beta-discussion

[clear walrus]

i’m convinced i put in my discord wrong 😔

[leaden oak]

Noooooooooooo Tgc sent out all emails. What have i haven’t done not to get pc beta ? man i have been waiting for hours and i feel terrible now. Waiting since 8:00 am and now it’s 11:54 am

[agile kraken]

Theres too many people they probably didnt even see you

[clear walrus]

i’ve been looking up “sky for pc” for the last few months LMAO

[dry ibex]

It’s randomly selected, the only requirement was filling in the google docs

[fair shard]

Do you really think it'll take that long?

If the game is close enough to be in beta I definitely would've have expected that timeframe

[leaden oak]

but i applied the application within few moments when the blog post is out

[clear walrus]

spain without the s

[agile kraken]

Tbh i kinda think it'll take even longer lmao

[spark lance]

Picking people was completely random fyi

[delicate shuttle]

ofc we're not lucky as usual

[slow crow]

when rng is not on our side

[dry ibex]

It wasn’t “first come, first serve” - it was randomly selected! It was all random y’all.

We will all be able to play Sky on PC in Live soon

[fair shard]

I hope not lmao
What was the kind of timeframe like for the other versions?

[agile kraken]

It doesnt matter buddy :v

and there will probably be more keys along the way, it will take some time for a Live version, so don't worry

[grand siren]

i miss playing with my friends lol, i went wild when the camera feature was released cause i love photography

[fair shard]

Yeah, probably will be more. They know just how awaited the PC version is.
The best thing to do atm is to just wait patiently.

Just I wasn't expecting a 4-5 month timeframe given PC is entering beta.

[hybrid raft]

apologies if this is a stupid question but i read the faq again and see “steam keys will be sent on an as need basis” does this mean there will be more (probably smaller) waves? if i have this correct, then please don’t feel super discouraged!! you might still have a chance to get in :] also we get to look forward to the eventual live release. i’m just super excited to see that as well

[gilded parrot]

it took a certain programmer 227673 lines of code to make me say this one thing

[hybrid raft]

it will take me 227673 minutes to try to sleep tonight after today’s excitement

[jaunty cosmos]

It will take me 227673 hours to recover from missing this wave ||/hj it’s okay||

[late sonnet]

at least skybot is here with us to celebrate build 227673, the build of all time

[grand siren]

how often are waves?

[languid sandal]

what's this 227673 thing about? i'm not in the loop on this

[gilded parrot]

I have 227673 peas in a bowl

[clear walrus]

i’m losing sleep over this i just wanna make sky content on on my youtube channel

[dry ibex]

It’s on an as-need basis, there is no time schedule for it at all

[jaunty cosmos]

Sleep is more important it’s not like the email would just disappear after you got it

[languid sandal]

thanks for the explanation skybot, very useful

[grand siren]

ah- right, thank you!

[late sonnet]

they’ve actually increased the amount of invites for android recently by a ridiculous amount because they wanted as many people as possible for concert stress testing
whether that’s the case for the future who knows, but that’s a clear example of how they open when they need more testers

[languid sandal]

oml that's...

[gilded parrot]

227673? what are you talking about?

[stray pulsar]

PC BETA OUT? NO WAY.

[late sonnet]

it all started when kev was like
"doot? 227673?"

and it all went downhill from there

[gilded parrot]

did you know that 2 x 2 x 7 x 6 x 7 x 3 accutally equals 227673?? Try it!

[clear walrus]

did u get in

[barren mist]

*uphill

[late sonnet]

up and downhill
227673 is versatile like that bruh

[left quest]

It's a whole valley

[leaden oak]

You had one job

[gilded fractal]

No lucky on meeee

[valid flint]

Help- where all spot of cream ticket today guys?

[clear walrus]

guys not getting into sky pc beta is worst than a break up 😭

[late sonnet]

you can still test beta if you're in it? and play PC with everyone else when it launches
there's not that much of a loss

[slow crow]

i didnt expect to get in, so its not bad for me

[stray pulsar]

I'm in school for now. I'll check later when I got back.

[delicate shuttle]

it's boring, we need beta excitement

[late sonnet]

if anything, mobile testing is more fun because PC is strictly just UI + bugs and not the content whatnot
that's the fun part of beta for me

do not ping reply me thanks

[clear walrus]

nah i need pc

[dry ibex]

Maybe you’ll have more luck if a next invite wave happens

[leaden oak]

i hope tgc don’t take years for beta invites like those mobile betas

[young gorge]

Forget about Pc I need project Aviary

[dry ibex]

It doesn’t take years, we have had a gazillion android invite waves in the last 2 months 💀

[late sonnet]

forget PC I wanna see the next season + mischief testing now LOL

[leaden oak]

0.23.0 ig

[clear walrus]

okay but project avery on 120

[deep turtle]

Some of us can't really play beta due to phone storage and/or the phones not being able to run the beta.

It may not be the end of the world, but it is a bit of a bummer seeing some people who can run beta on mobile also be able to do beta on pc.

If this sounds rude I am genuinely sorry

[slow crow]

im more excited for the next days of bloom but this is next year

[naive solar]

120 fps?

[echo iron]

Random but it would be cool if the cursor was like a star

[clear walrus]

ya

[naive solar]

yeah that'd be cool!

[late sonnet]

I didn't get into PC either and I applied, so I'm just looking on the bright side of things

I was also just a lurker here for an entire year without joining beta so there's plenty of ways to contribute even if you're not an actual tester in the beta program

[gilded parrot]

2 for me, 2 for you, 7 for me, 6 for you, 7 for me, 3 for you

[agile kraken]

Btw, we can't buy Season Pass in pc beta, right? It doesn't give me an option

[echo iron]

i don’t wanna put it in feedback cause uhh💥

[dry ibex]

Wym, it’s literally the only way to get the devs to notice

[zenith lynx]

Exactly! I used to leave beta feedback after watching nastymolds videos or lurking here. You can still know what's going on in beta and leave feedback about it even if you're not a tester!

[echo iron]

Yeah but

[late sonnet]

devs don't backread the discussion channels
if you want them to 100% see what you have to say, post to #beta-feedback

[jaunty cosmos]

We need an iOS wave!!!!!! 🕯️ 🕯️

[young gorge]

(Sorry for this random comment) I was wondering when is like the last season cause the map is getting pretty full 😭

[dry ibex]

huh, you can just leave feedback like “would be cool if the cursor was a star”. That’s it! The devs really, really look at feedback.

If you want change, it’s the only way to get your ideas to the devs

[zenith lynx]

iOS has limited slots unlike android so they can't open it up when it's at full capacity

[dry ibex]

It’s been aaaaages! I’ve been playing on iOS for a whileee now. Hope some spots open soon!

[jaunty cosmos]

Well my android is literal garbage so manifesting

[clear walrus]

if they were to change the cursor hopefully they give an option to keep the regular one

[gilded fractal]

but ok , i hope next i get beta test On IOS. i really want it

[late sonnet]

My feedback was purely on cosmetics only since that was my only frame of reference (and I wanted to avoid other spoilers as best I could)
like seriously just talking in here or lurking teaches you so much that like, once you actually get to join beta you're very prepared to figure out how stuff happens

[viscid sundial]

Season in eden when

[late sonnet]

shattering.....TWO

[zenith lynx]

I feel your pain I mainly play on switch on live and compared to that the graphics on android are just terrible lmao

[strong sentinel]

Eden 2.0
Actually it would be hard after PC release because people gotta adjust to new controls

[viscid sundial]

I don't count shattering as an eden season tbh. A season located In Eden would be epic tho

[agile kraken]

not really since pc people can use joysticks

[sage haven]

What do you think the PC pack will have?

[late sonnet]

(it's an inside joke dw about it lol)

[jaunty cosmos]

I finally got into a beta wave for android and it literally wouldn’t let me install it it’s so bad

NO OTHER APPS ON THE DEVICE and I still couldn’t install

[strong sentinel]

Not everyone has joysticks

[clear walrus]

there’s going to be a pc pack?

[zenith lynx]

Yeah exactly, you can't leave bug reports since you don't experience them but you sure as heck can leave feedback about cosmetics. They don't check if you're actually in beta nor should that matter when it comes to cosmetics

[echo iron]

There may not be a pack who knows

[slow crow]

im born ready for pc controls, since i really like kb&m more

[zenith lynx]

Oh I'm so sorry! That really sucks 😭

[dry ibex]

And feedback is suuuuper important!!!!

I was just saying a couple days ago in another chat that - especially in the last few builds - it felt like our feedback got implemented super fast. The devs do listen, even if you’re not a beta tester. Can’t stress it enough

[late sonnet]

ESPECIALLY MORESO
the earlier the feedback is sent, the better
because the devs have more time to put it into the game

short bullets points are better than essays that take a few days to throw together
get your points across

[zenith lynx]

Yessss! It always makes me so happy when feedback I (and many others too undoubtedly) sent gets implemented! Ofc they can't always listen, but devs definitely do read feedback!

[unkempt ridge]

wait so, I'm really confused and I hope I can say this here-

• A staff member said some keys were sent out in emails today, but it seems like no one right here is able to play so far.
• I can see bug reports of pc and pc beta info, but I haven't gotten any emails about this, not only that, i checked my google account and i says i havent submitted any forms, and i for sure did to apply for this on my pc, though I did only just apply today.
• On my mobile/Apple/iPad Beta, in the 'Choose a Login' screen I can see a login for steam, so im very confused if that means its available for me or its jsut there to keep things simple.

I'm probably forgetting some details about my issues but I have that kind of problem when trying to talk about issues with more than 1 person ;-;
If anyone has tips on who I should talk to or what to do by myself please tell me :,D

[strong sentinel]

So the cursor on PC currently is like normal win cursor?

[late sonnet]

• people got in, just not everyone
• if you didn't get an email then you didn't get into PC beta

[zenith lynx]

From what I can tell from nastymolds video (not in pc beta myself), yes

[dry ibex]

But, the devs mentioned invite waves are on an as-need basis, so maybe next time!

[viscid sundial]

having steam as a login option doesn't mean it's available to you, it just means your steam account is an option to log in with/link your account to

[unkempt ridge]

Oh okay. Also, Does anyone know if there will be more little waves of people getting into Sky PC beta? Cuz i mean, its just starting.

[agile kraken]

probably, yeah, but they didn't talk about it yet

[late sonnet]

!wafo

[gilded parrot]

🧇 Beta testers don't know when things will happen in Beta or Live Any Beta announcements will be made in ⁠#beta-announcements, and Live announcements will be made in #news!

[unkempt ridge]

Ah ok, cuz thats makes sense, but for now i guess we dont know for sure. Thank you guys i was getting kind of anxious of what to say or do about that stuff, but now im relieved :D

[strong sentinel]

They need a strict feedback on UI and performance right now. So there are not many people who was taken in. When they need more stress testing for PC version- they might open it up but no hopes

[torpid jasper]

So if I haven't gotten an email yet, I've for sure not gotten in?

[late sonnet]

no email = you ain't in PC beta

[ember cedar]

question but is the windows version like
windows 11 windows 10?

