Different builds. You would have to redownload everything. Just like beta installs don't work with full game releases

Technically every time you update most modern games you're getting a different build to a degree. It's rare for games these days to do typical "patching". Most modifications are to existing core data as opposed to additional data, at least outside of content updates.

The difference in applications like Uplay, Steam, etc. is what Repos and Game/App IDs the product is tied to. In this case the upcoming test will be using the same Game ID as the Private Beta (Alpha, Previous Tech Tests, etc.). We compare the build (files) you have on your machine and then diff them to find what has changed and what needs updating. In essence you'll just patch the Private Beta files if you still have them... (/u/nethfel was on the right train of thought)

The Beta and full release will be separate though so you'll need to re-download the game come release. You can still move the beta build and get the file diffing to work if you really want to, but it's typically not recommended. If you have the band...

Hi there!

Cain from the Uplay team here. I am the one responsible for making sure you have you game in your library (Providing you have been invited of course). Unfortunately, pushing the games out to those invited is taking a liiiiitle longer than expected but they are slowly but surely making their way out there.

I'm estimating at the current rate that it show up in less than 2 hours (Depending on how lucky you are) so keep your eyes peeled for the game showing up in your libraries.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

UPDATE 20:45 UTC: The game should now be on everyone's account (If you were invited of course)

Hey Cain I uninstalled the private beta. Is it possible to resintall if i have been invited?

Yep, if you got an invite the game will be showing up in your Uplay library hopefully very soon and then you can download it just like any other game.

Thank you very much for the information. Ill kep my eyes open. Should I be worried that my access to the technical test forum was deleted or is it due to extreme amounts of questions about this very thing? :D

I can't comment on the forums access I'm afraid. That's not something I'm working with at all so I have no idea how access to that is meant to work :P

Are those who were in the prior technical alpha test going to be automatically invited to this phase? Or, are we thrown back into the RNG pool for this test?

I'm not involved in the selection of players I'm afraid so I don't know I'm afraid. Based on what the announcement states, it's random.

All the invites have been sent or can I still be invited?

All the invites have been sent as far as I'm aware.

If the game appeared in my inventory but never got an email, am I in?

If you can click on it and download the game then yes.

MyMiddleNameDanger

I never deleted the old one, when I click it it says hide or uninstall

But you got the e-mail about 4 hours ago inviting you to this specific test? If you only have Hide/Uninstall then it sounds like you were not on the list I received at least :/

PM_UR_NSFW_ALT

Are all of the emails out by now?

As I understand it, yes they should have all been sent out some hours ago.

Don't be so afraid :)

I don't like to disappoint :)

I have a greyed Div 2 Technical Test in my library but no invite mail yet.

It would seem like you were not invited then. (The greyed out Technical Test is the former Beta that got renamed)

Hi Folks,

Where are you trying to claim/launch the game from?

As far as I understood it you have to pre order or be invited to the beta by someone or them.

I haven't been able to.play until I pre ordered the game.

That is most definitely NOT the case for the Open beta. It's free to access for anyone :)
