    I'm wondering,is anyone using the stand alone BGEE installaer like me and is stuck on "getting download info" , got windows 8 as me?
    I'm wondering if there is some kind of new setting to unlock somewhere (i'm still new to this system and still learning it). Removed the restriction from the firewall so far but can't see any other stuff that my prevent it :O

    I'm trying to install through the stand-alone version, but when I try to log in (which apparently is required to download the full game?) I get an error:
    "Verification failed due to a server error."

    i get the same thing...

    I don't have windows 8, but it's the same for everyone else as well with the installer. It's not a problem on your side.

    I can't even get into the page - 503 Service Unavailable message - I think it's pointless, we're all doomed.

    Some stuff broke'd, we're fixing it at the moment. For those of you who are experiencing "Getting download info..." still, we now have a local test case to work from and should have more news later.

    We're going to wait until we have a handle on what's happening with the stalled downloads before we send out the general email.

    Be patient, just like the ones waiting for the servers to get functioning an - the game won't be unlocked untill the 28th!

    (that's the releasedate, what you got now is only a predownload - but maybe Son_of_Imoen is answering a rhetorical question, in which case the answer is: bite fingernails for 6 days!)

    For those of you stuck at "Getting download info..."

    Because of the high volume of traffic, Beamdog.com started handing out '503' errors, which means that the server was too busy to respond to your request. As such, the installer was having difficulty downloading some necessary files from our site. The 503 errors should be largely gone now, so please exit your client and restart it. It may take some time to connect, so please be patient.

    If you are still stuck later on, let us know. We're still looking into the issue to see if some people are stuck in different ways.

    That's a stupid idea.... I'm going to go to bed instead. The sooner you sleep the sooner tomorrow comes.

    Why are you soooo eager to DL the game in like 5 minutes? You can easily wait a day or two, it still isn't playable 'till 28th -.-'

    Hello,

    I have a small problem. I updated BeamDog Client and I run it again. In section “My games” I have still “loading” (in section "store" too.)
  • PhillipDaiglePhillipDaigle Member Posts: 654
    It seems our servers are still getting swamped - we're working on them right now, but until they're fixed you'll probably see a variety of error messages.

    Anyone knows how big it is? (I mean, in MBs or GBs)

    I wish I knew, I feel like an addict, even though I still have some 5 old BG-campaigns running, I keep restarting the client to see if it can connect now. But just start and be patient said Philip, so that's what I'm doing now.
