Alpha Stress Test Will Start Tomorrow September 26th

[Ryan Dancey]

The deployment of the update seems to have gone well. We have decided to let you Alpha players poke at it for a while before we open the floodgates. We are going to start the Stress Test tomorrow.

It's great to hear that the new systems appear to be working! Congrats to the whole Goblinworks team.

Hurray for updates working and stress tests!

Congratulations to all!

Were there changes to the log in procedure using the "Run as Administrator" operation. I am getting an error that says "Your client is not the same version as the current server."

(I'll do the whole process again in case I need to refresh all my PFO files.)

What an awesome team you have! Thank you for maintaining a dedication to a quality product. Patched and logged right in. Can't wait to see how the game handles the load from all the new players.

Don't know if this is your issue, but if the patcher itself updates, you need to choose the Run as Administrator command again.

I've just been running the patcher as Administrator every time, in the name of simplicity and consistency.

Excited about the stress test starting tomorrow. Is there a way to at least download the client so that part is done by the time I get my invitation email?

[KarlBob]

I don't think so, sorry.

I don't think it is as massive as you might expect judging from the install size of other recent MMOs. It won't be all that bad: relax, friend. It will be okay.
