roughly how big is the download?
@polar wyvern about 17.5 GB atm
launcher isnt accepting my password is there a known issue?
Authentication server is down
they haven't put the servers up yet @soft sorrel
just checking, thanks for the helps π
@stable plover ah okay not too bad so, thanks
do they have recomended pc specs on this yet?
when i try registering for Apoc with my Ashes of Creation email it says this email is already registered. I didnt got an email with download instructions tho. Any idea?
kk
it tells me the same, email addres is not available ..
well im well above that
I tried the copy and paste option that forcie suggested
we are asked to make a new account with an email address that is all ready in use by our first testing account ..
and the sign up screen just says you can't use that email
ok i got the email for the alpha open testing for Apocalypse and i followed the instructions and still i haven't been able to download the things needed but when I tried to log in and download the info I got a error with my login and password info.
@shell cargo - use a different browser - worked for me
the email should have the laucher download link at the bottom
Guys I enter the account name and password on the launcher but it doesnt work
does everyone experience the same? can't we login because servers are not open yet ?
thanks
just under 23 hours I think
I started the download for the game yesterday. The download quit at about 50% completion. I've been attempting to continue where it left off, but I am not making progress. When I try to log into the launcher, it will not connect me, even though I successfully connected yesterday. How do I fix this?
It will not work until servers go live again @wise solstice
17gb
Ok cool, only 15 minutes then, thanks
Thank you
Hey. I'm new to the discord!
Hi Zell, welcome to the discord! You should go check out #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion if you'd like to chat with people
Thanks @stable plover
And they've moved the test period to 1am... rip
Yeah, 1am is rough for us guys in the UK/EU. Enjoy American Testers :p
well its fking 2 am for me ~.~
Same ...
going to be an absolute mess again to find a group 
Just bear in mind tho, it's the final testing before the open beta testing so it's not really like we'll miss out on much
18th we'll be okay time-wise π
Hi! I'm sure this question has been asked countless times before, will the open beta include the castle siege mode or is it only BR?
BR
Will the progress we get now carry over to the 16th when BR goes live for everyone? Or will the progress reset?
reset i believe (not too sure) but should be reset
18th*
is when it will release btw
so is the 18th BR for everyone or does it have all the castle siege and such?
BR is for everyone, castle siege will be tested just like BR was with alpha 1 and 2 testers and then eventually be for everyone as well
kool
i still can't download the alpha, i will never make it in time with my potatoternet
Yo how do i link my kickstarter package with my aoc account?
@crystal beacon use www.ashesofcreation.com/code-redeem to apply the kickstarter package to your account.
thx
Enjoy ^_^
I never received a code when I purchased?
same
Contact support
My girlfriend had the same issue, contact support ensure you can show proof (probably using windows snippet tool) to show your purchase on Kickstarter in the suppor ticket
Most of the time within 24 hours they reply and it gets sorted, so hopefully it'll be quick and painless ^_^
I am thinking it was auto applied to my account when I bought it
You can check if you log into your account on https://www.ashesofcreation.com/ and check your orders under your 'Account' Tab
If you can see under the 'Purchases and Orders' tab an order you placed, then you're good to go (that or the Kickstarter Backer symbol on your account page π
do they hate eu player since the test its always close to bedtime in eu
Otherwise just use the 'Support' Button on the bottom right of the website
ye i just sent support a message
@solid silo , it's just for ease of comfort on their side sadly, but hey we'll be able to play on the 18th for sure so won't miss out on anything big π
Alright, hope it works out @crystal beacon
thx for the help
No worries π
Yep all in my account plus a receipt so I am good by the looks. Thanks
Perfect, then you're all good to go bud π !
So how long until the next test starts?
1 hour 40 minutes from now
the launcher keeps saying something is wrong with my username and password, ive checked them multiple times to make sure they're right and it still persists
cool thanks, is it normal to not be able to log in if the servers are not up?
servers are down
@flat mountain that's due to the servers not being online
You can login in about 1 hour and 40 minutes
5PM PST
So yeah, Dooley π
sweet cheers
when should we get the emails if we backed for beta1 and beta2
servers must not be up yet?
