    I think their tracker is screwed, I think downloading with utorrent or something makes it go faster though.

    There's a thread on these boards with instructions on how to DL through utorrent, can't remember which one but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

    downloading stuck there. what should I do ?

  • stamps79stamps79 Member Posts: 233

    When I was in the closed beta a few weeks ago, It  showed no status change on my downloading and then a few hours later, it would start to move. this would happen a few times off and on.  It took me almost a full day to fully download the game, lots of patience is require for this client =-P.

    I had no problem downloading, then again I live in Sweden with a 100mbit line. Only problem I have is that I havent got an Open Beta key, and there seems to be no way to get one. So downloading seems kinda pointless...

    Use utorrent to download it, the client will never finish.

    ok if you only need the last patch just skip first link else use both:

    http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1863/Final_Fantasy_XIV_Open_Beta_Patch_Files.html

    This link has a direct download of a rar file of all the patches apart of today ones.

    And here:

    http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/13147-patch-stuck/

    Last patch you will need.

    Now I guess you already have beta launcher else you'll have to download it from fileplanet.

    Go to DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Versiondownloadsffxiv-betad96437e6patch

    Close the launcher first then paste all the patches inside there (if you already downloaded some of them you can put only the ones left to be downloaded)

    Then launch launcher again and it should just verify what patches you have.

    If you Alt+Tab away from FFXIV in fullscreen mode, the client will throw a shit fit and force you to quit.

    11 did this too. it is something they did to keep people from running third party programs although, since there was a windowed setting this seems to be a bit of a flaw in 14.

    Hi all,

    Anyone getting this? When I try and log into the test server I get a new window stating:

     

    Login process is running.

    If you change the screen, please press the NEXT button.

    I leave it and it flips me back onto the log in screen.

    Any ideas?

  • BenthonBenthon Member Posts: 2,069

    Atleast you guys can run your patcher. When I double click ffxivboot.exe, a black box comes up and says "FFXIV has encountered a critical error and needs to shut down." Seems like this issue is widespread reading through FFXIV Core. Really annoying.

     

    On my desktop, I've got top of the line specs and I only get 10-30fps, but atleast it works.

    He who keeps his cool best wins.

     They did said that this will happen. There's a certain number of user that can download the client at a time, and once the que is full, it will allow the next connection when someone in the que is done. They also said the same thing about logging in, if you cannot connect now, try again in 10 minutes, and so on.

     

    I understand why they put a floodgate in place, otherwise the server might just crash.


    Ready for GW2!!!
