Oof, what a tight timeframe. I don't have the greatest connection but I'll probably be okay...still, you'd think they'd want to give people enough time to get it.

Anyone know if some random good citizen with amazing lightning like connection is gonna make torrent files for the game? People in a few websites have been throwing that idea up in the air.. Could make downloading the game a bit faster. I did the the torrent method back in the beta phases for 1.0

Luckily I don't have to worry about the download my self. At that size though, I wouldn't be surprised if a torrent did pop up of the client.

So where would you actually download this from? The beta opens up on the 17th right? Would us non-closed beta players be able to pre-load the game in preparation or this a Phase 4 only type deal?

Link to game client download on the beta forum.

Thank you so much <3
Though apparently i'm not allowed to access these forums.

For people who have to work, it would be a good idea to remote into your computer from work, start the download, and have it ready and waiting for you by the time you get home.

So to be clear for those of us who never played a previous phase we should still download this, because it'll be patched into the proper game client/early access one? Also we just go sign up for beta on the 17th when it begins and when we get in we can just log in through this?
edit: Oh no it says I can't download because I don't have the game registered, and when I go to register it it says code registration currently unavailable? Am I boned until the 17th?

Quote:* This software can be used for Beta Test phase 4 (Final Beta), early access, and the official release once the game has launched.
Sorry if you don't have access to the beta forums
... though if you've been invited to participate and registered, it should be available to you.
RE: Phase for prep, game download? - shotgunbadger - 08-14-2013
Yea I'm a johnny come lately here, I only preordered after phase 3 and never applied for beta before then, so I guess I gotta wait?

Tear, might want to inform you that some people (including me) who used to be able to access the ARR test forum, are now greeted with
Code:
"èªè¨¼ã®ç¢ºèªã«å•é¡ŒãŒç™ºç”Ÿã—ã¾ã—ãŸã€‚æš«ã時間をãŠã„ãŸã®ã¡ã«å†åº¦ãŠè©¦ã—ãã ã•ã„。 "-error message instead, so yeah, I cannot access the forum for almost a week now.

This article on PCGamesN has a direct link to the installer for the launcher that will be able to download the client when it becomes available.

I wonder what time we'll be able to download it tomorrow.. after midnight or super early in the morning.. Well time to figure that out. >_> I would not wanna waste anytime in downloading this massive client.

So apparently the game files are only 6.4gb according to the people who have been able to start downloading the game on PS3. PC download should be available in about 30 minutes.