Should have already got them for this weeks test @iron gorge
and servers indeed not up yet
my bad... so thought it was 5... must have set my alarm for the wrong time lol
Is the launcher tell me my password is incorrect because the test doesn't start until 5?
hello, I just upgraded from beta 1 to alpha 2, will I be able to join testing today?
Correction - it isn't telling me it's wrong. It just doesn't accept it.
Vale, if you mean like today, then no I highly doubt you will be able to
The servers are down so you cannot log
And @shut canyon You should already have en email if you're a beta tester. When did you buy the game?
in september, didn't get a mail yet
Thanks, @queen holly
Sorry I read your first one wrong, beta 1 would have been able to anyway
Sooo, I notice there's not Looking For Group channel.. yesterday no matter how i queue'd up, I was put into a squad match, and it didn't seem to appear like the voice chat was working... anyone looking for some discord squadmates for tonight??
Check all junk and spam etc
I did :(
Have you changed your email for your original Ashes account on the main website?
no, I haven't
Hmm... Maybe see if you can register on the apoc website anyway, don't have the link to hand unfortunately, on mobile. Your email should be available to use for registering a test account
first when they said beta 1 can test, I was not able to register on that site, haven't tried since last sunday tho
that was last sunday and yesterday during the test, I haven't tried
Ah ok fair enough, might be worth another go then
is that this link: https://alpha1test.ashesofcreation.com/users/register
thats the website to register an account yes
Unrecognized tester email, still
you 100% sure signed up with the same email as you bought the game with?
yes, 100 %. just checked it again on the account site on ashes homepage
Then I dont know. Sorry :/
:( thanks anyway
18th π

it feels bad I know
I bought the game end of okt and only got A2 acces like 3 weeks later
But itll all work out
Is there any other channels I access for being in the alpha test currently?
copy that
rest of us are plebeians 
Hey getting ready for my first test in this game (20 min :P) Since I wasn't able to yesterday will I be able to download the game from the client once the server goes up? currently when i try to log nothing happens, it just blanks out my info (I assume because server down.) Just wanted to pre-install.
Yeah, you can only log in if the servers are up
i registered and all but it wont log in? Are servers full?
I have the same problem. It would be nice to be able to download before the servers go up.
Can't, only works when they are up :x As far as I know anyways
Youll have to wait untill they open servers. Keep an eye on #web-maintenance
Ok thanks guys and gals!
ah so they are not up yet message said 5pm
how are the download speeds usually just wondering how long I am going to have to wait for the download when servers go up?
Fairly slow, unfortunately
@tepid depot depends on your download speed
5pm EST
Itll go live (if on schedule) in 15 mins @patent saffron
I got optical cable so up to 1Gbit/s
Should be pretty fast then @tepid depot
Oh, I do have a question tho, so I'm pretty up to date, but has Steven, or anyone for that matter, talked about the embers we got on our accounts (or some people got?) I don't know what the deal is with them.
They are just there for testing for now
So its just to test out that the cosmetics shop is working then, yeah?
usually the limit is at the other end when I download, so that is why I asked about the download speeds
@queen holly Thanks!
I do believe so. Seeing all cosmetics are 1 ember each
they will wipe before beta opens
Ok, thanks Aloe, just wanted to make sure it wasn't like something I may need to use sparingly
Everyone's just repeatedly trying to log in......
Yup and still the answer remains the same xD
Yes
saw a bunch of people stop playing games on discord and i bet they're all trying to get online lol
Keep an eye on #web-maintenance
Just gotta wait for that sweeet Steven announcement
Glad im not late then XD Itll be my first time on! π
he JUST messaged another 15min
15 min left
ikr XD
well this IS a stress test. we want to make sure servers are in optimum condition before we destroy them
he has to put on his sandals first guys
I am already stressed does that count
^lol
I think it is pretty bad planning if you can't even download the client before server goes up
It's bad planning if it was for the actual game, but this is a test before the beta testing π
All other alpha players have already got the build due to playing prior
is patcher online?
