I applied for this and got in, but when I try to download says I can't download directly through MSI package I have to run setup.exe. Anyone know how I can get this to work? (on windows vista if thats important)
im on vista as well, and everything seems to be going fine. open the A11203W_001.zip and extract it to a folder and run the setup.exe in there. make another folder on the desktop(or anywhere) and name it test server temp folder or something, and extract the other 3 .zip files there. after that you copy all the files from the temp folder into C:\program files\playonline\squareenix\final fantasy online test server. should be able to launch pol from there and run the test server.

all my codes ToAU and before are ps2, and wotg is xbox. don't think codes have any affect on being able to apply. they are just saying you can only USE test server on PC

as far as why you can't get in I'm not sure... make sure to read all the requirements carefully, but it may just be from too many people trying to apply at once

if you have not switched over to the new payment method you will not be able to apply.

FFXI has a windowed mode that you should be able to alt tab to the forums to send in feed back.

Just switched payment and I'm still ineligible for some odd reason despite meeting every prereq except having a job over 90.

Hoping its just the system failing to see I switched payment just now.

Edit: Using IE instead of Firefox worked for me too.

I didn't download all the files (just the set up thing) and it's just downloading things through playonline after I hit the Play on Test Server option. Did anyone else who downloaded all those files from website get POL to update also? If not, hmm... I'll let ya know how it ends >_>

Log out and log back into the forums, that might work. I just switched payment earlier (pretty sneaky stuff, SE!) and this worked for me.

I cant for the life of me remember if it's even possible, but is there a way to tell windower what program its pointed to (normally pol.exe)?

If we could change that to the new .exe for the test server, think it might work?

Edit: Windower for test server that is.

fist the POL-1400 array error BS. now after relizeing i just had to sit and wait. it pops up.

i can deal with this.

but what i cant deal with is spending hours downloading
hours updating to only get an error when i finnaly try to go to the game

getting the same stuff as kadia,

at first i thought it was my dual display setup. FFXIV dosn't like it
and caused tuns of issues in beta. so maybe that was it right?

nope. unpluged one. restarted *had to. the crash froze my computer*
and still same crash

is there a config for res windowed mode etc for test?

Yes, it's in the same place as the original client's config, except in the test client's folder.
