So far enjoying the graphics update in general. Having trouble on clicking some doors etc. Tried to do agility pyramid, could not cross the first log due to this issue. The whirlpool entrance to Ancient Caverns seems to be experiencing a severe drought. No water graphics for that area. Combat seems to be a bit faster. Frame rate for scenery extremely slow after teleporting. A few other minor bugs in caves under Lumby: frogs "climbing" rocks, I was able to "melt" into walls, and tears of guthix didn't work well. Difficult to click on streams. Will continue testing. Is this the forum you want feedback on? Hope so, cuz that's where i put it. Can I have my party hat now? :)

I didn't know where to post this, so I try here.
I have received approval mail for beta testing, but I can't log in to the beta.
I get Message that my account is not an approved beta user.

I can't post on beta forum either. I even received a survey about the beta.

My main acc, which is a gold member, did not get that mail in privat mail rl, only within the rs mail system.

Here are my impressions.

Firstly, I LOVE the new graphical effects, the draw distance, the water, the shading, and the lighting is absolutely gorgeous. I love being in my house and seeing the light pour in through the window. It's fantastic. The look of the beta is nothing short of amazing. I can't say enough good about it.

The downside? The game is so slow and so ridiculously laggy that it's almost completely unplayable on my computer, even on low graphical settings. I do understand that this is at least partially because the beta is not yet optimised. I hope that when it is, it can run just as fast as the main game (or even faster!), which I play on high graphical settings with significant lag only when I head into busy areas like cities.

The visual effects are stunning. If Jagex can get RS3 to run more efficiently and faster than RS2, I'll be sold on it. I just hope I don't have to spend $200 on a new graphics card to play RS3 the way it was meant to be played.

Here are my computer's stats:

Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Aspire X1900
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU, 3.20GHz
RAM: 3GB
System type: 64-bit OS
Graphics card: Intel G41 Express Chipset, 1294MB
117GB free of 582GB