[clear walrus]

i have windows 11 it’s supported right?

[fresh breach]

Can beta PC players and beta Mobile users play together?

[delicate shuttle]

we're just unlucky, don't worry

[zenith lynx]

Yes! This is mentioned in #beta-pc-windows-faq

[gilded parrot]

TypeError: int 227673 is not iterable

[chrome ivy]

No Beta Email's, Damn it.

[lilac bobcat]

Will left handed support come to Sky Steam Edition?

[chrome ivy]

Wdym, It's just Keyboard and Mouse. Not touchscreen.

[fresh breach]

Thanks

[zenith lynx]

Maybe steam deck? Idk lol

[lilac bobcat]

The controls are currently set to asdw which makes things incredibly uncomfortable as a left handed humen

[chrome ivy]

So the mouse is freecam?

[lilac bobcat]

Probably

[zenith lynx]

We don't know anything that happens in advance, but if you'd like to see changes be sure to send your thoughts to #beta-feedback

[fresh breach]

Do I report a crash in #beta-feedback? I have video footage of me crashing

[viscid sundial]

you report it in the bug report channels

[fresh breach]

Rightt, its been so long since I was last active in this server haha, ill do that later gtg to sch, thanks!

[chrome ivy]

The fact that there's no logo on the Sky Exe when launched mean's it's pretty much 100% gonna break

[ember cedar]

im so confused already trying to find physical ram

[brittle sierra]

anyone else having login issues or is it just me? im stuck on the login page both on android and laptop (steam)

edit: nvm, its fixed now! xD

[steady flume]

Has a dev said anything about how long PC beta will be tested? like is it gonna stay after PC launch like mobile or is it just until launch?

[gleaming flume]

😭 ive been missed the mobile beta waves
Now pc beta test

[magic scaffold]

server down ?

[sick heart]

Sad i didnt get a pc invite, i cannot physically stand playing on phone

[delicate shuttle]

i guess i should stop checking my mail box.... 👍

[tranquil mantle]

I haven't receive the email from the PC beat now, is it just that it hasn't passed?（i'm from china,my english is not good）

[late sonnet]

all PC invites were sent out
if you did not receive an email, you did not get in.

[clear walrus]

LMAOOO the way i’m still checking my email every 2 minutes is pathetic 😭

[tranquil mantle]

ok,thank you

[sick heart]

me

[unborn root]

So, is email slowly coming to people?
I still haven't received the email for the PC beta

[ember cedar]

Does anyone knows where the in game screenshots go in sky pc?

[clear walrus]

If you haven’t received one by now then you didn’t get in, sadly 😔

[unborn root]

So it was useless for me to register? pathetic

[lucid warren]

aaaagh i was gonna launch the sky pc beta when i just realized my processor is from october 2012 when the minimum is a 2013 processor...graaagh it's a few months off
might see about getting a 2013 processor if possible sometime soon

[tranquil mantle]

me too

[clear walrus]

no don’t say that, you will have future chances

[timid bough]

im sure pc launch for everyone won't be so far away even if you missed the pc beta

[brittle sierra]

i dont know if a lot of people knew about this already but i kinda figured it out how to barrel roll on pc. you just have to long press tab then you'll start rolling while flying, it kinda worked for me ig :0

[delicate shuttle]

AHAHAHAHA BRO SAME

[agile hazel]

You can just try to see it it works

[lucid warren]

it doesn't, the sky pc beta REFUSES to launch
(as in, it shows me as playing the beta in steam for a second or two, then puts me back to the blue status)

[tranquil mantle]

Why do you say that？

[late sonnet]

because the result of invitation was by pure random chance
they will invite more people in the future if more testers are needed.

[storm escarp]

Rip, that's bad luck right there

[lucid warren]

i might try restarting my computer to see if that even makes a difference in the morning since it's almost 3am rn since i've had it running for a while (coughcough i use sleep mode instead of shutting it down when i go to bed)

[storm escarp]

XD

[storm escarp]

Then good night for you! It's just morning right here at the moment

[lucid warren]

im not giving up on the pc beta yet, im not giving up on being free from mobile typos (and testing i actually wanna help with bugtesting the pc beta and stuff, not just being free from typos)

[late sonnet]

and always, there's ways to participate in beta even if you're not in the beta test program
even sending feedback based on others' videos is helpful

[magic scaffold]

is server down ?

[paper tulip]

There may be more waves of invites due to the upcoming concert, it seems the keys were sent manually (rather than mobile beta where its the user's responsibility to join) so they might not have added a large amount of players just yet

[random grove]

Im checking into this. it sometimes happens with other steam games as well. I already verified my cpu and it should work. (I have a Vishera)

[late sonnet]

they're not looking to test concert content for PC
the purpose of PC beta testing is purely for gameplay + bugs + UI

if they wanted more testers they would just open android invites again

[timid bough]

server is very wonky rn, i got stuck collecting the first wing light due to connection errors

[idle nexus]

PC Beta testers, are you playing via keyboard or game controller?

[timid bough]

keyboard n mouse, the buggy cursor is very annoying rn

[hollow compass]

I do hope most are playing with controller

[agile hazel]

That kinda defeats the point of testing the pc configuration

[vernal monolith]

Are there people here who also applied for sky pc beta but have not yet received a key?

[hollow compass]

Why would it?

[alpine junco]

no

[zenith lynx]

People were selected by random, if you haven't received an email by now you did not get in

[late sonnet]

All the invites had finished being sent out earlier if you didn't get one then that's it

[agile hazel]

To see if the keyboard bindings/settings feel good to play with

[alpine junco]

what exact model?

[vernal monolith]

Okay, thank you. I thought I'd misread my own mail

[hollow compass]

I play all of my PC games with controller, except sometimes Minecraft and Sims 4. Sky in particular never made sense on WASD, even back during Macbook beta. It's terribly clunky

[agile hazel]

Not everyone has as controller to play with

[lucid warren]

copypasted from my about pc page in settings, my processor is AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor, released in oct 2012 as mentioned before
it's only a few months shy from 2013 so i was hoping it couldve possibly worked

[steady flume]

isn't that exactly why it should be tested? so that players can submit feedback to make it less clunky

[zenith lynx]

Isn't pc testing mostly for the UI anyway? If you play with controller that kind of defeats that purpose
PC testers don't have to leave feedback about cosmetics and so on because that's what the mobile beta is for

[agile kraken]

Yep, i'm playing with a Controller and it's been working fine

[alpine junco]

you have AVX but not AVX2 and it would technically cover minimum requirements, go launch the game

[hollow compass]

Players submitted a truckload of feedback on the bad controller mapping for Switch and look where that got us

[agile hazel]

Like how TAB and E funcations should be swapped around. TAB should be to open expressions and E to toggle flight instead of the reverse

[lucid warren]

problem is that sky is refusing to launch, i dont think ive heard of vulkin drivers before so im working on installing those rn to see if that might fix it

[alpine junco]

what graphics do you have?

[lucid warren]

display adapters say that i have a nvidia geforce rtx 970

[steady flume]

so players should just not send feedback for keyboard controls? 😭

[wet light]

Don't you need to test both controller and keyboard tho? Beside PC live is coming soon so focus on keybind is probably more favorable

[alpine junco]

get the latest nvidia drivers on their site and you should be good

[agile kraken]

It will probably work fine, install it

[lucid warren]

meant nvidia geforce gtx 970 but alr, i'll install the drivers stuff

[agile kraken]

Just install Geforce Experience and let it install all the drivers u need

[lucid warren]

only problem is that it forces you to make an account to install the drivers on geforce experience...lemme do that rq

ok installing current drivers rn

[unique torrent]

yeah never liked nvidia for that honestly

[lucid warren]

ok update the download finished, now im actually installing the drivers lol
i keep confusing download and install sometimes lol

[broken bison]

I didnt recieved the PC Beta Invite, cya all when PC Live comes out.

|| X,D||

[alpine junco]

nvcleanstall, never dealt with their garbage

[storm escarp]

I hope that fixes ur problems, I am starving to play the pc beta since I didn't get the key, but other people has the right to enjoy it too

[glacial storm]

For the Z keybind - controller map, what does that do?

[odd anchor]

just show the control, what button for what function

[glacial storm]

oh, just pulls up the entire keybind menu?

[lucid warren]

ok im back from updating drivers
and sky pc beta still refuses to load...heck (at least i have up to date drivers ig haha)

[odd anchor]

#beta-screenshots-videos message (nastymold's screenshot) it shows something like this

[alpine junco]

if this game actually requires AVX2 this will be the first time i ever see it

[lucid warren]

im just hoping that im not locked out of the pc beta all because my processor isn't avx2..

[glacial storm]

cri, aight thx vel

[alpine junco]

it's AVX which is enough for 99.9% of games

you have enough ram right?

[lucid warren]

yeah, i have 32 gigs of ram

ok it MIGHT be because the gpu minimum requirement says gtx 1030 (2017) and i have a gtx 970 (2014)
gragh

i might see about trying on the computer i have over at my parents when i go over for the weekend though, that one is much more higher end

[alpine junco]

nonono

[agile hazel]

Wait what? 32 gb ram but a gtx 970? Damn

[alpine junco]

the 970 is WAY faster than a 1030, something else may be wrong with your windows install... it's windows 10 or 11 right?

[lucid warren]

win10 64bit

[storm escarp]

May be some support that was added on that generation of gpus

[alpine junco]

check event viewer for errors related to sky

[unique torrent]

this is a stupid question but hows your storage situation? like on your PC

[storm escarp]

From what I see, the vulkan version for the gtx 970 is lower, maybe this game uses vulkan?

[lucid warren]

28.5gb free on c drive WITH the sky pc beta installed, 882gb free on my portable ssd

[alpine junco]

it's vulkan 1.3, sky asks for 1.2

[lucid warren]

ok i checked event viewer, found this about sky:
"Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Sky.exe because of this error."

[storm escarp]

I see, hmmmm

[random grove]

By any chance is it installed (via steam) on a seperate drive?

