3. Download the Dark Souls III Network Stress Test version

After entering the product code in Step 2, follow the onscreen instructions and download the Network Stress Test version of the game (download size: approximately 3GB).

4. Start the Dark Souls III Network Stress Test

After completing the download in Step 3, launch the Dark Souls III Network Stress Test version from the content area of the home screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions to begin the Network Stress test.

* Note
The Dark Souls III Network Stress Test can only be launched when the game servers are open. It will not work outside of the testing period.

So all you need is the client then? I guess all of us who already downloaded it when it was up should be able to take part then.

I'm in EU, so I know for sure I haven't gotten in.

If anyone has a spare code that they don't want I'll gladly take it off your hands!

 

[Cronen]

In Europe, and no email .

 

[Safeto20Scroll]

(OCE/EU)

I did not get to be the chosen undead.

Ahh well, April is only ~6 months away...
Enjoy everyone who got invites, fight on and praise the lords!

Only one worth praising for and it's the sun!

 

[Conrad Link]

Well thank goodness for that, I found my old email with the registration code thing. :| Lucky I'm a packrat who keeps everything! I knew I wouldn't have deleted it lol.

Praise the sun!

 

[Absoludacrous]

? Yes they did.

I don't think we've had anyone from NA confirm getting an email yet, so it's possible they haven't sent out the NA ones, despite the time listing.

 

[Sesuadra]

praise the sun, this weekend is gonna be deathly.

 

[Intel_89]

I dind't even get a confirmation code or whatever so I guess I wasn't as lucky as some of our fellow GAFers, oh well.

 

[Ferr986]

Man, what I'm gonna do this weekend without this

My sun... it's setting... is dark, so dark...

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

I don't think we've had anyone from NA confirm getting an email yet, so it's possible they haven't sent out the NA ones, despite the time listing.

Then that means I still have a chance...

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Well thank goodness for that, I found my old email with the registration code thing. :| Lucky I'm a packrat who keeps everything! I knew I wouldn't have deleted it lol.

Praise the sun!

You mean the temporary registration? What's that have to do with anything, it only was so you could access the lottery.

This registration is still temporary; your Network Stress tester registration isn’t complete yet. In order to complete your application, you’ll need to complete the main registration phase.
This email should also not be construed to mean that you are definitely invited to the Network Stress Test; we’ll be running a lottery to choose testers and sending notices to the winners at a later date.

 

[Nabbis]

No love for EU.

 

[silva1991]

I already downloaded the beta days ago. I can play it even though I was not selected right?

 

[Absoludacrous]

No one is going to know for sure until it starts, but odds are you'll probably be able to play it.

 

[silva1991]

Let's hope so. I never ever won a lottery and probably never will.

 

[GRaider81]

Yay got an EU PC code

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

Got in!

Spoiler

EU here.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Yes.
hoping we get at least two bosses in this, same size as ds2beta would be nice

 

[silva1991]

Yay got an EU PC code

Wait what? I thought beta was for PS4 only? O_O

 

[Protocol7]

Hum seems people are misunderstanding this Stress test (didn't read the 7 pages...)

You had (the APPLY button isn't there any more) to register using this page and from there, you are selected via a lottery, then you need to enter the code you received via a process they explain in the mail you receive (again, if you've been selected).

There are also schedules for the stress test on this page

OP should update his post, people are being mislead here... it's going to create frustration for nothing...

 

[SictorVullivan]

Got in! My registration code was actually deleted, but I was able to recover a load of deleted emails (outlook) and got the code back. So downloading the client now!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Yay got an EU PC code

Pc :0?

 

[Hanmik]

typical..

 

[DrStruts]

I never get into these Souls betas. I applied for DS2, Bloodborne and this and have been accepted for none of them. I might as well just give up because it pisses me off every single time.

 

[GRaider81]

Pc :0?

Sure it was for PC, did we not have to select which platform? I may be mistaken. . .

[Heartfyre]

Yeah, didn't get in. A shame they do it by lottery rather than checking trophies or something. I only got such a brief taste at Gamescom that I was really anticipating getting hands-on with it again. Have fun ice skating on those castle walls, lucky GAFfers.

 

[GRaider81]

My mistake, saw PC in address to click on.

It is indeed PS4!

 

[Footos22]

Got my code.
From love me.

 

[takriel]

Oh well, I'll be watching live streams then! Peeve's Bloodborne demo playthrough was great to watch!

 

[Brohan]

This is the first of the three that i got acces to, it's just sheer luck i guess.

I bet there are some lucky bastards that got into all three of the beta tests.

 

[Despera]

So I didn't get a code, but my friend did.

Guess I'll be playing it through his account whenever I have the chance :]

btw, for those who downloaded the client when it was accidentally listed, do they need a key to participate?

The key allows you to download the client. After that you're in, as far as I understand.
