Got invited as well, I press X in the message and the download doesn't start.

Got an invite, pressed X, took me to a page with no download option.

This is extra bizzare since I only played TNO on Xbox One and PC and only played the PS4 version of TOB but... hell, I'll take it.

Look for Main Menu in your library.

Got my PS4 invite, but like everyone else it doesn't download. I'm guessing they jumped the gun and it's not supposed to go up until tomorrow.

Why can't I get in? I bought Wolfenstein.. send me a frikkin invite.
I don't know what hoops I jumped through to get the last test, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Or is this the same App that was used before?

I participated in the first Closed Alpha. Does this mean I’m eligible to participate in a later Closed Alpha test?

Yes. You can download and install the next closed Alpha test from your games library, when it’s available.

This answers my previous question! I look forward to seeing what was changed.

Yeah, I just got the same message and there's nothing on the store yet. Seems like it's a new client for this round of tests. I'll wait until it's up to try again.

In the same boat as the new round of PS4 users. Message but no link to start the actual download.

Does saying we've been selected to be in the alpha violate the NDA?


EDIT: Going into Settings > Services, I found DOOM Closed Alpha listed in there. The Doom Beta placeholder is now gone though. I'm assuming it's just going to download automatically when it goes live. Rest mode it is.

Got an invitation, too. If I go to system settings > psn account management > account information > services list, then there is an icon for DOOM Closed Alpha. It's not yet in my library though. I assume it'll show up in a couple of hours.

Do they have dedicated servers and a real PC interface this time? The last alpha felt like console garbage compared to id's historical multiplayer titles.

Actually, the last alpha DID use dedicated servers; when it said "searching for host", if was finding the closest dedicated server to your IP address.

Got the message/notification from PSN that my download link will be in my library at 1 P.M. EST...I am not good at Doom multiplayer(any deathmatch stuff really) lol but I guess I will give it a shot...(or get shot) ;)

If you already played the alpha last time you can just download it again from your ready to install list (Xbox1) - just waiting for them servers.

I have it locked and loaded on my Xbox One. Hopefully will be able to play it tonight.

Anybody know if there is a non-disclosure tied to this that prevents folks from talking about it and streaming it?

You can say you had fun or whatever but do not go in-depth about every little detail or post screens

I didn't get any notification or email but just downloaded the alpha from the store. I have the beta key from wolfenstein and I signed up for the first alpha but didn't get in.

Was in the first closed alpha and I have noticed the client itself has updated itself several times since then, including last week. Cannot wait to check it out again. Really enjoyed the first round. In fact I would say it was directly responsible for my renewed interest in playing MP shooters again! I went on a good almost 2 year hiatus.
With the above said, also want to check out the Uncharted 4 MP Beta and have little to no time to play either.
Damn.

That's so people on your friends list/followers won't be able to see what you're playing (and so you don't break NDA if there are privacy settings to be followed).

oh gotcha, lol. it's kinda silly having an NDA and privacy and all that for a test that's going out to a large chunk of the public. I get the reasons, but it's kinda silly lol.

I'm in the same boat as the PS4 users above. Not in my library and the link from Playstation doesn't have a download. Anyone know what's up yet?

I don't know how things are on the PS4 version, but on Xbox One the game is under the title "Main Menu". Which is something they do for games they don't want listed normally, so it shows up as "Main Menu" when people on the friends list see them playing it, usually won't show up under their recently played either.

So, maybe check for that name.
