Heh, wouldn't have anything to do with the wonderful patching system, would it?

Actually no because I can't get that far I'll leave it at that before risking the NDA too much.
Unless you're already playing the beta somehow, you aren't bound by the NDA yet. Any information you have access to without a key is not subject to NDA, especially considering the client is available for public downloading.
Having said that, I'm still struggling with the client. Two days of patching, and it's still at around 70%. I certainly hope this issue gets resolved, and future patches don't take this long. I thought the patching system for WoW was a joke, clocking in at around 12 hours for the larger patches, but this blows them right out of the water, so to speak.

Well my problem is that after installing the client and trying to run it I get an error saying it can't locate a needed DLL even though the DLL exists in one of the TCoS subfolders. I've uninstalled/reinstalled several times, to the default location as well as custom locations, but I get the same error every time. I've searched around a bit for info on that DLL and it seems to be a relatively common error for various applications, but I haven't found a fix for my situation. I tried adding a PATH entry for the folder where that DLL resides in the TCoS folders, but that didn't help either.
Basically I'm stuck for now so I'll just have to wait to for the joys of problematic patching

EDIT: 226/250 - come on people
There is a website somewhere that has an archive of old DLLs used in common applications, available for download in situations like this.
It appears that the first of the two is temporarily down, perhaps for maintenance or whatever. The latter link has detailed instructions with each file on how to install it.
I am gonna cry........ 16 more left and its been very slow. By this rate, they will cnacel them out and add 16 new names. Then the wait resets.........

That's what I've been afraid of, too So then out of the next 16 you get maybe 8-10 confirmations, but after 24 hours they reset again and send out say 6 more, then another 24 hours, etc.
/sigh
Yep I know we're just whining now, but hey I can't help it. We wanna get moving with this
Could anyone tell me if there is another Beta Client download mirror besides the fileplanet one? Cos I've no fileplanet Acc and don't want to subscribe...

BAH! this is killing me...its saturday morning and i still have not recieved an email for the download =( I have been waiting to try this game for some time, and simply can not wait to play this beta HURRY U GUYS.... CLAIM YOUR KEY SO THE REST OF US CAN PLAY!!!!
Well we're down to 8 spots left. 8? They could just send out 20 emails and take the 1st 8 to respond, though it might be a bit cruel to the 12 that weren't quick enough on the draw.
On a somewhat related note I strongly suggest for those of you who haven't done this yet, head over to www.tcos.com and near the bottom of the page in the left side menu there's a Scrolls section. This is a great way to get better acclimated to the Spellborn universe. The Scrolls are interactive fiction - basically choose your own adventure style stories with you as the main character and through the process you get the background lore, feel of the world and an idea of what the game may be like. Fun stuff
Yep that's the link and nothing's changed since I last looked, bah! I think it's time I go do something else with my weekend and stop watching this particular water that never boils
