That's pretty common. Choosing testers by their system setup first. The first small wave checks for compatibility. The Waves after the first one have mostly alot more work. Not only testing the "How does it work with my setup", also bughunting, stresstests, and maybe in a later state (if this happens) the translation of the game itself. Hopefully gamesas accepts the hints/ideas/workarounds from testers. I already learned not every company does. Why there was an alpha/beta is still a riddle for me
.
I think Fallout 3 crashed on nearly every system from time to time. But that's an old problem of bethesdas engine. Due the fact that gamesas uses a different engine (as far as I read), this problem has a 50:50 chance not to occur.
Nearly time to drop of to work...already 4 am in the morning
