The pretty red warning text that you are aware of issue is gone. Ya might want to put that back up. I still can't get into the game. I get as far as seeing a chat window over a black screen and a few pieces of the UI are visible.
Still can't get in either. It gets to 30.0 kb on the loading entity resources and sticks. PS. I hope Hero's Fest will be extended a few days because of this, I haven't been able to get in since Wednesday when I logged out.
I appreciate all the work Dreamweaver that you and all are doing to fix this problem. Today I did get a little farther. I was able to get to character select screen, but it than gets stuck at 99% in Loading zone resources. Hopefully another day and there will be more progress.
After hours and hours of D/Ling I finally got into the game. HOWEVER, I can now barely move without freezing up; Movement is slow and jerky. I'm hoping they will have this fixed by Monday at least. After all the years I've been playing I never tried beta. This is what I get for pre-ordering an expensive expansion thinking I would be helping out with beta and have some fun. I also haven't been able to play since Wednesday. I'm sure the Devs will fix things .... eventually.
Managed to get in after going to Advanced Tools>Select Game Version and checking (enabling) the Full download box and click Apply The DL is approx: 22gb
Once I have a final timeline on how long it will be extended yes. But we have already extended it until the 19th. The information is in the announcement thread.
Everybody who can't get in keep trying! After trying the fixes I just miraculously popped in with one character ingame that I'm keeping her game open and gonna keep my computer turned on until I find out all the problems are solved. Sure don't wanna go back to that 99% hang load problem again. My hubby got a big update to do and I don't know if he's gotten ingame yet. He hasn't tried again since the update. Hopefully he can now too.
