Looks as though Aurorastar hit this nail on the head. This will go live in a matter of hours. My guess, more than likely late tonight or early morning tomorrow.

that would be nice if that were the case, but I'm not holding my breath :)
 
They already fixed the critical bug, so it shouldn't be long now.

My question is that I have a SE account however, I never recieved a beta code from SE, but I have downloaded the beta from another site. Will I still be able to login the beta without a code?

No, you need a code to login.

It won't let you chose where to install it? I've got a 40GB SSD with only 3GB free, but a nice fat 2TB secondary drive for this kind of thing.

It won't let you start up the installer if you don't have 12gb free but after that you can select where you want to dump the shit.
 
I hate downloading this damm thing. So so so slow. I've been uploading at 300KB/s and downloading at 0KB/s for the last hour. This is stupid.

^^ cool beans! Looks like we can log on tonight! Time to pick a server!

Hope they come out with information on how and if we need registration codes
 
For all of you downloading so slow, did you open the correct ports?

If you have why don't you just torrent it instead? Much faster if you're downloading slowly.

I did a torrent. Only took about 6 hours :)
 
I'm not sure if you can, to be honest, but try and get it updated if so. They've been patching it pretty much daily for the past few days, oddly enough.
 
I've been actively downloading all the new patches and I have checked my current version.

Good to go here! :) Kitty archer awwwaaay!
 
I didn't think to check my version. I was lucky enough to get the installer the morning I got the email before they took it down. It's updating now :)
 
Holy crap! I have 50 remote connections suddenly! 100KB/s! I've been going off like 7 local connections since like 2 days!
 
This is in reference to the game forcing you to install on your OS Drive.

Those who are using NTFS can use a junction or symlink (Symbolic Link) to redirect the folder to another drive. The links below kinda cover how to do it. Once I'm able to download the game, I'll post detailed specific instructions, or if someone wants to post the path the game is installing to, I can write them up. If you decide to go ahead and try, please be careful.

Told ya so hehe. But in all reality they couldn't delay this for any length of time because release is right around the corner so I took a shot in the dark on this one^^
