If you have the client, you have to re download a 4gb file even if you were in the closed beta. Better get doing it now before the OB starts ;p

Is it from the automatic update screen or do you have to go to a website to re-download it?

i'm just about done. got 15 minutes to go. It's from the auto updater.

There's still no news of how one gets into open beta, for all you losers that didn't get into closed ;-p

There is talk that it's a limited open and they're sending out more codes, so check your email address! Otherwise, check the SE account management site and see if you can add the service without a code at some point.

Good luck.

I'd imagine it will be totally open because I got an newsletter email from SE that said:

"Get your PC up and running, because the open beta is just around the corner! To receive all the latest updates, click on VISIT SITE and register for the official FINAL FANTASY XIV newsletter. Also, make sure you check out the latest trailer in the MEDIA section."

You keep saying the client, is that the 'Final Fansty XIV beta version'?

Did you try the beta and couldn't play or are you going off of the benchmark?

lol, majae was probably invited to closed beta and didn't know it.


Maybe, I'm so busy I hardly check emails. Could have gone in a junk folder and I never noticed. :)

However, i never was asked for a registration code.

Hah.

If you d/l it through their client, make sure you forward the proper port in your router, I had my IP in the DMZ and I wasnt getting any remote connections still. When I forwarded the proper port my d/l speed jumped up significantly. Upwards of 750k/sec.
I forget what port to forward, but it is listed in the config GUI that you can open in the start menu. Something like port 55926.

Um.. I tried the beta when it was closed still, and also the benchmark. Neither even OPEN. they crash before they open, and now that means no patches which means no open beta for me. ^^;

Well that sucks. They should at least OPEN even if you don't have the hardware to play the game.
