I have an extra PS4 key. I would love to swap for a Steam key.

 

[JaseC]

Seems like a lot of people who bought it digitally is having this issue. One of the beta forum moderators posted this

This is for the PS4 users who purchased the Wolfenstein digital version

Well, it's not really an issue since the key isn't required. It just means that a friend will miss out.

Arghhhh I am so jelly, wish I had this for Steam.

Look a few posts above your own. Edit: It's gone.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Hey if you don't mind, I'd love to take it!

Check your PM ; )

 

[GenericUser]

any leftover ps4 keys? I'm a quake 3 fanatic who would love to try out the new doom.

 

[OdysseusVA]

So who will do the Beta OT`??

I already prepared some stuff if no one wants do it


Oh btw the XboxOne Beta is now up.

Go for it.
Also, what time do the servers go online?

 

[Mike Golf]

Thanks for the thread OP, reminded me that it was coming. Checked my mailbox as soon as I saw the thread and my code's there. Wish there was some SP content this time instead of MP, but hey it's more DOOM so can't complain.

 

[JaseC]

31/03 at 10pm ET.

And the beta ends at 11:59pm on the 3rd.

Well the issue that is happening is that most can't find the actual beta to download. By the sounds of it the beta isn't just gonna show up in your list but you will need to input the code they mail you to actually be able to download it, it won't be added automatically to your list without the code.

[Jarrod38]

Will there be an open beta for this?

Ah, right. The info you posted says that you'll receive a PM on PSN itself. There's still more than a day to go so I wouldn't worry just yet.

Thanks!

I'm glad you didn't catch my original post, haha. I always forget that Secondapps' countdown generator doesn't automatically take into account daylight savings.

 

[DieH@rd]

I still can't find a way to download this. :-/

 

[Voho]

I keep getting a "Failed to start game - Unknown error" popup when attempting to launch. Is this normal, since the beta begins tomorrow?

Edit: On Steam.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Don't know if this works? PS4: R786-MNN3-7N33

Yeah, it's the same thing that occurred with the Alpha. They'll basically push an update when the Beta will go live.

Edit: On Steam.

The app is set to "unavailable", so you can install it but not run it. The release state will be changed when the beta goes live, and there'll presumably be a patch as the executable is 0KB. Basically, it's a pre-load that doesn't utilise Steam's pre-load function.

 

[Voho]

Phew. Awesome. Thanks guys.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

I would absolutely LOVE a Steam beta key. If anyone could PM one to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

[valkillmore]

If anyone has a PS4 DOOM key that would like to pass on to a very appreciative fellow GAFer, please PM me. I hope to somehow repay you in the future.

 

[ViolentP]

Are codes tradeable? I have a PS4 code but would much rather play the beta on PC.

 

[ThankeeSai]

Just uploaded a quick video showing customisation of your character and weapons and the taunts available, for those who might not have seen it.

Excuse the quality, uploaded to YouTube directly from Xbox.

*edit* 720p available now.

fuck bethesda for not giving out beta keys to those that pre-ordered DOOM

I already bought the game. Why am I not allowed to play the beta?

 

[Brian_FETO]

Probably because the DOOM beta was a preorder bonus for Wolfenstein two years ago lol

Odd. I never preordered the games but I have received alpha and beta entry. Maybe a signup I forgot I participated in?

It was a mess beforehand with the alpha where players were to be selected from the beta pool, but that got messed up so they switched to manual sign up. Who knows at this point

 

[SRV]

Would love a PS4 code if anyone has a spare.

I'll be surprised if there isn't another beta closer to release that includes Doom pre-purchasers.

It's gone, damn


Anyone with a PS4 spare code ?

 

[AllBusinessJr]

I still can't find a way to download this. :-/

I'm in the same boat. Received the email, but no code.

 

[JayEH]

So I got in through putting in a wolf code 2 years ago or whatever but my email didn't have a code and i can't download through any links here.

edit: ah ok others having this problem as well.

found this on the forums.

https://community.bethesda.net/thread/3614

You should be receiving a system inbox message later today providing a download code so you can download the Closed Beta client.

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Go for it.
Also, what time do the servers go online?

Will post that OT sometime around 8pm CEST tomorrow then. That will be still some hours before the beta starts but should be okey i guess?

 

[DOWN]

I entered the original code way back when I got Wolfenstein. Got a message on PSN saying to download the beta, but when it takes me to the beta page on the store, it says I can't download because I'm missing the pre-order code. I definitely redeemed the code so what gives?

 

[JaseC]

Yeah. Technically, OTs aren't supposed to go up until the day of release, but the day before release is fine. That being said, it's encouraged that OTs be used for a game's general release whereas limited-time betas and the like be general threads instead. You can still implement a witty subtitle, though. E.g.: Doom Closed Beta thread: All my friends are dead.

I had something in mind like

DOOM Beta [OT] Halo in Hell?

So the OT will be up March 31 8pm CEST

I finally got around to seeing if I got a message about the beta, and I'm having the same problem as well.

If you're going to include an OT denotation, then you should use |OT| for the sake of consistency.

 

[SephLuis]

Okay, so I receive a warning from Playstation saying Welcome to the DOOM Beta and it takes me to the store page where I am supposed to download the client.

I get there and it says product not available for purchase. Anyone else having the same issues ?

Yep, I don't get what's wrong

 

[chronic_archaic]

Asked before but can't figure out if it's been confirmed - did the Xbox One codes go out yet? I'm getting worried since we're only 24 hours away

I got my Bone code yesterday

 

[LQX]

Anyone has a PC code they are wiling to trade for the XB1 version?

 

[forgeforsaken]

So in PS4 I got the message with click X to download and it takes me to the page but says can't be purchased...

 

[chronic_archaic]

I got the email confirming I registered three months ago, wonder where it is...

 

[Messofanego]

lmao only just bothered to grab my PC copy of Wolfenstein TNO right now and signed myself up.

I do have a spare PS4 key cause of a double dip, quote to see it:

I thought you had to preorder TNO to get a beta code?

First-run retail copies also include beta access as the X1 didn't support digital pre-orders when Wolf14 released and this two-week "grace period" was applied to other platforms as well. E.g.: https://steamdb.info/sub/41632/ and https://steamdb.info/sub/44649/.

There was actually an amusing situation with GMG as it didn't bin its Wolf14 pre-purchase keys, so instead it continued to sell them for around two or three months after launch, until supply dried up. Either GMG simply forgot to bin the keys or Bethesda forgot to tell GMG to do so. Regardless, some PC players got a little lucky.

Oh I see. Was thinking if I can get a code just from buying TNO right now I would lol

I'll probably pick it up regardless, though. Need to play it.
