Unless the alpha version is in a state that its too buggy for beta release which means you wouldn't want the beta anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume SI would like to get the beta out as soon as they can with a reliable build as that means more data for them to collect and fine tune things for the full release on the 19th. So with that being said, fancy releasing said beta today guys? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the alpha version is in a state that its too buggy for beta release which means you wouldn't want the beta anyway. It came out on a Thursday last year so all the legends that pre ordered had all weekend to play. I'd say today is the ideal day to release, Friday to report any initial bugs, weekend to stress test / play both days, Monday onwards to report bugs and for the devs to take a look, can't see anyone being at work over the weekend to look at bugs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pats Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I've spent hours browsing steam store for last 2 days since there's no FM 2020 beta in sight.