trust me when I say the client has come a loooong long way
when i try to login it's giving me red password box
Server not online yet @primal harness
Because the server is still offline
check #web-maintenance
just wait 10 minutes more
The beta test time is limited, so it means less testing if testers can't download the client before server is up
theoretically downloading also puts stress on the server... so is it really that much of a loss? π
I was hoping that download server is separate from the actual game server so we could download in advance, for those slow internet folks
They are working on the patch up untill servers go live
so they cant make people predownload it
^ That's a very valid point
Yup
they are even deploying patches during playtime so
That's a valid point, but of course it would be better if base game is readily available and then suceeding patches is game server status dependent
All i gotta say, is this BR mode plays better than A LOT of other BR's out there, and this 1) isn't even the main part of the game, and 2) is pre-beta testing. No complaints here besides wishing i could play longer each day.
You will on the 18th bud
Its becuase you dont die as fast
i am so looking forward to try this out, i have a hoard of guilds waiting for my gameplay opinion before they all jump in.
Speak for yourself, died in one shot to some crazy Arrow (or bug) in a round yesterday @queen holly
Btw guys if you want to discuss the game head over to ashes discussion
oops my bad
anyone has an stimated time when game will be fully realesed?
Is this stress test prior to 18th has NDA? or we can stream just fine?
lovely
@thick depot very late 2019
kk ty
I wanted to ask one more thing just for clarification. So if I am understanding this properly; Everything so far in the Alpha BR is getting wiped, all EXP earned in the arena during yest/todays/toms test, all items bought, everything, and then we all enter Apoc on the 18th with a clean slate and 10 weeks to earn the first set of cosmetics, correct?
Think so aye
anyone know space requirements for this build?
ty
what BR means?
Battle royale
Big Ruckus
And Apoc is launching with the Battle Royale and 200-person Cast Siege mode but not the Horde Mode?
APOC is only launching with the BR
Only battle royale for now. The horde and castle sieges still need to be tested by the Alpha 1 testers
Will the download of the game continue where it left off yesterday when it stopped at 50% for me?
Castle Sieges are coming later this month, to A1 backers only for about another month
ok, gotcha, thanks a lot for the answers
@wise solstice it should
Thank you
so what happened with the 15 minutes?
Patience young padawan
π Delays are common during development.
At some point in your life you learn that "15 more minutes" NEVER means exactly 15 minutes
2:22 AM. Man, I wanna play...
3:24am here
π©πͺ feel ya guys
@glass furnace If that isn't the truth...

Just making sure, first time here, it pops up with the log in menu and that is where we are waiting until servers?

Everytime I try to download the new launcher I get network error for downloading. How can we fix this problem? I would like to get into the game.
You won't be able to download until the servers go live. At least, that's what people have been saying
yes it does
The test servers are not live currently, but installing the new launcher isnt related to the servers
π’
This is my first time here and I am not getting very good impression. This feels like a very low budget operation with same server as game server and downloading server.
this is an alpha test bud
If you start the download and then go to downloads and press resume that worked for me @sand ether
I have been in lots of alpha tests and usually they have been planned bit better.
I will give that a try
Not sure how this can be nailed down as a "planning" issue
This one has been planned very well, Bera. The thing is, delays happen - they are a natural part of the testing process.
Keep this channel clear of commentary
@tepid depot this is meant to be a test for their servers... there are supposed to be issues.
Is it okay if we post commentary in the form of questions?
If things are easy going, you aren't pushing yourself enough
If you want to discuss the game head over to #aoc-discussion
I understand that, but this isn't the first test, so shouldn't those first tests have gotten rid of any problems related to starting the alpha test.
A lot changed since the first test @tepid depot
For example this week they started testing the questing and some other stuff. So ofcourse its going to cause issues
Where you fix one bug 3 pop up
Welcome to software development.
as a comp sci major i can attest to this fact
^ that
Please make all assertions in question format as to keep to the theme of this channel, ya dig?
That didn't work and now I don't have the game on my computer all anymore.
Hi all. Is it normal when I try to log in, to get the spinning blue dots, and then back to the login in screen to input my password again, being that the server is still down? Or should it give me something else?
