If you are not yet a part of the MAG Public Beta there is still time. If you pre-order MAG at GameStop in the US or EB Games in Canada you receive access to the MAG Public Beta. And remember, from November 9th until November 20th the only way to access the MAG Public Beta in North America is to pre-order MAG.

We look forward to seeing you in battle.

nice i was hoping for an update soon, hope this makes this already pretty awesome piece of work better.

[skotosa]

Sweet, this will make the game way more fun.

I'm downloading right now but its really slow for me. Hope its just cause of traffic and will clear up.

[sharks]

ok, i don't understand... it started as a 37MB update and then it's now downloading 2800MB from the servers!! is this normal?

[semitope]

Yes it is. The update affects the entire beta so it should be expected. I think the smaller update might be just for the netcode or something similar while the large one puts in the sounds, textures etc

[BlingOnMyWrist]

What the hell. I JUST updated to the most previous update. The beta times are ridiculous and the updates are incredibly large.

[skotosa]

I fear I'm stuck at 99 percent. Any advice, waiting is all I can do or restart.

Yeah I've done that 7 or 8 times already. At first it helped it progress from .17 to .87 but now its at 2681.17Mb and won't move up. So close yet so far. I've restarted 4 times already giving it 40 minutes each time and nothing.

Just being really patient.

[TheCasbah]

I am also stuck at 99%... Please don't tell me I have to redownload that monstrous patch.