[alpine junco]

verify integrity

[strong sentinel]

PC gang
If any of you made some cool screenshots can you dm me them?
Wanna see how it all looks like

[lucid warren]

no, i installed it to my c drive
and yeah, im verifying the file integrety rn

nope, verifying integrity didn't work, got same error in event viewer

[alpine junco]

try transferring the game to the portable ssd, make a steam library

[lucid warren]

if it helps at all heres the additional data bit from the bottom of the log:
Additional Data
Error value: 00000000
Disk type: 0

[alpine junco]

nah

[lucid warren]

also alr, lemme uninstall the sky pc beta from my c drive and attempt running it off of my ssd

[alpine junco]

you can just transfer it using steam's storage manager

[lucid warren]

ive already got it installing to the ssd

i dont usually install my steam games to the ssd but. this'll be worth a shot

[agile hazel]

It's much better to install games on a ssd in general, faster loading

[lucid warren]

my portable ssd has a 1050mb/s read speed according to the box
...aaand sky STILL refuses to start, what the heck

[hollow compass]

C drive usually doesn't have that much space either, so it's better to keep games on another drive or separate hard disk

[alpine junco]

looking at the latest bug report uhhh

[lucid warren]

i keep getting the same error in the event log

[alpine junco]

sky probably refuses to work on any FX (bulldozer, piledriver, excavator) because they are that bad LOL

[lucid warren]

damn
welp, guess my entire computer is incompatible all because of my processor being a fx type

[agile hazel]

Depends on what you have as your primary storage. I have a 1TB ssd as my main

[alpine junco]

even if it were to work on an FX processor, they are just terrible, always were

from amd's dark ages

[lucid warren]

might see if i can ask my dad for a processor upgrade if possible then
i've got the computer at my parents house too that i can try to use on the weekends so not all hope is lost yet

[alpine junco]

oh and put this as a bug report, maybe they'd do something about FX ;)

[unique torrent]

make sure the processor you pick is also compatible with your motherboard aswell i wish you the best of luck in that upgrade

[agile hazel]

Can't do anything about old outdated stuff

[alpine junco]

intel's offerings from that time will run sky just fine and dandy

[storm escarp]

What model is your fx? The minimum requirements have an fx in there

[alpine junco]

old aint necessarily bad

[solid dune]

I hope PC lets you change keybinds

[unique torrent]

same, might be something to put in feedback (if you're supposed to that is)

[lucid warren]

whats the sky pc beta vresion number foir the bug report

[storm escarp]

Version 0.22.5 app build 227673

[agile hazel]

Doesn't seem so, but you might be able to change controller bind via steam

[lucid warren]

alr, got the bug report submitted, ty for the help

[agile hazel]

I'm still amazed how you have 32gb ram while only have a gtx 970

[lucid warren]

pffyeah, had this computer for a few years now and it still works for me
(also unrelated but nice murder drones pfp !! im working on watching it myself and i loved the pilot hehe)

[alpine junco]

16gb makes a pc usable, 32gb makes a pc snappier ;)

[lucid warren]

imagine what 64gb ram could do

[unique torrent]

pretty sure they have DDR3 ram with those components, it apparently runs very cheap nowadays

[alpine junco]

nothing actually, benefits for normal users and gamers would top at 32

[storm escarp]

Cries in 8gb

[alpine junco]

8gb sticks are the only ones worth getting nowadays, now do 4x8 and you have your 32gb

[agile hazel]

Just surprised cause I pretty much only ever see 32gb ram with beefier builds with something like a rtx 40 series

[unique torrent]

i mean honestly if i wanted a ram upgrade i wouldnt use up all 4 slots, mostly because my cooler gets in the way of the rest of my slots

[alpine junco]

most coolers can acommodate for ram height by putting their fan higher up on the finstack, if the fins themselves are blocking gg

[unique torrent]

yeahh if you install it right, the person that helped me build this pc apparently installed my stock AMD cooler in the wrong direction and now its blocking slots
when i feel like it, i might fix it

[agile hazel]

16gb more than enough for most people anyways. Only need more if you're doing a lot of intensive stuff

[alpine junco]

lemme guess, amd logo on the right side

[unique torrent]

probably, bit hard to see in the glass since its pitch black in there

[carmine thorn]

is there going to be special IAP pack for PC like was on nintendo or PS4-5?

[lucid warren]

ok im prob gonna commit sleep now since its 4:12am
whenever i do go up to my parents for the weekend i'll let yall know if the sky beta works on the pc over there
ty again for helping me with troubleshooting

[dry ibex]

This should be in the #beta-season-test-chat but I am experiencing the same problem! Impossible to get them to show up

[cunning marlin]

Ok, I've sent it, I guess it's a bug

[lost shuttle]

Why won’t the voice of Aurora instrument or something won’t appear in the shop for me?

P.S i didn’t buy it like ever

I also tried restarting the game aswell

[hard drift]

hhh I can't seem to hide my cursor everytime I play in the PC beta now

[ember cedar]

So has anyone found where thr file location for the in game screenshots are?

[hard drift]

I was about to ask that too but i havent yet

[strong sentinel]

It's probably stored the same way as any other games in steam.
Go to Sky steam page they can be featured there or open your "profile" and find "screenshot folder" at the top of the steam page

If you find the folder, dm me some of your cool screenshots, I wanna se the quality

[lost shuttle]

Server issues my beloved(yea nah I was capping)

[stray pulsar]

Ah dang I didn't get the PC beta link 🥰

[strong sentinel]

Also, if it's possible, you could use shift+tab to open steam while sky is running and it will open overlay page where you can access screenshot folder as well, iirc

[stray pulsar]

Idk how many times I kept refreshing my Gmail.

[light panther]

aw shucks i didn't get in i was wondering where the email was,, oh well! cant wait for release or maybe a next wave

[stray sorrel]

when it comes to luck i always miss it, i didn't get in the beta XD, who did of you?

[spark lance]

I have a similar situation :'(

[dry ibex]

Probably a bug, maybe try buying it through the shop after talking to the mannequins.

No idea, best to report it!

[lost shuttle]

Mannequins?

[dry ibex]

Like the IAP mannequins, in the night coliseum. Similar to “talking” to the Sunlight IAP guide in the event area

[lost shuttle]

Golden sparkly thing?

[dry ibex]

Yes or the other two. But if you can’t get it, report it as a bug so people in Live don’t experience the same thing!

Beta be beta, it’s always possible a bug happens or that we’re somehow not able to get something. Aurora cosmetics aren’t being tested anymore, so it’s also not the ‘goal’. It’s available again for the Encore Event testing, but sometimes bugs just happen.

[spark lance]

i just woke up and i still haven't been accepted... and the keys are done being sent out...

I just- I feel so left out now, and i'm not gonna even know if sky can run on my laptop until release

[dry ibex]

Not necessarily! If you met all the requirements, you should be able to run Sky on PC.

Besides they mentioned they’ll open invites on an as-need basis, so you might be able to get a key in the future

[spark lance]

BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY SPECS NOR WHERE TO FIND THEM 144HZ IS ALL I KNOW

[hearty gale]

Did you buy this IAP during Season of Aurora？ I think if you bought this IAP during Season of Aurora,no matter you got it or not ,won't be able to buy it again now

[dry ibex]

Oh.. well in that case I think it might have been good for now that you didn’t get the key!

For bug reporting, you have to state the specs of your laptop / computer.

Some specs you can just look up online when researching that specific laptop you have

[dry ibex]

No, the ones that got the bugged voice were able to get it again last year iirc! They changed it back then

[spark lance]

but... i just feel... bad that i wasn't chosen. everyone else gets to check out everything and get to experience beta on their computers, and i'm here still stuck on mobile.

[dry ibex]

That’s not true at all! I don’t know how many people got the key, but there are a loooooot of us that didn’t get in.

For reference: Of my beta friends, only 2 that I know got in

It was randomly selected, and maybe we’ll get it in the future!

[spark lance]

knowing my luck probably everyone i know in beta probably got in and i didn't

[dry ibex]

That’s one lucky friendgroup then

No worries, a lot of people applied. Next invite wave we get another change, besides beta pc testing is not for content, just for bugs!

[spark lance]

aaand my message got sent into the void. great.

i'm already sorta miserable this morning cause i was woken up early cuz of constant buzzing from the other room, and now i'm just even more bummed.

[dry ibex]

Im pretty sure you’ll be able to answer this if you look up all the required specs (like all of them).

It’s not a good idea to get a key just for checking if it runs, because you’ll know the answer to that if you check the specs

If you’d like, dm me and I can help you look it up!

[stray pulsar]

Welcome to my world.

[tulip crystal]

i was hoping to maybe get in the pc beta so i dont have to use my phone anymore since its old and has been making it harder for me to play its okay though there is always a next time

[quiet obsidian]

one day i’ll have my mac beta…. one day until then we die on a crunchy ipad 6th gen

[dry ibex]

Okay so watching memory candles gives server errors again but they changed it to something WAY BETTER NOW: it’s “view more of this player?”

[wide pike]

The pc beta must be really limited, considering how many people(myself included) didn't make it in.

[torpid arrow]

aww i didnt get into pc beta 😔 its okay still have ios beta to test

[trim spade]

Welcome 5 pc beta moths!

[dry ibex]

Huh, anyone else having trouble joining their friends?

[trim spade]

Sof you got in?

[warped geode]

guys have you received the pc invite or no?

[hybrid dust]

Nope, no invite

[dry ibex]

Noo sorry lol, i meant through mobile. Couldn't join someone I just added and then I tried with Chook, couldn't either but seems to be update issues

[trim spade]

Oof, maybe next time! I can’t tp to some friends myself, been having this issue since Moments began in beta 😔

[distant sky]

I received the invitation email, and then our company had a dinner party in the evening. I could have turned on my Steam immediately after work!

[odd lintel]

Sof pink name now

[dry ibex]

forgot i had a spare

[warped geode]

congrats!!!! i havent received mine...

[wanton yacht]

Sadly there wont be more sent out as of rn #beta-announcements message

[chrome ivy]

#beta-pc-windows-faq message "Steam keys will be sent on an as-needed basis" , If they need more tester's (Which unlikely but I still coping)

[ivory basalt]

Is it just me or are the aurora event candles so hard to find

[wanton yacht]

I said "as of rn" please i am aware

[hollow cape]

So sad I was so excited to test the beta pc version but I'll have to stuck with the android beta

[tall snow]

hi

[trim temple]

we're all helping out at least no need to be upset, live should be brought to pc soon enough

[rich pawn]

i was so exited cause my phone is acting crazy lately,sadly didn't get in sky pc 😭

[sly arch]

I already sign up for the PC Test version tho to my surprise, I didn't got an email

Are TGC still sending Invites out, or is just my mail haven't got it since they are sending a bulk of mails

[radiant drum]

#beta-announcements — all keys have been sent out!

[sly arch]

Huh. Let me check it again

[agile hazel]

It's a limited beta, only some people got it

[sly arch]

Oof

Wait, the keys are being send on a needed-basis. I should wait for a longer

[hollow cape]

Hopefully doesn't take more than 2 months i was already excited because my phone would finally rest but that will have to wait

[radiant drum]

It’s safe to assume that if they’re done sending invites, they have enough testers for the moment. You can grab the PC Beta Updates role in #beta-faq though to be notified of any potential announcements

[sly arch]

Alright. I do hope we can sign up again when TGC needed in the future.

[hollow cape]

Is the pc beta version going to also stay for further testing?

[sly arch]

We should get some WAFO and coffee.

[warped geode]

and some maple syrup

[sly arch]

Well, at least I can continue test on iOS.
iPad Storage: Your iPad is out of space. And no it's not your photos, you have iCloud+
sigh One moment please

[hybrid dust]

Gotta love when you got a lot of storage but the "system/other" storage block takes up like 60gb

[sly arch]

Why 32 GB was a good idea.

[hollow cape]

A yes the cache I hate it

[dry ibex]

If you need to clear cache on iOS, re-installing apps is the only way to go about it!

