Yep that is how I have pretty much done the whole thing, thru uTorrent. Much faster than that horrible loader. It using 100% CPU(both cores) and half the time it's dead in the water anyway and (Not Responding)

Go back a few pages and it's pretty easy to do

Hmm well unless you can register to get a key your pretty much stuck. I mean that looks like some sorta Forum sign up. Not even sure where that goes and odd it won't accept it(or tells you its already in use)

Only have one email address?

 

[Apocolypse007]

well. i tried frostwire and utorrent for the metainfo files. frostwire found no seeders, and utorrent found 6 seeders at 2.7kbps.....

I think i'll just stick to my shitty 25kbps from the client downloader... sigh....

Same.

Can someone post the direct link for the client download or the exact link for a torrent. Thank you.

Need to have DHT enabled

FFS, can somebody post the link for the torrent already.

It won't do you any good unless you have the client anyway. If you had the client you could get the torrents from the files from it yourself.

Hey guys, I seem to be one of the rare cases of actually getting in(with minimum effort and next to no expectations). The intro was pretty cool although I tabbed for a moment and it seems like it skipped a cutscene but three things have bothered me:


1) The combat system

Which is a little confusing since i ended up repeatedly clicking my target with the really slow mouse which was annoying. I just mashed my 1-2-3 keys which probably resembled my base spells although I hadn't gone in depth on my skills yet and considering the slight lag I had game-wise not connection-wise I won't judge on that too much yet.

2) The previously mentioned slow mouse, It takes a loooooong time to make things happen as you move your mouse slowly towards the goal of clicking 1 object.

3) Full screen, right so I didn't start off full screen and ended up with a really large screen which means I was basically looking at about 70% of the game and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to toggle it on, if anyone can solve this problem for me that would be really great.

On a side note there is no jumping which means that I'm going to tap the space bar a billion times to figure out that's used to toggle the chat >_>

I might as well mention I am on the european(if zones matter) servers(UK) and on the server with the name that starts with a G(I think there was only 1)

My name's Sreimund Elvur so feel free to add me to experience this beta together and band up against whatever this game has to offer, if anything.

Are they still issuing codes? Been trying for the last two days without any luck.

I just got my code this morning.

The downloader is so fcking lame.... My upload speed is x3 my download speed.

 

[bogmali]

I'm still getting this.....

 

[kid41212003]

Yeah i saw that message a few time but it went through this morning somehow.

Keep trying i guess .

EDIT: Is the game unoptimized? My GTX480 can't keep FPS at 60 constantly.. and I only use x4 MSAA.

I have been monitoring GPU usage on my G15 thru Everest. It is very CPU heavy and not very GPU heavy(again makes me think it's a port already)
I am running it full screen 1920x1080 and pretty much have to run it Standard as far as the GFX go with none of the "extras" on to maintain any kind of decent fps tho it still crawls when there is anyone around.

@Sreimund there is a config in the start menu folder.

 

[INSTG8R]

OH and not meaning to double post(first time offence)
I am on Istory in the EU if anyone is there

Look for Izod Instigator(Elf) or Magnus Instigator(Human) party up for some quests

Ok I'm confused about where to get the client.

I filled in the application form and was given my key via email @ http://entry.ffxiv.com/na/index.html


I logged into Square Enix Account Management System and registered my key @ http://account.square-enix.com

I then log into the FFXIV beta test site @ https://dev-na.ffxiv.com but it keeps logs me out straight with a message saying:

The FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Test Site can only be accessed by those who have been granted Beta Test accounts.

Beta testers can log in from the link below using their Square Enix Account.

Can somebody explain in play English the location or directory which the client is located on their website.

Yeah I was having the same problem initially. Just keep hitting it it will eventually work.
When I did eventually get into the beta site it said I wasn't even logged in but fair enough I could still download the client and get going on it anyway.

Edit: heck I even get the same as you trying to log in now.

I hope this is better than the last POS

 

[INSTG8R]

I hope this is better than the last POS

So far it still needs ALOT of work at least in the optimizations dept. It runs like crap on even the lowest of settings and seeing as it's supposedly going to be a cross platformer it already reeks of being a port.

Just another note the all the servers will be down for "emergency maintenance" they said from 15:00 to 17:00 GMT
