A Little Help Please - I Can't Find The Sticky That Is Right The Fuck There

[byebyeffxi]

Hey guys, haven't played in forever but just watched the Tiamat solo in the media section and saw that it was done on a test server. I did a search of the forums but couldn't find what I was looking for. My question, how do you go about getting on this up and running? I'd love to jump on a test server and see how different the game is now and solo a few mobs. Thanks in advance.

Relevant question, because I can't get an anwer on the official forums, but my version of the test server just auto crashes.

I set it up exactly to spec, ran program, then copy pasted the folders over, and yes I put them in correctly. The only thing I think I may've done wrong way I ran the setup.exe file from inside of winRar, instead of extracting to a folder. But afaik that shouldn't have done anything.

Finished redownloading said zip and am trying it all again from scratch, this time extracting the zip file to a folder first. We'll see if that fixes things.