If you do, make sure your account is linked though

[strong sentinel]

I probably gotta do it sometime soon or star rail and genshin will eat up all the free space left on my ipad

[sly arch]

Not to mention Clock Video App and Apple Music takes a 1 GB and more (and BiliBili tho no one has that)
Also yes, Gacha Games... (cough GI and HSR) It's pain

[hollow cape]

Wish we could Uninstall the whole content like cutscenes dialogues and stuff like that one we are done with the missions and quest so we can save space

[strong sentinel]

I think they actually do that in gi now..? But it gets redownloaded for new account if you make one

[mighty locust]

I’ve no idea what or how to get the Steam key to get access to Sky PC beta help

[strong sentinel]

But I wish more manual control over my storage

[sly arch]

TGC did made a Form in their lastest announcement about the record breaking event. You can find it here

Or just say "How do I get Sky Beta PC" and
Uh... Skybot where are you

[mighty locust]

@gilded parrot

[strong sentinel]

!betapc

[sly arch]

OK here

[undone laurel]

hey guys is tgc will give more keys to access pc beta?

[sly arch]

Also to redeem the Key, you go to Steam Settings -> Library -> Activate a Product and enter the key there

Oh and no, you can't activate thru Steam Mobile App

[dry ibex]

Read #beta-announcements and #beta-pc-windows-faq - invites are opened on an as-need basis

[sly arch]

When they have more WAFO.
Can you run to a store and get some Maple Surup and some Milk?

[burnt creek]

Nooo i didn't get the email

Damn why am i always so unlucky with this kinda stuff 😅

Anyways congrats for everyone who got access and happy testing!

[worthy locust]

Hopefully full release soon

[dry ibex]

It's not unfair; testers were chosen randomly, so everyone had a fair chance. If TGC needs more pc-testers, they'll open invites again

[hybrid dust]

It was completely random, lots of people here didn't get it. How long we've been waiting doesn't matter

[sly arch]

Oh wait #beta-pc-windows-faq

[dry ibex]

To get back on beta testing: anyone else experiencing server errors after interacting with social spells?

[burnt creek]

That's true, i mean, im sad i didn't get it but that's just how things work, i'm kinda always unlucky with this stuff so i was not expecting much

[real basin]

lul

[hybrid dust]

It's basically the same thing as mobile, just adapted to work on pc. So it's only a couple gb (according to the steam page)

[sly arch]

Yeah that's not only Beta. A lot people complained in Live as well. A person in IG made a 10 page Story about this and complaining it's not playable.

The problem to fix this and IK, this is dumb... Press the Cancel button. It actually fix things

[brave grove]

PC version is pretty much a 1:1 port with keyboard + Mouse controls, and a few odd bugs
Do wish the graphics menu was a bit better.

[sly arch]

I just check before the edited message came. It's 3 GB.

My PC Storage: I LIVE AGAIN!!!!!

[burnt creek]

Also it's better that the testing is more closed so it's easier for TGC to read all feedback, i understand everyone is curious but the priority right now is specifically the testing so everything can be playable for the testing booths on GamesCon and for the official PC Release

[dry ibex]

We are a patch & several builds ahead of Live right now. I'm asking because the server error problems with social spells were fixed in beta in the last few builds, but today they seemed to reappear when I was checking out the new UI.

[sly arch]

Let me go check. Just to be sure it's either the same or different bug

[stray pulsar]

i didnt got it lololol

[sly arch]

@dry ibex Yeah maybe that's your part.

[dry ibex]

Oh lol! Okay strange, it was after I added someone new too

[sly arch]

Maybe I can get some WAFO and Maple Syrup for you. Oh and WHERE THE MILK

[lusty pecan]

Hello guys, I’ve already had a beta account on my phone, and I just got the key access to steam today. I used the exact same email in my phone to create steam account, but when I sign in on PC, my old account doesn’t show up and they asked me to create a new account instead. Is it a bug or we can’t play the same account with the phone?

[sly arch]

Are you new thing?

If you have link your Beta account to Steam then you should able to login there by pressing no and login
As long you don't choose Local account and choose Steam (if there's a choose account thing)

The place to link your Steam account is the same
Settings -> Account -> Steam (Scroll Down to find it) and link it

[lusty pecan]

I see, I haven’t linked on my phone yet. I thought just need to create a Steam account with the same email as the mail I used for Sky phone. Thank you

[radiant drum]

Make sure to check out #beta-pc-windows-faq

[unborn root]

PC can run at 120 fps...
Why not Playstation 5 and current high end cell phones?

[stray pulsar]

sure

[dry ibex]

The graphics update is recent though. We’ll probably get that in Live once it’s finished testing in beta

[unborn root]

I know
I mean having this on mobile and PS5

[sly arch]

Currently is on Beta. You need to wait for the Update to Live. Make sure to have the right TV/Display to run it and check your PS5 and TV settings for it.

[dry ibex]

Afaik iPhone 13 Pro and 14 pro can have it, as well as some iPads. Idk if we can play beta on PS4/5

[unborn root]

Another question: For those who are playing on the PC, is it possible to use the mouse as a camera controller?

[sly arch]

iPads from 2018 and Later and Pro Models of the iPhone 13 and 14 can run 120 fps, I'm not sure about Android (Like the Nothing Phone (2))

[unborn root]

Android would be Snapdragon 8 gen 1 or 2 to run at 120fps

[sly arch]

Oh... Ouch Older Android devices.
I think other Android like Pixels with 120 FPS display can tho testing is needed

[next sundial]

Yep! The mouse/trackpad controls the camera by default. If you want to use it as a cursor, you have to click shift

[sly arch]

Why not Alt /j
Sorry, I'm used to GI and HSR Control Scheme

[unborn root]

Thank you!

[next sundial]

I'm actually super relieved it's shift, if it were alt for my keyboard my fingers would be breaking 😭

[sly arch]

I see

@dry ibex got the Server Error Message. Yeah, um... It's actually the same error as the one you said. Tho I did press the Cancel button and it seems to go away.

Yeah same bug as Live has.

Does anyone know how much AURORA Tickets can we get during the event?

[dry ibex]

Aurora Ticket guide & Info by Cy: #beta-discussion message

[unborn root]

Now a question from the century about the pc version: Does the recording mode hide the hud?

[hollow cape]

Why the record option doesn't work on android

[unborn root]

The new android version had some changes with google play games

[hollow cape]

Then that means the record option will never work on Android :(?

[remote ocean]

Hi! Is it possible to change keyboard layout? I read the WASD controls the character rather than the arrows

[sly arch]

Thanks.

Oh btw Tester, I seen the Bug Reports. You guys don't need to write "Windows" in the version part. That Part should be Automatically be filled in there. Just write the either 10 or 11 depending on what you're running.
IDK if needed since Windows Updates doesn't break things (for me at least) but just incase maybe includes OS Build Number as well. You can find it in Winver.

[unborn root]

Unfortunately not, at least if TGC does something about it, it will only be able to record with the cell phone's native recorder or using a third-party app

[hollow cape]

That's sad cuz I don't like that the UI show when I record with the record that comes with my phone

[sly arch]

Or the No-UI Recorder in iOS (and Android in CN version for China players that are testing Global version are wondering)

[hollow cape]

China players get the best stuff sometimes

[unborn root]

It has some screen recorders that you can control just by the notification, and the google play games recorder was very limited

[sly arch]

Yeah and it's sad for me to be the only Global Enjoyer. Some of my friends have it but... they not active. Except for one when I ask them

[hollow cape]

And when it was available the Google record always record the front camera that's horrible

[remote socket]

Option to hide UI on pc would be very nice

[hollow cape]

They should implement a hide UI option on all platforms

[next sundial]

Sorry it took so long to respond, PC doesnt seem to have a recording mode, as far as I can tell. We can take screenshots, but the video icon seems to be missing

[remote socket]

True

[hollow cape]

I find odd that the 120fps option is not available in Android even with strong snapdragon processors

[sly arch]

Well the closest thing we can get is OBS, while you can't hide UI, Combine with CapCut on PC or if you can, use Adobe Programs or DaVinci. You can actually crop that part out

[remote socket]

You can record on PC with OBS or Nvidia shadowplay, UI will be visible tho

[unborn root]

If you know how to configure it, you can disable recording from the front camera
which cell phone do you use?

[hollow cape]

Note 20 Ultra

[sly arch]

You can also Record if you have Game Bar and Game DVR Enabled.

Shortcut Key: Windows + Alt + R or Press Windows + G or Xbox Button and click the Record button

[next sundial]

I meant purely from the game, no third party useage. But actually thank you I'll look into that <3

[past fiber]

Another update, huh?

[sly arch]

Plus Windows 11 users can use the Snipping Tool to Capture Video.
(You need to open the App to use the record function)

[remote socket]

From my experience shadowplay and obs have best quality plus with shadowplay i can capture last few minutes like on ps4

[unborn root]

The samsung recorder is a little limited but you can change the recording resolution and audio to record only the sound of the cell phone and not your voice.

[remote socket]

Recorders built into games are usually bad so i perfer obs or shadowplay

[hollow cape]

It's worth the try at least it's a bit better than struggling with the Google record option

[hybrid dust]

It's likely because apple devices are a lot easier to optimize for as they only have their own hardware lines and architecture to optimize for, whereas android devices have a huge spectrum of different processor types and architecture

[unborn root]

About the keyboards...
There are some keyboards that are different from each other
I wonder if it has compatibility with different keyboards

[sly arch]

I do use OBS since it's the quickest way to record and Stream. Tho Game Bar is the quickest if I need to make quick recording.

I could make OBS run on Start but I already have enough Bloat on my PC make to this anyway and also I'm lazy

[unborn root]

Good luck with that and it's worth a try!

[hollow cape]

I hope they improve the graphics settings button

[sly arch]

I actually wondering about Ghost Keys. Since if you know, you can't press more than 3 keys in certain area which if the music sheet you play (fan made ones not in-game ones) is gonna be challenging.

Did see the reports in #beta-bugs-windows-pc but that's seems to be Hardware Limitations, not game limitations

Mac, PC and Linux are suffer from this

[remote socket]

Thats why i use shadowplay mostly, just like gamebar i quickly open ingame overlay and record or when playing multiplayer with friends i set shadowplay to record last few minutes and if something funny happens i can just save last few mins

[remote socket]

Gaming keyboard can solve this issue 🙂

[sly arch]

Yeah, my Ryzen 5 (5th gen Laptop CPU) doesn't want more bloat here.

It hates me enough with countless Windows reinstalls, 5 in total

[remote socket]

I gave up on laptops long time ago, currently using desktop with intel i9 10900k and two rtx 3090 (two just because i do lots of 3D rendering)

[sly arch]

That's if people can actually get up and buy it, or get a DIY one.
Some people like Laptop users would use the Built-in Keyboard.

