XIV beta, who's in?
I am.
Grrreat fun. Even without any extra Rs.

I'm in, have been since before the Alpha, but so far no fun.
Try playing any game, while defragmenting your hard drive, running an antivirus scan and spysweeper and burning a DVD or BLU-Ray disk at the same time, while compressing a movie.
That's how 14 is running on my computer right now, on low res.
(Note, it's a rig which plays most games flawless on 1080p with high settings, while running several other programs on the side, a system that I built for performance.)
It's a problem the game has with my ATI cards, SE already confirmed this.
Now they need to fix it, or they'll have problems with quite a few players.

I heard about the ATI glitch, I assume it is a high priority.
I remember that on those cards FFXI works best with older ATI drivers, did you try that?
And if you have a few bucks or euros, an nVida 9800 is ~ $100. My somewhat older system runs XIV well enough with one of those.

Somehow I can't blame you.
Edit:
If you have a dual GPU machine, I will just bet you have enough parts laying around to build a minimalist machine around that nVida card. Probably one better than my best computer.
I have XP, AMD x2 4400+, 2 GB RAM, and a 9800 GT. It runs XIV quite well enough to play. I notice some hesitation in controlling my character, but don't know it its my machine or my lack of a controller.

I just need to buy a case and I'll have a very decent second PC.
I just don't have the space for it.

They will be inviting more testers in several stages throughout the beta. I have seen several posters on the BTS forums who have been invited since the last time the servers were live.
TLDR: There is still hope.

What system are you running? Mine barely meets the minimum requirements, but I've been playing just fine. The last build was even better.Tivia wrote:finally goaded a friend into letting me use his account.
2 Beta phases have come and gone since I got it..thus far I have yet to be able to complete character creation.
This isn't beta or a game ready to release in 2 months..this is Early alpha at best..
