Re: F1 23 playtesting (BETA)
@s00zster Hmm, 4 hours of a MUST playtime is something new.

@Blackbird90I mean, I've got no issues doing that but the fact that it wasn't shown to me when I went through the process, along with potentially anything else I'm agreeing to, is worrying.
For me it was: choose playtests (clicked both), next page told me I'd completed the process, click to exit. That was it. Nothing else. No details anywhere.
@Blackbird90A bit extreme to be demanding that but I suspect that it's a stress test on the netcode, which in a roundabout way could be EA taking the online side seriously.
I've resigned myself to not being part of the Beta due to the breakdown of the process and confirmation systems. When the playtest has disappeared completely while others are receiving emails and notifications that their applications were successful, it doesn't bode well.
Having already emailed the Playtest team, it does seem that the selection could take quite a bit of time as if I've read it correctly, they'll be checking your presence on the forums to begin with and then working on from that
- @TotosHeadphones Im in a similar boat as well with the playtest disappearing. I assume lots of people were applying and it just crashed the system. If im successful then good but if not it isn’t the end of the world

I believe they might manually pick up testers then.
- @Blackbird90 Be good if they do..
I also received an email for this but it then disappeared after completing the application.
For me in MY PROFILE the choice for F1 23 has disappeared.
Not surprising since applications are CLOSED.
However Calendar shows NO TEST at all anytime soon.
Am I missing something?

This is what it should look like if iam correct (see attachment)
- @THEHAMZAGAMER12 I have a question about this....the 1st one last 3 WEEKS and the 2nd 3 DAYS?
The Calendar in MY PROFILE looks like a calendar.
This might be fake but I cant say for sure. - @BadMayh3m It's unlikely to be fake, it's just displayed in another way for specific devices/browsers. Additionally, it's not a shot of the calendar but a screenshot of the playtesting portal which has a preview of your calendar on the load page. The mobile portal is orange themed.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/F1-23-playtesting-BETA/m-p/12494809#M22451 Another user who has the same dates from their personal profile. Scepticism eh? 😂 @TotosHeadphonesHow come I cant find the dates then?
Where is the play testing portal then?
My info has to be bad.
- @BadMayh3m Everything on the page on playtesting is given. I have not had any problems
@BadMayh3m What I call the portal is the initial site that you see when you log in. From above you should be able to see the playtest in the preview calendar but there's nothing in the diary or in the preview. There's nothing to show of confirmation or even registration. Some users have a pending and can see the dates in the preview and the calendar. This is one of the problems, users can't see what their status is for the beta.
@pawel567Count yourself lucky. I had to email the playtest team and they have confirmed my registration but I'm not confident that this is all going to plan for some who have registered and had the playtest disappear from their profiles
- @TotosHeadphones When did you get engaged? When it was announced by EA on social media or when it appeared on playtesting?
- @pawel567 I've been signed up for playtesting for quite a while and been offered a few things in person. I went through the playtesting route. There's shouldn't be discrepancies between either route of registration
- @TotosHeadphones Well, this is unfortunately strange
- @TotosHeadphones Looks exactly like mine ... ☹️
- @xeDy04 it's unfortunate, hopefully it's just a glitch
- @TotosHeadphones I see why Im confused....this iis from a mobile app right?
I went to the OP and clicked on there to get in.....looks different.
Thanks you and everyone for helping to clear this up and I have to agree its messed up. @BadMayh3mYes, that's the mobile browser. Normally I would apologise if I caused any confusion but on this occasion everyone is confused by this!
Hopefully, whoever gets on the beta will take the bug reporting seriously.- @TotosHeadphones Pretty sure the confusion is on my end as I went back to see where I messed up and I was going to the Calendar to see the dates others had as my screen looked like yours. I thought the info was sitting somewhere else.
I'm not very tech savy is an understatement! So I have emailed George from the playtesting team again and said that my playtesting schedule is still empty. He said that he will reset my status on the survey so I can do it again and this should fix the visual errors. Now I can see the beta in the schedule. Hope this helps anyone👍
- @Baki2-_ Such a shame it has to go this way, feel like alot of good candidates (judging from the people commenting on this topic here) are gonna miss out because of a technical error while they would have had a very good contribution to the program, hopefully everyone here makes it in and we can make it a good one 🙌🏼
- @THEHAMZAGAMER12 Im sure they are going to review all applications whether or not they were fully completed. Mine crashed but they did confirm it was received so i suppose that is something
