Hey question, sorry for sounding so oblivious but what does open beta mean? Like anyone who registered with SE can download and play it?

Edit - Also, do you need to make a playonline ID and all that jazz again?

Open means Open, everyone can join in.

You need a Square enix account...

https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/login?cont=account

Then when keys become available you'll be emailed and have to Link your SE account and the code they give you. You'll then have to log into XIV with your SE account.

After making a SE account, do I have to make that service account thing under FFXIV?

You won't be able to until you have the code that is available at 7pm for you yanks.

I installed that link you posted and tried to open the file and it just crashed. Does it have something to do with windows 7?

Nope, it's some in built realtek graphic card which is pretty standard. Though I have a desktop that has Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT and haven't tried on it yet.

That's probably the reason lol. Reason I asked is because people were having issue with the drivers for ATI.

I don't see it .-. only the one that starts with a "D"

It doesn't show up under the .torrent files either o.o only H2010.08.10.2000.torrent

Hmm, well I think most of us downloaded H2010.08.30.2000 (it's 4Gb) which omitted us from downloading the other client.

Can you access the log-in screen?

kk. Well good luck. Still a few hours... I was off by an hour before because I thought the UK was GMT, but it's actually GMT+1 because it's summer (BST)

3am for me >.>

To all those playing on Windows 7. I have just been told by a Windows representative there IS NOT a windows xp service pack3.<br> available for the PC... so if you are wanting to DL files for beta and have Windows 7 you are screwed.

If there is someone who knows how to get anything other than a professional network version please post it here..

lol. I think someone got trolled.

There is a XP SP3, but that has no effect on Windows 7. For some reason your installation is seeing it as the wrong OS or something.

Mine is crashing on my desktop when I open the beta (no updates yet) so I'm not doing much better atm.

I just rolled back my graphics card drivers and manually updated them, restarted and made sure everything updated properly. Still getting the crash-on-open issue, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that if you have anything more than one series below the minimum requirements its just going to crash (I have a 7050, they're requiring 9600).

I'm downloading the August 31st client from Krizz's site in one final effort to see if it will work, but not holding out hope =/

Guess I know what I'll be asking for as a birthday gift, needed a new one anyway XD
