Help wanted with WOP Beta D/L

[Houndstone Hawk]

Hi.

Would someone be so kind as to help me get the Wings of Prey Beta from yuplay. I'm posting here because I cant get onto the yuplay forum as it continually tells me that my username (email) is too long???

I have created an account with yuplay & can login ok at their store. I have selected the 'Buy' button next to WOP & selected 'Activation' at the bottom of the drop down. I then selected payment method by credit card, successfully purchased the pre-order value of 3.5 dollars & now have my balance showing as 10.00 yum. So far so good?
I have installed the yuplay client (at 1.48mb) & that is showing in my task bar....... I am completely stuck from here on in. Clicking the yuplay client icon & selecting my username (email address) & then scrolling over to purchases, I can see that this page is telling me I have purchased nothing.
I haven't a clue how to start downloading the Beta & from where?
I can find no yuplay client user interface or any helpful aid whatsoever. I can find no download link, torrent or any such thing & even more annoying, I cant log in to their forums & post there because I am being told my username (email) is too long.
I have registered with ease & have accessed their site to complete registration via the email that was sent to me along with a generic password but inputting the details they provide, I still cant login to the forum.
It looked as tho some other guy on there had a similar problem & that Ancient Seraph was in the process of assisting him but the guy then responded with un neccessary attitude & the thread was cut short. If Ancient or some other kind soul could continue with a helpful step by step I'd be most grateful.

Going are the days of walking into GAME with cash & walking out with a product I fear, lol. And remember those same days you could pick up demos & BETAs from the counter.


Cheers all!!!

There was indeed some other guy, with a similar problem, but I haven't experienced it myself or have heard any solution. The download can be started by logging in to the site, going to the WoP area and where the Purchase button was, there should now be a Download button. You can choose to download via Torrent (quite slow), HTTP (fast, but annoying because you have to click every file seperately, and you need a YuPlay subscription (€3,- or something)), or via YuPlay client. The last was the best option when I downloaded it, since it's the fastest. The download would show up and show progress in the main window of the YuPlay client, but now the client doesn't have a main window anymore, just a tray icon. Not sure why.
About the purchasing, did you purchase WoP directly, or first buy yums (what a name) and then purchase it?

I know ... Yums!!! What a term for currency.

To my knowledge, all I've purchased from the 'activation' button off the 'Purchase' drop down by the WoP picture (I know, it's so overly complicated), is some fixed total which states 3.5 dollars & my balance reads 10.00 Yum. Just assuming that this small total is infact a pre-order deposit, I went back to the purchase button (perhaps guessing that there would be some download link now) but can find no way of downloading the BETA or indeed see any torrent link anywhere. All the time I have made sure that I have logged in & have the yuplay client running in the tray.

Perhaps you need to purchase the full amount in 'Yum' equivelant ($39.99) before you can access the BETA? Infact thinking about it more, I'm sure that's what I need to do.


*EDIT* OK I'm a tw*t lol. Finally worked out that you indeed have to purchase 40 dollars worth of Yum, then go back to the WoP drop down menu, select pay by Yum & 'bingo'. So bloody obvious. Hey man; thanks for responding anyway
