@Gatorez1913 The exact same thing just happened to me. The email was in my Spam folder, then I had to reset my password, and then try relogging.
It seems to have worked fine as far as I can tell. I'm currently patching now.
Their account security system definitely seems a little trigger happy. This happened to more than one person in my guild trying to download this update
Well the email is not showing up in my spam folder but this does give me hope. Thanks for the reply!
Does everyone get to start at 5am est tomorrow or just people who have played in previous betas? Im all signed up and downloading right now. Just not sure when I start.
Originally posted by sothron I didn't get a chance to be in the previous beta but I do have the game pre ordered through Square's official e-store. Am I not going to be able to play in the open beta because they aren't giving out the codes until the 20th when the beta is over?
Umm, you should have gotten your early access code the moment you did your pre-order. The code should be in the email you received after ordering the game. If you haven't gotten your early access code from Square-Enix yet I advice you to contact their tech support.

Product SKU: PC Download Product Name: FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Pre-Order Bonus Package Qty Ordered: 1 Amount: $0.00 Serial Number/Product Code: XXXXXX-XXX-XXXXXX-XXX
As for the Open Beta you had to register for one before 30th of July 2013 if you didn't do that by then you are going to have to register for one on the 17th of August 2013.
I have that email and that code for the pre order bonus after I pre ordered. However when I try to register the game using that code or in the account management it says it is invalid.

Firstly, you are not able to register that code until the 20th of August 2013 and secondly, that place you are trying to register it is the wrong place. Here is the place it should be registered at https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/ffxivearlypre?rgn=na&lng=en , but you will not be able to register it until the 20th like is said before, only people who can register it now are the Japanese pre-orders at the moment. Also, the Japanese pre-order code is 20 digits and the US/other codes are 18 digits.
I keep getting "A system error has occured: -2146697211." when I try to run the launcher after installing. I've tried the few "fixes" I found but nothing is working. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: Fixed it by turning off windows defender, then running the client... Guh, not a good start.

I'm actually pretty surprised, an almost 8 gb file downloaded in around 1 hour o.O
With 2 mb/s download speed I am really impressed.
Was expecting a slow ass download taking me days to complete.

PS3 version for North America is experiencing all kinds of problems and we have yet to download anything.

That's odd I am from Canada and I have both my PC and PS3's downloaded. I guess it's only affecting some people.

About to finish the client download in 23 minutes
No problems encountered, the whole thing was just smooth sailing.
/sigh