That is normal while the server is down, Kane.
check #web-maintenance
Cool, thanks
@queen holly Actually the question asker was already aware of the server status. They noted so in their question.
@lament pivot I have the same problem, thanks for asking ^.^
In the last hour alone Ive read this question about 10 times
Sometimes gets a bit tiring
You're like a broken record
yeah me too π
Me waiting on servers to go live.
^^
So how do we check the server status?
...
Ohhhhh
nothing to say about this
LOL
click the thing that says #web-maintenance
i cant download the new launcher? is it available
Do you have the intrepid launcher installed?
@latent saffron What sort of error did you get trying to dl the new launcher?
online
failed - network error
nah im trying to download the new one from the email
Alright, login reported as working. However, when I try to login all I get is red boxes around both username and password after a loading circle. Problem with servers or problem with info? I checked info and it works on web portal
is it supposed to show an error message? I'm just getting red outlines around the username and password boxes
same
i am downloading
@latent saffron if your using chrome, you might be able to select the arrow next to the DL and select 'Resume'
If we are all getting the same then prob a server issue
i am able to login, but my progress yesterday was stopped at 68%, not it went back to 26%. I am hoping i can finish the download before server goes offline, otherwise my progress today will go back to sqaure 1
We are live my friends.
i cant login
Still just get red outlines here with no indication as to what happened
just get in
I'd recommend closing the client / relaunching if you've been trying since before servers went up
close launcher trought task manager
That did the trick, thanks Greypelt
What was the trick again for this error?
how do I post screenshots here?
- Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
or if 1 didn't work - Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair
@wise solstice button to the left of where you type that looks like a + in a circle
I had that issue and running the launcher as administrator fixed it
Thanks @stable plover Didnβt Work last night. Must be the earlier fix along with that.
yea... I'll try to relaunch
Only getting 25Mb/s
Is the download speed throttled? I completely understand if it is, just want to make sure it isnt on my end. I'm getting 14.19 MBPS on a gigabit connection.
I have gigabit connection too and only getting 25Mb/s. I usually get around 100Mb/s from steam.
does anyone know where these 200 embers came from on my acc?
do alpha and beta testers get it
It is common to throttle speeds server side when you know traffic will be great or resources are limited. Even steam throttles unfortunately... just wanted to make sure
They are for testing purchasing @urban gulch
tyvm
π
is the level system gonna be fully live?
Not yet. I believe will start when it goes live on the 18th
It currently somewhat functions on the test server
last question... what mode will be tested today?
Battle Royale
i meant like solo duo squads
each time i try to run the launcher it just stops at 2.86% and freezes
You can choose which mode you want to queue in, I managed to get into squads and solo yesterday
don't know if it's set to something particular
will we have to buy embers to get the higher adventure tier
Anyone else getting this? https://i.imgur.com/sElT9Qg.png
i got that one and then my download restarted
@idle siren keeps starting a message and then stopping in #web-maintenance and Iβm just here waiting to connect to game server.
how do I reinstall the game?
There is a pin in this thread I think. @stable plover posts it often.
Iβll find it in my email. One sec @wise solstice
thanks
Step 1: Close game launcher
Step 2: Open your file explorer
Step 3: In the file explorer address bar, type %programfiles% then press enter and delete Intrepid Studios folder
Step 4: Next go to %appdata% and delete Intrepid Studios Launcher and intrepid-launcher folders
Step 5: Next go to %localappdata% and delete APOC folder
Step 6: Clean directory where you installed the game
Step 7: Download the new launcher and follow the automated download process
Thank you I'll try that
Worked for me my first time through.
can i download the game now or i should wait at 18?
gah my download speed plummited like a sparrow
@tidal bronze only people currently capable of playing the game can download it currently
aight thanks
Aww, I got the decoder invalid message
any idea whats up with the IN QUEUE: 0 ?
anyone could theoretically DL the patcher, it just won't dl the game from that point without credentials
- Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
or if 1 didn't work - Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair @hardy bluff
When I go to log in the password box highlights red...been doing that since 4PM PST
Try restarting launcher @frigid sandal
@granite plinth it's possible it really reads something like 0:20 but the resolution is carrying part of it off the screen - might want to make sure you've queued for US West Squads (I don't know if the other queues are running)
How long do you guys have to wait in queue for solo usually?