[hollow cape]

I actually kinda expected a graphic improvement in the pc version but so far it seems like it's the same

[remote socket]

Yeah, if using laptop then youre just stuck with built in keyboard unless you want to use external

[sly arch]

searching with a Bluetooth Logitech Keyboard How do I get a Gaming Keyboard with good enough Switch

[hybrid dust]

What's the graphics menu like on pc atm, is it any different from the mobile menu? (Presuming you have it from what you said)

[hollow cape]

I don't have access but the only difference is that there's an extra option to set the framerate limit from 30 to 120

[remote socket]

I have not recieved invite but from what i have seen it supports higher resolution at up to 120fps

[hybrid dust]

Interesting, would be nice to be able to uncap that for higher-end PC's

[hollow cape]

And no one will the invites are over sadly :(

[remote socket]

Yeah

[hybrid dust]

If I bought the 165Hz I'm gonna use all the Hz

[sly arch]

I do plan to get something like a Mini-PC or Build a Small Form-factor one. As long I have the money.
Tho something with a good enough graphics to render 3D and videos, animations, streaming and play some games is something I would use.
Other hobbiest thing like VM and Android Subsystem stuff are also fine but I do that less.

I'm kinda interested of the Teenage Engineer PC Case. It's a small one that you can Carry. Something I need if I want if I do move to somewhere else like Canada and study abroad

[remote socket]

Im just wonering how much my two rtx 3090 setup could push uncapped lol

[hybrid dust]

At least 3fps for sure

I'm also wondering the same for my 6600xt, it may not be best of the best but I do only play at 1080p so

[worthy locust]

240hz would be cool, but 120 is nice too. I think PS5 is 4k/60hz so that and PC are probably going to be equally nice in terms of visual fidelity.

[hollow cape]

Well considering the minimum is a gt1030 it should be enough

[sly arch]

PS5 can go to 120 but that's said, we still need to wait for an update. And even if that's out. We need to see if the TV or Display can run 120.

[remote socket]

Lol 🙂

[hollow cape]

I need to update my old graphics card im considering getting an rtx2070 super

[hybrid dust]

Pc (at least high-end ones) will likely be the best platform for sky's fidelity/framerate combined since they're not really bound by cost/form-factor/cooling limitations

[remote socket]

If you like setting up virtual machines and working with 3D graphics get as much ram as you can (and gpu with a lot of vram if you intend to render large 3D scenes)

I have 64gb ram and few VM serves like to eat up a lot of it

And each of my two 3090 have 24gb vram cause rendering large scenes with gpu renderer like vray quickly takes up a lot of it

[analog bramble]

PC only 60fps

[hollow cape]

Emm no pc can go up to 120fps

[hybrid dust]

Maybe it scales depending on hardware like it does for mobile?

[analog bramble]

It's still 60.

[remote socket]

PC beta goes up to 120

[woeful flint]

PC goes up to 120hz, you need a 120hz monitor to see it (source im on pc beta)

[hollow cape]

What do you mean with that it's not 60 120 fps it's a huge difference

[next sundial]

are you changing the FPS or the resolution? FPS goes up to 120, whereas the resolution setting only says 60

[analog bramble]

Maybe my monitor is 60.

[brave grove]

I'm getting 120FPs, even with my current messing around with reshade.
Which is cursed in this game.

[woeful flint]

Yeah you would need a 120hz monitor to see 120hz, 60hz will only give 60hz

[hybrid dust]

Yeah it may be limiting FPS for some PCs depending on hardware configuration and/or monitor refresh rate, like it kinda does for mobile

[analog bramble]

Where is the screenshot?

[remote socket]

You need 120hz or more display to actually see 120fps

[hollow cape]

Regardless most games allow you to increase the framerate even if your monitor doesn't support it

[remote socket]

And also set the refresh rate in windows to your screens refresh rate cause windows defaults to 60

[analog bramble]

Did you find where the screenshot ?

[next sundial]

Do you mean a screenshot just showing the max settings it can go to?

[remote socket]

I think they are asking where screenshots taken in game are saved.

I dont know cause i was not invited to beta

[hybrid dust]

If you're asking where screenshots get saved to, maybe to steam screenshots on your sky's page in your game library? Or to your pictures folder on file explorer?

[woeful flint]

#beta-screenshots-videos message suffice?

[hollow cape]

It would be great if the game asked you where you want to save the screeshots

[narrow basin]

I wish tgc could add those settings in other platforms so those with higher specs (specially android) could freely choose which fps they want to be in 😥

[analog bramble]

Hold down the shift mouse and click

But I can't find where to save the screenshot.

[woeful flint]

Welp, that might be an issue for PC players, I just took a camera shot in game and idk where it saved in windows, dug around the game files and nothin

[next sundial]

^ I'm still digging around, it's not in Steam either

[hollow cape]

Maybe is in the folders picture from windows idk

[remote socket]

Check your user folder or documents folder, i had some games create their screenshots folder there

[brave grove]

Its not in the games appdata folder either weird. Nor Pictures.

[narrow basin]

Hello Kev. Is it okay to borrow your pic so I could send it as demo to devs for a feedback about the graphic settings? this pic you send #beta-screenshots-videos message

[woeful flint]

feel free!

[spark lance]

i need to stop looking in this chat cause i keep getting more and more jealous

[narrow basin]

thank you so muchhh

[hollow cape]

I feel you lets cry together

[remote socket]

What about user folder, document folder or steams screenshots folder.

Maybe its a bug and its not even saving

[woeful flint]

i dont think it is saving but im switching from steam os to windows to see if that makes a difference

[brave grove]

I checked User/Pictures, User/Documents, and my only steam screenshot is the one I took using the Steam hotkey.

[hollow cape]

Maybe the in built screenshots are not working rn

[remote socket]

User/games?

[next sundial]

Problem is I cant even find a folder it would save in

[ember cedar]

Does anyone know what safe area do in the graphics settings?

[brave grove]

If there is one, my windows account ain't got one.

[hollow cape]

Safe area?

[woeful flint]

they are supposed to make the borders wider or taller if the game is not fitting in the screen- im not sure if it's working imo

[remote socket]

Maybe its a bug and its not saving anywhere, worth bug reporting in that case

[brave grove]

Definitely. or alteast it should be more clear where its putting them.

[hollow cape]

Is the framerate stable in areas like sanctuary Island?

[remote socket]

Thats gonna depend on your hardware

[woeful flint]

i havent dipped below 60FPS at 2K on my steam deck (4K drops to like ~49fps in some areas)

[hollow cape]

Good to hear so the framerate issues are going to be less in pc

[hybrid dust]

Is this on max graphics?

[brave grove]

I've been keeping a decent 120 on my 1080ti. But I've only reached the 2nd area. ||got distracted with some graphical stuff||

[ember cedar]

Will the recording feature in sky pc beta come soon cause I noticed there was no recording icon

[remote socket]

Use OBS or Nvidia shadowplay if you have nvidia gpu

[hybrid dust]

2k60 with max graphics on a handheld is damn good fr

[brave grove]

AMD also has a similar feature I think.

[remote socket]

I think so, idk what its called

[hollow cape]

A RTX 2070 super is a good option?

[woeful flint]

after doing some digging in windows files, i got nothing on in game screenshots other than using window's snipping tool/OBS (or other apps), but it's beta\

[remote socket]

Probably as apperently even steamdeck runs it great

[woeful flint]

in the evening i'll hop on my hubby's 4070 and do some testing for yall

[hollow cape]

Ohh I'm asking because I'm thinking on getting that one not just for sky because I had really bad experience with AMD graphics cards in the past

[remote socket]

Must be a bug, report it if you can

[hybrid dust]

You mean like buying one rn or if you already have it? If you already have it then yeah it'll run just fine, if you're buying I'd probably recommend looking around for something newer that may be similarly priced before considering older cards in general (unless you're getting it super cheap). Not really the best place to ask for pc recommendations if you're asking abt buying tho

[brave grove]

Steam also can take screenshots, and has an option for uncompressed images.

[woeful flint]

2070 not bad, still decent card today

[remote socket]

Imo its still a decent GPU

[woeful flint]

yeah i was using that for some, but i wanted to see if the built in one for UI less screenshots works, but its likely a bug us pc beta players will need to report

[undone mirage]

wait is Pc beta out yet?

[hollow cape]

Yes but only for a select few

[woeful flint]

Yes #beta-announcements TL;DR: all keys have been sent out last night, a random selection!

[remote socket]

I see waaay too many people in bug reports chann who have hardware waaay below minimum specs and the form even asks you if you meet the minimum and some people still signed up despite not meeting minimum specs

some even with ancient CPUs that do not support AVX2 and without avx2 game wont even run

Waste of keys imho

[hollow cape]

Yeah I only signed because I have specs better than the minimum sadly people signed just to see what will happen

[remote socket]

Same, im way above min

[undone mirage]

You get them though email right?

[hybrid dust]

At the end of the day if TGC feels they have enough useful testers then it is what it is

[hollow cape]

Probably 60% are just wasted keys sadly

[woeful flint]

hopefully this means pc live is closer than we think

[undone mirage]

*me not remebering what email I put in the sky form

[remote socket]

Yeah, cpus without avx2, too old intel hd graphics iGPUs and ancient cpus

[hollow cape]

Hopefully but the post said the opposite that pc is in very early stages

[worthy locust]

I think TGC said they'll be demoing the Steam version at Gamescom so hopefully official launch in time for next season

[narrow mason]

Has there been any device specific packs for PC yet?

[brave grove]

It needs a bit more ironed out, but it's decently good so far.
I do hope for a better graphics menu down the road. But that's not a deal breaker right now

[hybrid dust]

I doubt there would be, PC is just a type of device in reality, nothing like Nintendo or Sony which have their own ecosystems to promote

[brave grove]

Device packs?

[remote socket]

Probably not but i was hoping it would come out in time for aurora encore concerts, i wanna experience those in 120fps, back when it was open to everybody during aurora season my ps4 was running at like 20fps during songs with many people

[dreamy lintel]

Can yall help me list out all the foods that exist in Sky?

I made one:
Dumpling
British biscuits
Picnic cookie
Marshmellow

Japanese tea
British tea
Boiled tea

[hollow cape]

I hoped that they asked for your pc specs when you signed so only people that meets the minimum or higher requirements got in

[agile hazel]

Tab and E functions should be swapped around on the keyboard

[hybrid dust]

Considering they said gamescon (which is around when encore will be happening) would be first public hands-on demo, I doubt it

[undone mirage]

Cake , pizza , cupcakes and LIGHT nom nom nom thats all i know xD

[woeful flint]

they did not in the forms, they sent the specs and hoped people would be truthful and answer with honesty, though the specs were confusing for a lot of people so likely those signed up without thinking it would run or not

[brave grove]

Key rebinding in general needs to be added.

[next sundial]

I'm not even using Tab much, you can right click to change flight modes too. I find that way far more comfortable tbh

[remote socket]

It was literally just yes no question and people dont care and just pressed yes even with below minimum hardware

[worthy locust]

I dont think most people know their specs they just want in

[hollow cape]

Exactly TGC should have been a little more strict not just trust people

[exotic wigeon]

so they're letting people with incorrect specs make bug reports....how will they know what are bugs and what are issues due to graphics?

[remote socket]

Yeah 😦

[undone mirage]

What dose the Key look like???

[brave grove]

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
But with actual letters and numbers. In an Email with the subject Sky PC Beta.

