Beta Test This Weekend and Earn a Mount!

I have tried various locations and various mobs but nothing updates the achievement. Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone is paying attention to this thread, the beta promo achievement is no longer counting mobs you kill. Seems to have broken after the little update put in.

I had this problem too. It resets your display settings to high. Try setting it lower. It fixed it for me though it did take a few tries.

I just logged in after the brief update and nothing is updating. Things that updated before the downtime aren't updating, have tried different zones, different mobs, different levels etc, nothing is updating so far. Others in chat are experiencing the same thing.

Since the downtime tonight, I'm suddenly unable to see my character, or any other players, NPCs, or mobs. And, apparently, I'm not the only one. It was fine before, and it's fine in the non-beta game... But kinda hard to play when there's nothing to interact with.

i

isn't there a faster way to get onto beta than having to redownload the entire game every time we want to test? seems there should be an easier way. and then when i want to go back and play the regular version, i have to download it all again? wasn't a faster way discussed once?

Killed a myriad of creatures and nothing updating the achievement

Not a check that's been asked for .. but...
On live I crash EVERY time I zone to Tranquil Sea. On Beta I do not crash.

copy your Music and Paks folder from your live Everquest 2 folder to your Beta server folder before you try and switch versions:

e.g.
E:\Everquest 2\music & E:\Everquest 2\paks to E:\Everquest 2\BetaServer

This save you from downloading about 17GB of files... Just make sure you COPY and not MOVE the folders from live to beta.

so was mine. i stopped it, went in and copied the folders, then restarted the launcher and now it only has 411 mb to download

Have started a new character on Beta server, still no updates on the mount achievement. Am in DLW killing undead, wolves, etc. Not updating at all. Also Can i have the carpet that it shiows as my reward? it is prettier than the sokokar

erollis is the continent of frostfang sea. you would have to click on the downmenu and choose current zone instead of overview. not sure why you were offered greater fay and then sent to frostfang though,

Managed to get logged into beta. Kill count for the achievement to get the mount, non functional. None of my houses copied with me so I couldn't check house inventory. going to keep trying stuff

So will all of us trying to get the achievement and logging on get the mount anyways?

Copy character for me worked well with toon intact and bags in tack. However, my houses did not copy over at all. I did buy a house once there and funny thing is the items in my house vaults on live transferred fine, just not the houses. I've gotten credit for killing overland mobs. I went into the shrine to finish a quest and those mobs did not count.

Same here. I belong to a guild with a beacon. It worked one time, since then it will not work says my guild does not have an active beacon.

Seems the even flag that the achievement is depending on doesn't stick after the server bounce, we'll have to investigate to see if that is due to the changes or due to something else. The achievement should once again be updating.

got this in validation process:
*Warning: Fullscan found CRC mismatch on C:/Users/Public/Sony Online Entertainment/Installed Games/EverQuest II/BetaServer/music/zones/antonica.mp3, even though size 2,892,176 and time 1062018639 matched. Expected 25736956 but detected 1086504294.

so it is recreating it

Same problem here. I tried a new character transfer as well. Same thing.

There also seems to be an issue with some streaming assets with the most recent build that may be causing issues. We'll look into it, but make sure you validate your game files if you are having trouble with things rendering.
