Cosma wants to borrow your computer and give you rewards, AGAIN! Update: this round of testing is over

Thanks for all those who participated, this round of testing is OVER!

------

Glitches of Ur:

Cosma is evaluating new features in the game engine and would like to borrow your computer to test them. And naturally, you will be rewarded.

It won't take any effort to participate (you will not be playing the game, though you can watch it), but it will take 5-15 minutes for most people. You will be rewarded for testing up to three times.

If you use multiple computers, it would help Cosma learn more if you run a test on each (or as few/many as you like).

The whole point of this test is to let the game run by itself on your computer without any interaction from you.

The last time we ran this test, players were behaving very un-Glitchlike. These things we ask you to NOT DO during or after the test (please respect Cosma's wishes!):
* DO NOT use your computer AT ALL (no pictures, no video, no Facebook) while the tests are running!
* DO NOT report bugs at all - even if things look wrong, or you get an error!
* DO NOT interact with the game during testing
* DO NOT intentionally try to re-enter the test locations after testing is complete

When testing is over, you will receive a reward. The next time you launch the game you will be returned to where you started. If you find yourself stuck in a test location, please alert a staff member in Help chat.

Now that you're ready to enlist, head to www.glitch.com/perf/
---
If you encounter any problems during the test, try again.
If you still have trouble, you should stop testing, and Cosma thanks you for trying.

  • Ok messaging from iPad whilst test is running, untouched on MacBook pro with snow leopard and Firefox newest version. :)
    Edit, now running in chrome.
    IF testing is still open after 9am GMT I'll be at work and can test widows too. Can't be doing with widows at home when I work with it.

  • One small question, I hope this does not count as a login to game, I'm half way to getting the quoin badges... Strict login for collection and all that.

  • jiva, I imagine it might. I would avoid if if you don't have time to collect your quoins afterwards.

  • Got in good three times on Chrome Safari gave me an error every time I tried. :) Love these opportunities.

  • Haha, now that the crabs talk in the local chat Animal Farm is like a crab gauntlet. My glitch got stuck in the rapid-direction-switch thing and just spent a long time bouncing back and forth between two crabs while they yelled at me.

  • Ran it on firefox 3 times, no problems. And I think this time it ran smoother than when I ran it the first time around. :)

  • I think I saw 2 robots in test 4.  They look like pale grey gumbies.

  • So is this just stress testing or something more nefarious?
    Posted 8 months ago by Zoethor2 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • DO NOT try to re-enter the test locations after testing is complete
    I've never tried to intentionally re-enter, but if I were to go into the game after running this test for you...it will start me in the last test place that I had been in and then immediately send me to where ever I was before running the test.

  • Oh, poor little glitch who died in mid-air on Animal Farm, how I wish I could have mourned you.

  • I *really* wanted to click on the 'Project Available' pop up in Soulful, but restrained myself...barely.

    Ran it successfully twice on the most updated version of Firefox. Thanks for the moola and what an experience it was!

  • Blue-winged batterflies! Green-bellied crabs! Psychedelic, man!
    Posted 8 months ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This might be just chicken stuff, but I feel battered and crabby after the tests.  Sorry, just needed to swine a bit.  Maybe I am simply projecting my feelings at this available moment.  Then again, I might be steamed.  So this misty-eyed Glitch will leave for another castle located near a mysterious vortex.  Or go visit 12 galaxies.  I'm off to get again!

  • "Where do I file a complaint against the crabs? "

    baaahahahaha, I want to know, too!

  • Firefox 3.6.13 on iMac i7: API Error storing performance results: null.
    Posted 8 months ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Weird. Got a Software Update pop-up window, with the header "Introduction" and a "Cancel" and "Update" buttons, but otherwise blank. 

    What's up with THAT?
    Posted 8 months ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Should I be concerned?  I know that I am Soulful, at least 22 times.  But I am Souless 24 times!  HELP!  I need some soul!

  • To what level of not using the computer do you need, staff? I didn't touch anything once I entered the /perf but I always have various programs open in the background. Should I turn off IM, mail, my other browser? I'm not using any of them during the test, but they are running.
    Posted 8 months ago by Csophae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm with Csophae - Don't touch the whole computer, or just the browser? If we run a browser by itself, can we do everything else?

    Basically, I guess I'm asking 'Can I run this while I'm at work?' =)

  • Tested once and will do the other two later - There were *CENSORED SPOILER* there, I tell you! :D