[remote socket]

Yup, they should have made everyone enter the specs in the form and then reject those who do not meet minimum instead of just asking if you meet minimum, they were checking submitted forms and sending keys manually anyway

[hybrid dust]

To be fair, on one hand it could be more realistic to test this way considering that when live launches there's always bound to be people trying to play games regardless of specs. At least some of those people have actually been bug reporting too, but on the other hand whether the reports from those specs have any value to beta testing considering the game technically isn't made for their devices in the first place, idk if it works for TGC then it's cool

[remote socket]

Yup.... the point of listing minimum for beta in signup form and asking if you meet it was probably to avoid bug reports caused by incompatible hardware

[hollow cape]

I would agree but minimum specs are there for something the game is meant to be played on those hardwares not anything below that

[untold cradle]

I really hope it's like that cause like...
I know what my spec is but still don't know if it meet the "qualified" spec

[remote socket]

The signup form specifficly asked if you meet the minimum, those who answered no probably got auto rejected but many who were below minimum probably answered yes anyway

[hollow cape]

I wonder how many people who don't meet the minimum requirements said yes and got accepted

[remote socket]

Yeah...

[brave grove]

Probably a good amount, some might be able to play just fine. Depends on how bad off they are.

[hollow cape]

Yeah sadly this stuff always happens

[remote socket]

In bug reports channel i have seen some mentioning black screens and listed specs showing waay to old integrated gpu and some who say game wont even launch and listed specs show old cpu that doesnt support AVX2

[hollow cape]

Oof that's really bad fr

[brave grove]

Random side question. Does the Beta use Vulkan or DirectX 12?

[hollow cape]

Probably openGL

[vernal turtle]

The black screen one was me. I looked up my specs and I thought I would be okay, though, since I looked up my graphics and it said that my graphics card is decently comparable to the recommended graphics. But if Google lied to me, then I wouldn't be surprised

[remote socket]

They listed both dx12 and vulkan in beta signup form, msi afterburner and rtss can tell you which api its using if you are in beta

[vernal turtle]

Only problem is I can't afford to get it replaced

[remote socket]

Which gpu is yours exactly

[vernal turtle]

Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe

[hybrid dust]

Sounds like newer intel integrated graphics?

[hollow cape]

Integrated graphics

[remote socket]

Yeah, integrated

While it is comparable to 1030 its drivers probably suck like with most integrated gpus

Did you at least get the black screen solved, tried updating drivers maybe?

[remote socket]

I doubt, minimim specs asked for dx12 and vulkan

[vernal turtle]

Idk how to do that, could you maybe show me how? I tried bug reporting it but only because I don't know what else I could do

Worth noting that I'm not overly tech savvy, at least not anymore

[hollow cape]

If you right click on the desktop it should show the intel graphics panel and you can update from there

Or just search intel in the windows search bar

[remote socket]

Try looking up on intels website or if its a laptop search for your laptops model on manufacturer website and see if there are newer drivers

[remote socket]

I forgot about intels panel, havent used intel integrated gpus for over 10 years lol

[vernal turtle]

Also, is this for Windows 10 or Windows 11? Mine's an 11

[ancient ermine]

It's unfortunate to say but did not make it in 😔 everyone who did have fun!! :>

[dreamy lintel]

Is Jenova in skycord???

[chrome ivy]

If
the game can run, Run.
else
no

[remote socket]

Beta should run on both 10 and 11

[vernal turtle]

No, I mean, the steps for troubleshooting that y'all gave me

[remote socket]

Yeah, should be same on both

Good luck

[storm escarp]

I wonder how does the game look on the library, what banner and stuff they used...something season inspired...or just kinda default sky stuff...since its beta I am betting more towards the 2nd one

[vernal turtle]

...It actually has none of that unfortunately, no banner or game image. It's just blank

[storm escarp]

Ah

I wanted some action, this game art is so beautiful ;-;

Welp, time to wait for the next wave of keys I guess

[hollow cape]

There probably won't be another wave of keys :<

[storm escarp]

We will always have hope

[hybrid dust]

Keyword being "probably", nobody knows

[storm escarp]

I don't know how many keys they sent, maybe a 100?

[hollow cape]

Well let's hope they do another wave of keys but asking you to say your pc specs

[storm escarp]

I mean, on the form they did ask if you met the requirements, if someone lied it's just kinda...yea

[hollow cape]

Yeah but if is mandatory to specify your specs they will choose people who actually would be able to run and test the game

[storm escarp]

Truuuue, that's fair

[hollow cape]

Because some of the people who got selected has very old processors and graphics card

[iron elbow]

but then they would have to manually check thousands of submissions :/

[hollow cape]

Well they had to do it manually since they were sending the keys manually

[iron elbow]

the selection itself was completely randomized

[hollow cape]

But they need to review the thing before sending a key

[ashen tusk]

let's move on from speculating about people lying about specs to get in - from what we've seen so far of pc beta what do you guys think? I'm used to playing on my ipad but I might give pc sky a go when it launches officially

[hollow cape]

So far I'm kinda disappointed with the pc port but it's so early in development so I hope they upgrade it

[storm escarp]

How I think it worked is they randomly selected someone from the form, then checked everything was answered accordingly, then just shipped the key if everything was ok

[ashen tusk]

ah what are you disappointed with at the moment? remember to leave feedback even if you're not testing on it if you see some things you think could be different tgc would probably still want to know!

[spark lance]

That's right, because I looked at my computer data specifically for the application, and everything fit well, and it's so sad that I didn't get the key...

[hollow cape]

Most with how simple the graphics menu is just 2 buttons is not enough because what if you don't like motion blur or stuff like that you can't disable them

[storm escarp]

You probably didn't get selected on the initial random roll, remember, just meeting the requirements doesn't give you a pass for the beta

[vernal turtle]

That's more of a matter of Sky's general lack of accessibility features tbh, doesn't really have anything to do with the PC port itself

[ashen tusk]

Ah you worded it better than I was trying to AB! We definitely lack that on other platforms still, but it would be good to see in any case!

[hollow cape]

Well they should work on that because that's something I would expect from a game on pc be able to customize every graphic setting

[ashen tusk]

I'd love to see bigger UI or like more proportionate? The emote menu icons were all pretty small and even if there was a way to adjust it to suit our preferences cause I'm sure some wouldn't want it taking up more room, but I just feel like it could be a touch larger, even just having them scrollable like on other platforms so they can have bigger icon sizes

[cursive spear]

so question for the people who got the pc beta, is there still a chance to get into the pc beta (in my case, get the email) or has that already passed?

[vernal turtle]

I just tried this, the game still gives me a black screen. Like the game is running and I can hear the sounds of the Home space and AURORA, but it's just pitch black

[ashen tusk]

Stellify announced they finished sending out all emails so if you didn't get an email then you won't get in. There could be future opportunities, but nothing is confirmed so just keep an eye on the usual announcement channels to see if we'll have anymore pc invites later

[cursive spear]

alright, thanks anyways though!

[hollow cape]

Something I truly wish is an option to adjust the brightness of the game that should be at least available sometimes I feel like I'm looking directly into the sun

[karmic plover]

What we sent out was the first planned wave. There may be more depending on what we feel we need to do.

[ashen tusk]

Whirthun hello!

[narrow basin]

will there be a chance that androids with high specs could also have a 120 fps?

[cursive spear]

👍

[hollow cape]

Hopefully in a couple updates

[left quest]

Whirthun jumpscare (SCARY!!!!) (3 AM!!!!)

[karmic plover]

Hello! The team was up late getting out invites so I've come to keep you all company in their stead. Bear in mind I'm mostly on the event planning side these days so I may have less great answers than they would.

[hollow cape]

But any answer is better than not having them

[left quest]

Y’all are the ones who need the sneep snorp more than we do

[narrow basin]

Awww it's alright. But what do you think? (in your internal insights 🫣)

[karmic plover]

I think I'd really like a cheeseburger, but it's unfortunately only 9:24AM so it's too early for one - in my professional expertise

[narrow basin]

[hybrid dust]

Professionalism is a social construct. Be free. Eat all the burgers at 9am

[sudden pine]

It’s never to early for cheeseburgers

[ashen tusk]

I haven't seen many moths around with the invites, is that cause some folks were already in beta and just hopped across or maybe just smol group rather than the hefty waves we've seen in the past for iOS and Android

[left quest]

I had a cheeseburger at 2 am one time, I can agree with this.

[sudden pine]

(Alternatively please all enjoy some good coffee)

[karmic plover]

This was definitely a much smaller invite wave than we've done for iOS/Android.

[hybrid dust]

4am McDonald's trip? Don't mind if I do

[coarse lynx]

A friend of mine said he would only play sky if it came out on steam so I am thrilled to know progress is happening

[obsidian plover]

Someone get them in-N-out burger asap!

[agile hazel]

Have you heard the great news of 227673? It's only the most update we've ever had

[ashen tusk]

How are you and the rest of the team feeling about the pc launch? I was saying just yesterday how cool it is to see Sky developing and unfolding but I'll bet it's even cooler being on the dev side of things and seeing it ready to reach a whole new audience

[narrow basin]

there are sooo many implemented and UNEXPECTED changes in this build aaaaa

[hybrid dust]

I wonder if/what platforms sky could make it to next. Any news on the Samsung smart fridge port?

[vernal turtle]

Hello, Whirthun! If it's not too much trouble, is there a chance I could get some help with my PC Beta situation?

[karmic plover]

It's exciting! We're looking forward to a whole bunch of new folks being able to enjoy Sky. I'm also personally excited for a true keyboard experience.

[obsidian plover]

I am excited to max out the settings and see how much usage it takes! 😄

[karmic plover]

I can definitely try! What's up?

[lucid warren]

hihi beta chat, update on the stuff from last night
dad told me my computer specs were maxed out on my motherboard, but he said he'll figure something out for me

[vernal turtle]

So basically, my laptop meets all the requirements for Sky (I looked it up), but when I try to boot up the game on Steam, the TGC logo appears briefly and I hear game sounds and can press buttons to interact and stuff, but the screen is just pitch black. I just tried updating my graphics drivers and still nothing. Idk what to do

[clear walrus]

hello whirthun, will there be another wave of pc beta invites soon?

[hollow cape]

Sometimes integrated graphics aren't for anything else than just showing the image in your screen and small task maybe that's happening here or idk

[dry ibex]

If you scroll up juuuust a bit, you can find Whirthun’s answer: #beta-discussion message

[hybrid dust]

They said earlier that the earlier wave was the first planned waved and they'll do more if they need more testers

[coarse lynx]

this is the kind of problem beta tests are for ya

[karmic plover]

Yeah, that's not super surprising at this point. Honestly, it'd be great to get more info about your specs to #beta-bugs-windows-pc so that we can investigate. No immediate solution though. Sorry!

[vernal turtle]

That's okay! I appreciate the answer nonetheless I already bug reported it last night but should I report it again?

