Diablo III Beta: Update your blizzard System Check

The beta test approaches! We’ve just updated our System Check program and would like everyone to update their Battle.net Beta Profile information by running the new one. You should do this regardless of whether there have been hardware changes made to your system.

You can run the new System Check by visiting the Beta Profile settings of your Battle.net account:

I don’t have a Beta Profile
If you haven’t yet created a Beta Profile on your Battle.net account you’ll be presented with two download options, PC and Mac, for our System Check program. Running the program will present you with the Beta Test Opt-In Agreement, and once you agree to that it will immediately query basic computer specification information such as your type of video card, processor, and RAM. Clicking the Send button will then upload the shown information to your account.

On your Beta Profile page, you’ll want to ensure you at least have “Diablo Universe” checked for future testing, if not StarCraft and Warcraft as well. That’s it! You’re now eligible for future beta test opportunities.


I have a Beta Profile
If you’ve previously uploaded your system info you should use the links to download the new System Check program for PC or Mac and update your system info. Run the program, read through the Beta Test Opt-In Agreement that appears, and once you agree to that the program will immediately query your basic computer specification information. Click Send and the program will automatically update your profile with your system specifications. You’ll remain opted in for whichever beta tests you’ve previously selected, and you can change these selections on your Beta Profile page at any time.

Having current system specifications and checking the franchise boxes to express interest in beta testing our future products does not guarantee your entry into the beta test. We will grant a very limited number of people entry from the entire pool of those interested, based on their system specifications and other factors. While having an official Battle.net Beta Profile is one way to potentially get in, we’ll have information on other ways to increase your chances as we draw closer to the beta test.

All I get is a warning that I am the first person who tries to run this program in the world from Norton, and then it fails to send the system specs anyway probably because it's blocked behind a firewall.

MS security Essentials FTW.

I just turned Norton off real fats and did it, then it worked. hope i WINNNNN!

EDIT: Im not a big fan of the new battle.net. I think they do give preference to people who have done betas and/or own a lot of their games, but only Startcraft 2 comes up as one i own since it doesnt recognize your older games unless you bought them through the new battle.net service. I own Starcraft, Diablo, Diablo II, Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3 and its expansions, Starcraft 2, and did the betas for Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2...

Nothing FTW.

Seriously, who gets viruses, anyway? Don't execute that EXE attachment, numbnuts!

[Don]

The Chinese sites hammer you pretty hard with all kinds of browser exploits and that's not something you can avoid by not running EXEs. Occasionally some banner exploit shows up via one of those rotating ads even on sites that are fairly reputable. But yeah, I think the whole virus thing is slightly overblown. If you're not messing with stuff that's obviously dangerous in nature there's really not that much risk.

[Eric]

"No Script" for Firefox/Chrom is your friend.

[Shrinweck]

Or avoid Chinese sites.

[Eric]

China will rule the world soon sir, we can't avoid their glorious Chinese master race sites.

As poweful as they ever become their websites for pornography, webcomics, and overall time wasting will always be decades behind.
