[Elizabet]

Still can't fix this one regardless of what I do it seems. Anyone had that and fix'ed it. I'm running out of ideas.

Same issue here.

[Elizabet]

I also get an occasional error 11018 too. (file access error while check.)

Fixed it, I had a friend email me files stored in documents / my games... folder that doesnt come with the installer.... :/ Started downloading.

I had these errors like two patches ago and the solution was as simple as rebooting the PC and trying again.

According to SE, there are currently many issues that will cause the client to crash if your PC has been running for a long time. My PC never shuts off and this was my problem.

I restarted and ran a system disk check. This time I almost finished before I got those errors again. Consequently, 99.2% is where I have to start re-downloading the patch every time I try this, and it takes forever to get that last .4%.

Okay, I went back through and tried full screen which didn't work. Realized I had no idea if I had updated the drivers for nvidia/directx, but even after that I still can't get past that blank screen. Any last ideas before I do a full delete and start over?

Does your GPU meet the minimum requirements?
I know you have tried to run it without full screen. However, just for fun, try adding fullscreen=false to the end of the target path for the shortcut

I'm having the same problem as Taco, except I see the little warning and SE logo and then it just goes black, although I can still move around the cursor in the window. I meet minimum specs so no idea what's going on, unless my install is screwed up somehow.

EDIT: Fix'd, turns out the ffxivgame.exe that I downloaded to replace my incomplete one was out of date. Got one from my friend and it runs fine.

In response to the 11023 Error. Finally figured it out after I've tried everything possible. (For me at least)

I run PeerBlock (PeerGuardian), disable it, version check worked fine after that. PeerBlock was just f'ing with it hardcore.

I keep getting "This program cannot be used by it's self"

Restart your computer, then try again.

Every time I try to run the client I get an error saying it has stopped working. Has anyone been able to solve this problem? I understand them not giving tech support during the beta, but how can we test the game if we can't get it to work? -.-;

This worked for me too. Program is starting to download the updated files.

[alienmonkey]

forgot to mention also portforward 55296-55551 or the files will never start downloading

To add to the questions here, I finally got past the problem above me and now I'm running into this problem. I can put in my SE ID and password, the window opens and this is it:

SE logo won't flash, nothing will happen. Any ideas? Was attempting to test it on my other laptop to see how well it would run the game this phase, but I can't even launch the game.

Im having the same problem, i've looked through the XIV website for answers, but all i see are questions only. If anyone has been able to fix this issue lemme know.
Already tried changing resolutions/fullscreen-windowed mode and still nothing

I'm using Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset

Integrated graphics? Assuming underspeced?

I'm also getting this. I was able to install, get the updates, and play the beta just fine for 1 day. Then, it stopped working - everytime I would try and open the beta client, the box went black and windows automatically said "This program has stopped working" and it crashes. I did a fresh reinstall of the beta, still no dice. However, I chalked it up to my several problems:

1) I am using Bootcamp Windows 7 on an intel iMac.
2) The Windows 7 version is bootleg on top of that.
3) It only broke after Apple did a software update (Apple installs its drivers for Windows if you use a dual boot, then uses a software update for new versions.)

I figured it was something to do with my ghetto rig setup, but I guess other people are getting this problem, so I am not too sure now. I'm not so concerned because I just bought parts to upgrade my PC; I just wanted to test out if my Mac could play the beta. I only hope this doesn't happen to me again on my new PC build.

Ah, anything integrated is going to be underspeced. Doubt you'll be even able to play the game even if / when it gets optimized with that thing. Someone more tech savvy can probably explain further.