[karmic plover]

Nope! If you reported it once, that's plenty assuming you put in all of the relevant details. Thank you for your service o7

[ashen tusk]

AB helping to fix pc beta one black screen at a time

[coarse lynx]

maybe we will have some silly problems like
invisible moths

[left quest]

Days of Mischief came early

[hybrid dust]

We love it when the game does a silly

[storm escarp]

Can't wait for the second wave, will I have more luck? Or will I get ded hit with a rock like at Eden?

[obsidian plover]

or both XD

[hollow cape]

Well depens how silly I hate when it gets so silly when im in the middle of eden :")

[hybrid dust]

It'll likely be completely random again so no telling, plus that's considering if another one actually happens or not

[storm escarp]

If I get on the pc beta I don't care getting smacked at the start of Eden

[clear walrus]

if it’s random again i’ll be out again 😭😭 i have no luck

[storm escarp]

Always have faith

[hollow cape]

Same my luck is horrible

[hybrid raft]

I saw there was a little bit of talk about more customization of graphics options for PC Is that something you think that could actually happen or not really since it’s not available on other platforms? I might think about writing feedback since I play a lot of PC games with various display settings you can pick from, but I’m not sure if that’s what they’re trying to focus on right now so i’m not sure if i should

[grave niche]

Put me in the group of bad luck too

[hollow cape]

Any feedback is good

[brave grove]

plus the beta is also over the User Interface (and other things). So talking about the options would fall under that.

[hybrid raft]

(cracks knuckles) here we go then. thank you guys!

[storm escarp]

Indeed

[hybrid dust]

Is everyone starting to put random build numbers in their names now after the 227673 ordeal

[grave niche]

Either way, the PC version will be nice to play on.
It'll be weird playing on a consistent high frame rate since I'm used to Switch

[sudden pine]

Anyone remember our favorite build 222223?

[hollow cape]

Oof switch probably has the most unstable framerate I ever seen its so bad

[coarse lynx]

it's mostly the area you're in thankfully

[grave niche]

I'm used to it at least.
If anything, it gets weird having high framerate in the memories, haha

[storm escarp]

What happened yesterday was hilarious

[hollow cape]

Well that and idk if it's just me but when I open a menu in switch my game lags a lot

[coarse lynx]

Same

[hybrid dust]

Our silliness summoned sagomay hi

[frosty trout]

Hey all! I'm going to be making some posts pinging the beta updates and PC updates roles in a bit for folks who missed the last 227623 12+ hours of beta excitement in the chat channels. No updates to download or anything, just extra pings for you to collect

[left quest]

We were so close to 222222 😔

[storm escarp]

101329, The superior one

[grave niche]

Even if I'm not in the next update, I hope the next build number becomes weirdly significant again

[obsidian plover]

227623 is the true build, 101329 is a lie

[sudden pine]

This is what I get for ….sleeping I guess

[hybrid dust]

227673 is the build™

[hollow cape]

Maybe is a dumb question but why most of the map is rendered even if we cannot see it like stuff underground and similar

[storm escarp]

That's a baby build, 2017 was a better year for Sky

[dry ibex]

Doot notes!!

One very noticeable thing in the last build was the change for social spells. The “view more of this player?”-prompt feels way more Sky-like!

—> but the server errors when interacting with social spells are back!

[grave niche]

Pffft, y'all sleeping on the classic that is 171755
also I was asleep too during that whole thing. Didn't even know a pc beta was happening until I woke up after it was done

[storm escarp]

How old is 227673? 12 hours? 101329 is almost 6 years old

[steep cobalt]

i would love to be in the next round of beta testing for PC

[hollow cape]

227673 never gets old 227673 is eternal

[obsidian plover]

gasp
why don't you update to 146282 then eh?
clearly you don't appreciate 227673 enough to embrace it

[storm escarp]

I liked awaiting the lights

[grave niche]

I bet when the next build comes, you're just gonna switch to that.

[hollow cape]

We will switch to the 227673 update of course

[brave grove]

Yes. 227673 is nice, but I want the center of my screen to be clean.

[karmic plover]

I'm becoming slightly concerned that you all are forming a cult around 227673

[storm escarp]

Why don't let a droid switch it through a station on an iostream?

[coarse lynx]

227673 sounds meaningful and important

[obsidian plover]

227673 is the best build ever
you all put so much work into it, and it should be appreciated as such 😄

[hybrid dust]

Forming as in present tense? It's already happened

[grave niche]

171755 has 2 of 3 numbers

[hollow cape]

Si

[storm escarp]

I still loved more awaiting the light tho ;-;

[sudden pine]

Wait when the heck did we get a tinfoil hat emote?!?!

[storm escarp]

[sudden pine]

(Possibly the best weird Al song?)

[hybrid dust]

I thought it was a shark fin hat at first, or some funky paper boat hat thing

[grave niche]

Nah, wizard hat

[sudden pine]

It is a surprisingly well made hat

[carmine thorn]

i'm so sorry for question but about which form talking about in beta invites chanel?

[hybrid dust]

There was an application posted awhile ago in #news

[dry ibex]

All information in the blogpost you can find here: #news message

[grave niche]

Don't have the link on hand unfortunately, but there was a sign up form somewhere. I'll see if I can find it

[carmine thorn]

there is was talking about aviary project? (sorry i'm really confused now)

[dry ibex]

I linked you the post in #news, 2 messages above :’)

[lucid warren]

the beta invites are to test out the sky pc beta in general, afaik aviary hasn't been released to the beta yet

[spice mason]

Praise be the balding fix . It makes my favorite outfit a little hard to look at in live

[carmine thorn]

OW THANKS!!

[rare carbon]

how

[grave niche]

Nice

[delicate shuttle]

will there be any new pc testing waves?? or it's just a dream

[alpine junco]

most likely

[craggy elbow]

if anything we will have the aviary realm in normal beta, pc beta is just what it is, sky running on your pc

[storm escarp]

There will probably be

[hollow cape]

Is there any plans to give a list of compatible processors with the 120fps option I have an snapdragon 865 so I was wondering if it would be enough

[haughty raptor]

Read #beta-signup-info they posted something about it

[hybrid raft]

sky at 120fps on my laptop: the fans turn into a jet plane and i take off

[delicate shuttle]

👁️ 👁️ hmmmmm

[storm escarp]

Sky at 120 fps on my pc, my pc gets wacked by a rock

[delicate shuttle]

SAGO ID TYPING IN BETA UPDATES

[carmine thorn]

excuse me, i'm just full the form and i don't know what is discord UID.

[obsidian plover]

I wouldn't even be able to see it cause of my monitors being locked at 60Hz 😭

[storm escarp]

That's sad reality for me too

[zenith lynx]

You don't have the beta invites role so the beta invites channel might show as no access to you

[molten sun]

I didn’t get the invite… i’m totally ok I promise *going to cry in a corner *

[ashen tusk]

Welcome pc beta folks to pings that aren't doot alerts!

[winged flame]

Me fr

[worthy locust]

There is a tutorial on how to find it on the form, there's a setting you need to enable on discord

[delicate shuttle]

i have.
i am serious.

[carmine thorn]

thx!

[fathom canopy]

I just learned about the PC Beta.
And thanks to Sof for sharing the link to register

[storm escarp]

I didn't cry, I just felt disappointed at my email for not getting an email from tgc

[zenith lynx]

Then did you see sago's message in there? They said there may or may not be more keys sent out if they need

[hybrid raft]

this chat actually reminded me last night i could change my refresh rate and i turned it DOWN to 60hz… a while ago. i turned it back up to 144hz last night waiting for the legendary email & i am never going back lol

[frosty trout]

Okay please enjoy your daily recommended dose of pings

[naive solar]

the beta updates post made my discord crash

[hollow cape]

Once you see 120fps or above there's no coming back

[delicate shuttle]

bro i just asked a question--

[storm escarp]

My day goes better every time I get to read those patch notes

[grave niche]

I'll get the and ready

[orchid nexus]

what is 227673?

[left quest]

TWO pings from Sagomay in one day? We're eating good tonight

[worthy locust]

I bought a brand new PC to play ||ok also to play modern games with raytracing||

[obsidian plover]

227673 what an amazing update 227673/10

[zenith lynx]

And I just replied...

[storm escarp]

101329

[grave niche]

171755

[ashen tusk]

oh no not again

[haughty raptor]

Yes

[obsidian plover]

we have discussed this, 227673 is the true build that is eternal

[hollow cape]

Si

[delicate shuttle]

ofc i've checked messages but i thought thst i've missed so i have a permission to ask😊😊😊😊

[brave grove]

I'm getting a crash, but have no idea how to consistently do it.

[dry ibex]

Oh 6 more days of DoStyle I’m gonna miss that event

[alpine junco]

with the types of bugs im seeing for this port, this reeks more of an alpha not even a beta

[storm escarp]

101329, is wiser, is better and is awaiting its light, you can't tell me 227673 is better : P

[cinder chasm]

Bug fixes and improvements

[obsidian plover]

go replay 101329, then go to 227673
and then tell me 101329 is better XD

[zenith lynx]

I never said you didn't. You didn't have the beta invites role so I kindly reminded you of that.

[hollow cape]

Well obviously you haven't seen the truth about the 227673

[orchid nexus]

thinking about a way to censor all numbers except 227673, or make skybot remove messages that use the wrong number and send them in the channel here with corrections 🤔

[storm escarp]

I can't replay it, I no longer have an iostream

[grave niche]

[misty swallow]

when and where could you access the google form to apply to be a tester for pc beta? i think i missed it accidentally and im just so confused

[delicate shuttle]

but google form said about UPDATES ping, not INVITES 🤔

[obsidian plover]

this is why 227673 is the best
it's up to date, eternal, has a lot of content, and is playable on steam

[storm escarp]

The correct number is 101329, we all know that

[ashen tusk]

you get the invites ping role from #beta-faq as usual
that opens up the invites channel and you'll see the latest ping there

[grave niche]

Could you put 171755 on that list too please?

[obsidian plover]

First on switch, but not the best

[storm escarp]

I can't play it on pc though, and I know you also can't

[delicate shuttle]

.... google pc beta form said about PRIORITY OF BETA DOOT PING, why invites ping....

[zenith lynx]

Yes, but sago posted your answer in the beta invite channel which you could not see before. Ofc it's more important to have the beta update role but they just happened to post the answer to your question in the other channel

[misty swallow]

anyone?

[obsidian dust]

no invites gang 😔

[worthy locust]

The TGC post about Gamescom

[storm escarp]

What was the first one on the station? 207610?

[obsidian plover]

brain don't remember, 227673 is brain now
~~206971 will never be 227673 ~~

[misty swallow]

which was where?

[delicate shuttle]

nah horrible
now i am really confused tnx

okay i will just wait for another wave

[ashen tusk]

generally testers have all the pings just to not miss anything anyways it was just in another channel, but if you've grabbed the invites role now you should be able to see it

[sudden pine]

Old skool

[hollow cape]

Obviously 227673 hasn't reached its full potential once it gets live everyone in the world will be able to see its magnificence

[foggy brook]

pc beta would def make me more active in beta i would love an invite

[karmic plover]

[storm escarp]

I am pretty sure it was 207610, 141651 was first on the droid and 206971 was first on switch

[ashen tusk]

tinfoil hat will protect us from 227673

[zenith lynx]

New emote? Or did I never see that one before

[worthy locust]

On the thatskygame site under news, also social media

[steep cobalt]

tinfoil hat cannot protect

[foggy brook]

role giver is not working uhh

[obsidian plover]

some people just don't appreciate 227673 😭
they are too hooked on the older builds, 227673 will save us all

[carmine thorn]

ok i full the form, is there going in future new lin on e-mail for PC?

