Maybe it's because I'm really tired, but I'm not sure what to do from here, what do I do?

**mintyice** · 2010-07-12 11:20

Have to wait until tomorrow.

**Cream Soda** · 2010-07-12 11:21

Ah ok, so won't even be able to download the client now then?

**Gokulo** · 2010-07-12 11:21

Read other topics?

Anyway: You get access to the site on the day your designated to test and that is 13th for you I'd guess.
You can download the client earlier but need to look for it

**Cream Soda** · 2010-07-12 11:24

Oh, totally missed that part of the message. I'm more excited about finding out whether or not my computer will actually be able to play the game or not than anything else. I wanted pre-order stuffs on the game but didn't want to waste money if my computer couldn't handle it. This is perfect

**mintyice** · 2010-07-12 11:27

I'm in a similar position as you. I have no idea if I can actually play it, but this test is worth a shot.

**Eanae** · 2010-07-12 11:34

Depends on how big the client is and when it's avaliable. I have a feeling I'm not playing in either of the first two tests.

(I got on vacation Thursday qq)

Yay for retarded threads that do not need to be made. You asked this in random speculation thread and made a new thread,

**Nash** · 2010-07-12 11:39

Speaking technically, your "accounts" on the forums haven't been created yet, which is why you can't log in. The system will create them when they want you to be able to, which might be during the middle of testing tomorrow. Seems kind of stupid.

Yay for retarded posts that did not need to be made (especially considering everything else was already answered before you got here)

Negative. You have me confused with someone else.

**bolitas** · 2010-07-12 12:28

Maybe you could ask someone with access to send you the torrent file so you can start the download earlier... it took me 5 days to download so yeah...

**JustinS1985** · 2010-07-12 12:29

Yeah I was really confused for a bit with that, shows I should read the email instead of excitedly clicking links.

I'd say that's rather... abnormal. Even with my weak ass sucky connection at my home (160kb/s max and I never got that speed while downloading the client) I was able to download the whole patch in 1 day.

Hmm, well how would that work? Full torrent of all the files? I just got the "ffxivsetup" from a friend which was 114 mb. I'd assume I open that and it does all the downloading for me.

My problem though, is it requires 12gb of free space on the same hdd as "my documents" and my drive is partitioned, I need it go to on the one that has room and it's not giving me the option to install it there.

Link?

**bolitas** · 2010-07-12 12:42

Yeah its not normal for it to take such a long time but i had trouble speeding it up, i tried portforward and dmz and still nothing... anyway i wasnt the only one, i know some people who didnt even get it done before the servers opened...
