I don't have any "Options" option on my launcher. I have "play" and the blizzard store button.

**Seerah** · 08-21-10, 05:42 PM

Not on your launcher, on the download window itself. (You can open it separate from the launcher.)

***Cairenn*** · 08-21-10, 07:34 PM

The 'missing' numbers account for those who got keys through another site and let us know, so the keys that would have been theirs got given to others further down the list.

And, there were 150 keys, not 153.

Yay

Thanks for the beta key <3 <3

Hopefully the next batch of keys for those still waiting won't take another month :S

Its about 16 gig to download the client, and just under 2 gig worth of patch data to download.

Yay, thank you WoWInterface for this opportunity!

The beta install is extremely slow, though. I got some small download (600MB or so), which I downloaded fairly quickly, but it's now installing and it's going at about 1% competition per minute. Do I have to worry about the new launcher after this, as well? =/

Vilkuu, I let it download over night but I believe after the huge download, you're done. I let it go until it was 100%. I didn't test how it worked if you started playing after it said you had enough but not all of the data.

Krahg · 08-22-10, 10:55 PM

I am still waiting, but it's really awesome to see that number was updated!

I assume it was downloading at full speed, at least it said 200 kBytes/s (I have a 2MBit connection

)

Is the guild system still bugged, so only the GM can invite?

Any officer can invite using the "/ginvite <playername>". I don't know if anything else was fixed in the last build, as my Goblin is a GM and I can't play her.

Are the author guilds still around? I haven't seen any on Lost Isles.

kandoko · 08-23-10, 04:12 PM

Yays for beta keys

,

So far I haven't seen the new launcher break 300 KB/s. Is there still the option to extract the torrent files? Since the new system seems split into a load on demand/streaming system

Muqq · 08-23-10, 09:14 PM

Just disable P2P downloading. I did and it shot up to like 1mb/s

do you experience any ingame issues? its probably just a bug or blizzard is testing the streaming technique. otherwise just report the issue to blizzard. (have seen it in some beta video's tho)

I also experience issues in game, but i suspect the reason for that is because i'm streaming right from blizz servers :/

My video card model is: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
