I thought I was going to finish writing early today and move on to the beta version of Fallout 76, but it turns out that I will have to wait for a moment.
Despite my pre-order of the game, a few different mistakes have been made to try to switch to this morning's beta. The first was an endless loading screen that appeared when I entered a wrong Bethesda.net username / password and forced me to quit. Then there was another error message when I finally got my login info:
"Login failed." This account does not have the required rights.
I thought it might be a problem because my pre-order did not register and failed to give me beta access, but that's not what's happening.
It turns out that the structure of the beta version of Fallout 76 is … a little unusual. Bethesda performs "sessions" of limited duration for the beta version of Fallout 76, at least to begin with, the first only starts tonight at 7 pm ET and runs until 11 pm ET where the game will be interrupted and we will have to wait for the next session, probably the next day. All these mistakes are not due to the fact that you do not have access, but because Bethesda does not put the beta online before tonight.
This is really an unusual way to set up a beta version. Most multiplayer beta's simply open the floodgates at one point and let the beta run for a few days. Usually, when you see specifically programmed "sessions" like this one, it's for video game journalists who have already received copies. The reason being that there are only a few dozen or a hundred journalists reviewing a multiplayer game at an early stage, so sessions are organized to make sure there are enough people for the session. But for this beta, where millions of people are going to play, this is not a problem, and it seems that Bethesda probably does it to put a strain on the servers.
Given the brevity of this window, I would not be surprised if the first day ends up being a total failure. While some beta versions are nothing more than first glimpses of a game, Bethesda's beta version of Fallout 76 beta seems to evoke the fact that the company is technically testing the game in anticipation of its launch, promising many bugs and probably … many server problems. well.
At 7 pm, the game will be crowded with players who will try to enter, but if you did not know you were going to have to wait until this hour, I would not blame you. Most of the information you can find on the beta just indicates that it starts today. The error messages you receive in game do not give you any information about when the beta is supposed to start, but give the impression that you have done wrong.
But yes, that's where we are. No beta before tonight, and we'll see if he succeeds.
