VU-Portal FAQs

• Q: How does registration work?
  
  A: Registrations are done directly by the forum account by the means of a custom based Porta. The portal uses your forum account and binds it directly to the account you will use for server. The portal takes your ingame nickname, password to login and your team, after which, you are asked to benchmark your PC where the FPS and resolution are then saved to your account. From this, admins will verify the details on those results and you will either get verification or rejection.
  
  If you application is verified, then it will be forwarded to Head of Staff, who will approve your account to let you play in the server and automatically allot you the shiny group of the team you selected.
  
  Benchmark Server IP: 217.69.11.99:8192 Connect to it and do the test.
  
  
• Q: Hey! I want to change team, how do I do that?