[frosty trout]

If you don't see the post in the invites channel, nbd—as long as you got a ping in the #beta-announcements channel that's the most important one. Sometimes I cross post to spam give stuff an extra chance to be seen.

To quote our resident bot, It's not that deep fam
...insert weasel emote here

[storm escarp]

No it won't, 101329, is the best one, I can't replay it though, I am still awaiting the light for it

[dry ibex]

It’s in #beta-announcements and everywhere else! Invites are on an as-Needed basis, so wafo 🧇

[hollow cape]

Can we have a 227673 statue in game so everyone can join the club and praise it

[orchid nexus]

two important notes from #beta-signup-info :

1. Additional keys will be sent in the future on an as-needed basis.
2. Please do not email or message us if you haven’t received a key.

[sudden pine]

Where is the rock currently?

[obsidian plover]

how about you jump to skynet then 🙄 XD

[delicate shuttle]

sounds like new season

[storm escarp]

I have Journey for that

[ashen tusk]

To be fair, the ping being in invites makes sense since it wasn't an update announcement, it was an announcement regarding the pc invites all being sent out - it's best to just collect all the roles from #beta-faq so you don't miss out

[delicate shuttle]

finally normal answer, thank u!

[frosty trout]

peregrinekt asking the important questions here

[marble sierra]

I'm still scared I filled out my survey incorrectly, or didn't hit the correct priority role. I saw that my reactions were removed one day in the channel to get the invite roles.
a bit nervous because i've been bugtracking in live for a while and want to make sure I help cover all the beta issues I can

[obsidian dust]

can't wait to finally see Sky with better graphics and w/o the risk of cooking my fingers

[craggy elbow]

i wish i could see my beta form
im so paranoid i actually typed the email wrong, if i did its gone 😭

[rose finch]

same

[obsidian dust]

i'll be keeping tabs on my 4 email address wheeeezeee

[orchid nexus]

FOMOOPCTOTSGWAP: fear of missing out on pc testing of the same game we're already playing

[ashen tusk]

it should just be the one you signed up with though?

[hybrid dust]

You didn't apply 4 different times did you?

[worthy locust]

We will surely get the karkland, we must be patient

[obsidian dust]

i frogot which one I used 💀

[sudden pine]

Sky bot ate the message I tried to write about me trying to explain to the people in the sandwich shop I’m in that I’m laughing about version numbers.

[orchid nexus]

Kirkland brand Sky cape for sale at costco?

[obsidian plover]

oooo food
I want food now
sorry for reply ;-;

[sudden pine]

I don’t mind pings it’s ok

[grave niche]

Build number-themed food

[ashen tusk]

there's something in the beta water, everyone is in chaos the last few days

[storm escarp]

101329

[grave niche]

Strange that the build number and the emote were introduced at the same time.
coincidence?

[storm escarp]

My food is an apple 🍎

[hybrid raft]

quickly someone order 227673 sandwiches to feed all of skycord

[obsidian plover]

227673 is connected to all

[carmine thorn]

btw thanks you again for help me with form, you're so kind guys

[ashen tusk]

that's not enough sandwiches for all of skycord though

[sudden pine]

(I have a Italian garlic green beans and ham sandwich)

[hollow cape]

Then we can make another 227673 extra

[storm escarp]

Can we order 1001?

[orchid nexus]

but figure this out: the emoji ID for that discord "randomly" assigns when emojis are created is 227673

[sudden pine]

It’s almost like peas

[obsidian plover]

227673 was an anagram for peas this whole time! 😮

[hybrid dust]

Can't spell peas without 2, 3, 6 and 7

[carmine thorn]

what's this numbers mean

[storm escarp]

I prefer 101329 pineapples pizzas

[dry ibex]

It’s the build number, Kev mentioned it in chat yesterday and we kind of kept going

[iron elbow]

227673 is a number
peas is also a number
coincidence????

[storm escarp]

The number mason, what do they mean?

[sudden pine]

Just gone fully version number goblin mode at this point

[ashen tusk]

skybot sassing sagomay 😭

[carmine thorn]

it's like local meme?

[obsidian plover]

numbers help unify it all 😄

[orchid nexus]

actually the unicode numbers for the letters p, e, a are [22][76][73]

[dry ibex]

Beta local meme!

[lucid warren]

i got to watch genchat go crazy about fire prophet, now i get to watch beta chat go crazy about 227673

[storm escarp]

Harvested in your beta events and testing discussion chat 😋

[lilac solstice]

It's become a beta meme. It's originally just the build number for this beta build

[grave niche]

That's a big moment

[worthy locust]

2 0 4 8 6 3

[dry ibex]

Beta players are happy with anything. We’re all just happy to be here, brain empty

[obsidian plover]

all numbers lead to a build one way or another

[storm escarp]

101329, do you know what this version is tho?

[carmine thorn]

I would to say something about crazy but i understand it's a bit annoing

[distant sky]

I turned on the computer and downloaded the PC, and then l found that I haven't bound the steam account in the beta of Android mobile terminal, oh no.

[grave niche]

I can't wait for the next build number to just be "actual build - number = 227673"

[hybrid raft]

maybe the real 227673 was the friends we made along the way

[obsidian plover]

but... the 227673 hub area ;-;

[storm escarp]

227673 is not real tho, it's only in beta

[lilac solstice]

No idea. Probably old seeing the number

[storm escarp]

0.1...8 I think? Has been a long time

It was from when I first saw about the game, 2017 almost 2018

[lilac solstice]

Ah light awaits builds. Very very old

[storm escarp]

I am still awaiting the light ;-;

[obsidian plover]

this is why we must focus on 227673
it's the future, staying in the past is futile, we must move ahead and accept 227673 for what it is

[storm escarp]

227673 will be the past in a few days

[hybrid raft]

i have a very silly doodle idea for 227673 that i might run to go do but idk if anyone will get the reference (it is the pi (3.14) twewy conversation )

[idle nexus]

I love that 227673 is still going strong here.

[upper bronze]

yk what (un improves your bugs)

[dry ibex]

Cali 😭hahahahaha

[frosty trout]

101329 is from December 2017, specifically That was before Sky kids could even properly walk IIRC. You could make them "walk" by using the d-pad to take a bunch of awkward steps, otherwise I think you had to hop everywhere?

[lilac solstice]

Little did you know, I signed up for the bugs

[minor falcon]

my poor old 2020 ipad pro isn't realy for the reality of 120fps

[grave niche]

Soon people will have to switch it though when the next build rolls in

[maiden yacht]

sadge, no pc beta for me yet, hopefully i get in next round

[obsidian plover]

all in favor of 227673 being the new retail build react with

[upper bronze]

2-2-7-6-7-3-FREAK! JOIN THE PARTY, THE FAST AND EASY WAAAY

[lilac solstice]

So this build is old old

[storm escarp]

Such a long time ago...I kept track of the game until it came out in beta for android, regained track on it earlier this year

[grave niche]

But... 171755

[barren mist]

LETS GO 227673 PATCH NOTES!!!

[upper bronze]

why is 227673 a meme anyway im so lost

[obsidian plover]

Just a little housecleaning

Focus on 227673

[storm escarp]

I don't remember the commit for 0.1.9 sadly tho, I kept track of some of them but they are lost in my old hard drives, I just remember for 0.1.8 of how excited I was

[dry ibex]

Meme Starter™️: #beta-discussion message

[barren mist]

227673 known issues?? There are no issues in 227673, 227673 is PERFECT

[brave grove]

Valley of Triumph is a bit cursed for me.

[upper bronze]

oh its just beta nonsense as usual lol

[obsidian plover]

nonsense?
quite the opposite, we have been enlightened since last night 😄

[storm escarp]

I...remember 0.4.2 was 122555...I think that's the earliest I have saved screenshots from in this hard drive besides 0.1.8
I should really clean my old hard drives and recover all that lol

[lilac solstice]

Guess we can just end sky on 227673 then

[grave niche]

sits alone on the 171755 table

[frosty trout]

@upper bronze please don't

[upper bronze]

sorry wont again

[storm escarp]

Welp, that was quick

[summer copper]

Where was the July blog post to fill out the form? Too bad I use my PC way more often than mobile, but I have a tester account there. Is it still possible for me to apply to test the PC version?

[barren mist]

171755 is so in the past, join 227673

[grave niche]

You mean, you want me to switch to 227673?

[storm escarp]

Didn't the game began being called Sky children of the light in 134502 (0.5.0)? It's been such a long time

[orchid nexus]

I have said some questionable facts about 227673, but this is a true fact: #227673 is is the hex code for the PC beta role color

[barren mist]

227673 is the past, the present and the future

[lilac solstice]

Y'all are green

[naive solar]

the

[upper bronze]

tempted to get the pc beta updates ping bc the green is rly pretty

[summer copper]

I'm not sure if I'm even asking in the right place

[steep cobalt]

woah color change

[orchid nexus]

no, they're #227673

[obsidian plover]

this is the best day ever

[storm escarp]

That color change scared me for a second

[frosty trout]

Na, y'all are 227673

[zenith lynx]

colour change

[wanton yacht]

i love this colour please dont change it

[barren mist]

As we should be 😎

[lilac solstice]

Sago and Alex had a same braincell moment

But now I want this color wait a minute

[storm escarp]

OH MY GOD, THAT ONE WAS HILARIOUS

[trim temple]

[naive solar]

so are we gonna stay like this?

[upper bronze]

moss gang moss gang

[orchid nexus]

it's a disturbingly similar dark shade of the mod role so I don't think it will last long

[wanton yacht]

awww but valid pff

[obsidian plover]

that is understandable

[barren mist]

NOOOOOOOO

[quiet obsidian]

woaow role colour change

[upper bronze]

wait when did we get this emote

[naive solar]

yeah - someone already thought i became one

[grave niche]

just like the exact build number

[lilac solstice]

Oh I can't have it because I'm a pink

[storm escarp]

Let's enjoy it while we can, 101329 on the other hand is even darker, bc it's forgotten ;-;

[dry ibex]

Same

[merry marsh]

what the

[quiet obsidian]

why are we 227673 though

[dusky quail]

[iron elbow]

always have been

[spark lance]

Why not

[grave niche]

you think you're forgotten, people don't even know what 171755 is

[barren mist]

Because 227673

[upper bronze]

376722 is a nice color

[storm escarp]

First switch build, don't worry I got you

[dusky quail]

I think they took my beta away cause I was inactive on vacation WHY ARE YALL GREEN

[obsidian plover]

227673 is why we are green

[hybrid raft]

i looked away for a second and the role color ME TOO?

[storm escarp]

227673, that's why
