Dovetail Games Beta Testers

Hi Matt im interested in being a beta im an Xbox x player I have 99% of routes and dlc i dont work full time so can play quite a bit.

 

Thinking about it as my potato PC could be a useful benchmark. Cons are, not sure how much time. I could devote to the process and the big cheese, once signing a NDA it does pretty much silence any active participation on public forums, FB etc as there’s just too much risk of inadvertently saying something you shouldn’t.

If I do decide yes, Matt what’s the application process - a DM to yourself?

 

i would love to volunteer but my TSW is very heavily modded, i would assume you want just the vanilla game to be run mod free so not to skew results?, not sure if steam would be happy having a dual installation never tried, so if anyone has experience doing that i would appreciate the advice. If it is possible i would love to sign up as I'm just about to break 1200hrs in game LOL.

 

I failed the first test!

 

Matt the date of birth box is terrible

 

Do we get a notification email once sent ? I'm always afraid I messed up my email adress somehow

 

Alltrough I switched to PC lately, Im interested to test on Xbox Series X to help making it an enjoyable experience on console again.

Was not prepared to have my Console ID number on hand here at work.
Will send my application later when home

 

Hi DTG Matt. I'd like to sign up. Currently play on Series S and have most of the game content and would be happy to help out with testing

 

Oh well FWIW application submitted.

BTW filling the form out where it requests an XBox ID, even if you haven't ticked it as an option you need to put N/A in the field otherwise it kicks the form back.

 

Those days are long over, I don't want to be responsible for a release being delayed again!

 

Old flarts like me had to do a lot of scrolling.

 

Would love to join but don’t know what a network device number id is, can it be found on the Xbox app?

 

Me too lol

 

All submitted I've already got an NDA by the way

 

i have applied (submitted)

but accidentally did it 2 times, im normally free on Saturdays or Sundays

 

Have sent you where you need to go Bradley

 

tell me about it! having to go back 52 years. Thankfully clicking on where the month and year were brought up the years by month which made clicking a lot quicker coz the up arrow clicked back through the years instead of the months

 

Very Interested Matt, Thank you for posting this today. I can provide the flexibility of PC/Xbox as I use the Microsoft Store Version, I have left a detailed response on the form.

 

Real shame you can't do it on Playstation as I would be first in line

 

I really want to apply but this will effect my daily routine of taking screenshots everyday in train sim world, ( I mean I could take a few months worth of screenshots but not sure if I should and well I have a problem of taking screenshots out of habit)

 

Do you accept Russians?

 

Not for me. Could never sign an NDA. Besides, I don't have the time. And I'm not sure TSW beta testers carry that much weight, given the number of obvious issues that make it to release.

 

It appears to be much more difficult to do beta testing on PS5 as there are no dev kits and the backend is harder to deal with

 

I registered. I hope I become a beta tester. I really like to play the game and also a lot. If I can contribute to the fact that TSW offers a better player experience all the better.

 

It’s under the Seriennumber on your console Info

 

It's worth a try, I filled out the form and sent it off.

 

Is the beta testing some that can be put on a CV? And is it voluntary or paid work? )

 

You get all the pixels you can eat.

 

If it was paid, they would say that upfront, I'd assume. Though, I would say there's no harm in putting on a CV, doubly so if applying for a job with relevant transferable skills. I put Forum & Discord Moderation on mine (which I do for Project Motor Racing's official server and forum) , for example, I figure dealing with the madness of Internet must show some degree of relevant experience in dealing with the public

 

It’s free work like on Forza Motorsport or any Beta Testers from the Community

 

The signing only takes about five seconds

The reading would probably take about a week

 

Fired in an application there. DTG have me under NDA for my mod role via TSC Discord for what it's worth. Fingers crossed anyways as it looks like a lot of people have applied.

 

Hi, I would like to retract my application if this is possible.

 

Hi Matt,

I have completed the form, any ideas when successful candidates will be contacted?

Thanks,

James

 

No my point is it asks for it even if you just tick PC. I don’t own an XBox.

 

Hello Matt! Just applied thanks for this Opportunity. Will we get emails if we got through or not?

 

And if you breach the NDA...

 

Another reason I can't do it. Anyone who knows me knows I can't keep my big mouth shut. I'd almost certainly be looking at " the drop " in a very short time.

 

Just enter NA.

 

That's what I said originally but the respondent to my post seemed to think I was actually trying to put a XB serial in!

 

hi, I think it is worth to ask; while this part may probably reefer to the sharing of gameplay video and stuff, it isn't really clear.
If someone uses the (public) editor to make content (route and vehicle), would there be problems when validating the game files?
or there would be no problems as stuff passes via steam and should get "validated" once you turn on the game with steam?
I may also assume there may be issues by using the editor as it takes some files from the routes you have installed and this may not be great.
looking forward for an answer,
best regards

 

Is beta testing on the PlayStation not necessary (yeah, right ) or is there another reason that people who own a PlayStation can’t apply?

Aha, thanks.

 

Hey matt, any chance you can let us know how we're going to be contacted about if we're accepted or not?

 

Finally submitted

 

It will be interesting to see how many famous names vanish from the forum when the selection process is done.

One thing to double check with Matt if still monitoring the thread. A sixth sense has told me on PC at least the beta install requires about twice the HD space as the retail install? If that’s true might rule me out as I could probably shuffle things around to get 500Gb of free space but anything over that would mean pretty much uninstalling everything else for the duration. (My C drive is 1Tb, D Drive 1Tb and E drive only 500Gb).
