having with VRAM memory being clogged up which in turn caused severe stutters and hick-ups.

[SchimmelBonbon0]

Okay, then maybe at least us PC folks should really throttle back on our expectations. I never knew this limitation even existed…

Patch notes sound great. Do you know what approx download size is please ?

On Xbox, I can only choose SU14 beta. Am I too early?
