 I believe it's a bug. In FFXI, you can't even Alt+Tab and there's no window mode. It seems like they have not finished their virtual containment cell. :P

 

There is a window mode for FFXI in the configuration.

This happend to me also but its because I got spitscreen with my LCD tv, and that I chosed wrong display. After I changed it worked fine.

Got exact same issue here. Let's hope this will get resolved soon. Might be just that they are being overwhelmed with new registrations. So the registration system might be a bit swamped. Just give it some time.

I'll let you know when and if I get in in a little while.

Duh! Just now saw your fix. Thanks man, I'm in now as well.

I enjoy the fact that I'm uploading at 100k b/s but downloading at a stellar 0k b/s. :/

Just what exactly am I uploading, when I have 4% downloaded? lol

Yes.

1. Install a Bittorrent client such as uTorrent.

2. Start up the Beta client and see which patch file it's trying to download, exit out of the patcher.

3. Go to My Documents\\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\metainfo\

4. Double click on the .torrent patch file with the same name as the one the Square-Enix updater was trying to download.

5. Save that .patch file to \Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch\

6. After the torrent download finishes start up the beta client again.

7. ???

8. Play!

I have been downloading for 8 hours and I am at 7.2% of the first of seven files.  The upload is going much faster than the download, surprise surprise....  This is brutle, I hope by tomorrow morning I have better results.

 Yeah, their torrent seems really pathetic - I let it run all night the first night and it got to about 80%.  Re-started the next day and since then, through many hours of attempts, it's now up to 88% - on 1 of 7.  Not worth it.

Besides - it looks like they've decided the "open" beta is closed now - suspended issuing registration codes.

I might try back again in a few days to see if some of this is due to massive "me first" wave of people or something - not sure how much effort I'll give it though, given some of the discussion in other forums about it having some seriously unfriendly UI for mouse/keyboard users. I'm not getting a console pad for a beta trial. (that's presuming they even open up the beta again and start issuing more registration keys.)

So far - this is flunking on all counts for me. But the desire to sample anything different is strong.

I'm in the same boat. 20 hours later, and i'm 13.5% done. At this rate it'll be a week before it's done.

i am too, 28ish local connections but no DL at all, at 94.8% with (one second) remaining according to the launcher timer (it's been one second for over an hour)

Currently Playing EQ2, TERA
Liked but retired: EQ1,SWTOR, FFXI, WoW, POTBS, Aion, L2, Eve, Rift, atlantica, Darkfall, though i felt it needed tweaks
Looking forward to: World of Darkness, TERA, Gw2, Titan

Recommendation of a game you probably haven't tried: POTBS, Atlantica, L2
