@Wakapedia-CIG:

We’re getting closer. QA team is checking the build. Goal is 2x800 player meshed shards. Will update here shortly as we are hoping for sometime in the next 30 minutes if QA gives the greenlight!

    Yeah, looks like missions aren’t enabled yet as there’s a bug with missions and server meshing, but we’ve been given the greenlight so the tech preview should be available shortly.

      AWESOME. In the Game Environment drop down, will it appear as Tech Preview or PTU?

      Thanks!

        will appear as “Tech-Preview” in dropdown.

        For a quicker download just rename your “LIVE” folder to “TECH-PREVIEW”

        Looks like they found a crash last second so they’re holding off for a bit to investigate.

        UPDATE: looks like they’re cancelling for tonight and going to try to fix it in the morning.

          Ahhhhh. Lame.

          Thanks man.