Has anyone actually gotten into a match yet?
Alluring is streaming it right now
@stable plover thanks ill check it
Mine waited and then βconnecting to gameβ but never went.
Now the timer disappeared while waiting
Thanks @violet tide
I have gotten into 1. The second never finished connecting, now it's not finding matches.
Grrr my update says
"Decoder Ran into Invalid Data.
What should I do if launcher show me error "easyantycheat86 not found" ?
And than restarted ...
Can someone tell me why installer tells me I dont have valid email? Do I need to create new account?
Yes @mellow warren
@mellow warren you need to create the persistent account if you haven't already
instructions were in a previous email I believe
@brave sierra Same, apparently that is new one, no fix yet
Kool i feel like part of the beta/alpha process now lols
im still stuck on the .dll acess denied
StevenToday at 11:21 AM
Queue issues. Addressing now
i cant login
i cant repair my armor what so ever
Did you make an account for testing?
Try remapping the key in settings>input
Its cool π Embrace the Alpha/Beta experience, I forget where we are at
But likely connected to the issues occurring now.
omnish , its demonstraing repair, but nothing
You will look back and be thankful we got these bugs out ... unless your like Wildstar and ignore all your bugs.
aw yeah ... decoder issue again
Letβs see what happens after they sort out bugs @crystal beacon Keep an eye on #web-maintenance
π
@flat mountain Did you try this?
- Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
or if 1 didn't work - Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair
i was so close to winning right now, but 2 place is good too
anyone else having trouble with the in queue timer just stops counting and disappears
@crystal beacon armor can now only repair if it has actually taken damage, can't repair to 100 unless you have legendary armor pieces
yea
yes @tired fossil
i fucked it up prob have to re install
still says im ready though
same
Guys any update on how long will the packagaes on the website store will remain?
@tired fossil Yup
Anyone else experiencing this?
when i was update the game at 99.99% complete i got a pop-up saying "Access to the path 'D:/Ashes of Creation Files/EasyAntiCheat/EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll' is denied". How do i fix this?
@tough jetty The pre-order packages? I'd expect them to be around in general until sometime in Q4 of next year, monthly cosmetics just recently changed so it'll be a bit before they change again, but sometime in Jan. - no update on how long KS/SS upgrades will remain but we should get notice before those go away
How do I go around this?
@clear obsidian 1. Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
that worked
k I'll try that
@empty girder fixed it! thanks! turns out that was the only file is ended up needing access to.
@stable plover Thanks a lot,been saving money while paying for studen loans and hearing that they will stay til end of next year is a great relief.
Awesome @hardy bluff
@sharp ibex Code 22 looks new and exciting, make sure that goes into bugcrash please
now i got what ladywolfe got
@frigid whale tyvm for you help
you are welcome π
Make sure those dll files are not βread onlyβ @flat mountain @wise solstice
Can do this by finding those files in the EasyAntiCheat folder and right click to properties.
@sharp ibex general instructions on how to repair EasyAntiCheat.
In your C:\Program Files (x86)\Intrepid Studios, Inc\Ashes of Creation Apocalypse\EasyAntiCheat folder, delete the contents of that, download this, and place it in that folder:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/485183380842086420/522228888664014848/EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
Then run it and click through the repair process.
There are more subtle ways of repairing easyanticheat for some of the known issues
Has anyone been able to get into a game that has the Queue time problem?
Nvm, that helps. Lol, thanks
ππΌ
so I'm not going to get anywhere in the queue currently? π
Almost indefinitely haha @scenic flame
that was 5-10 minutes ago though! should be up any second...
Glad im not the only one with issues
still cant even get the launcher to update past 10%
everyone does
You know better than to compare real time with AoC time
Access to path...EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_x54.dll is DENIED..... What doe sthis meana nd how do i fix?
or windows time
- Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
or if 1 didn't work - Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair @gloomy berry
is queue working?
11 minutes now, I'm furious at these lies!
Lol
not really.
They said stress test. Everyone logging in immediately put the stress to the test.
Decoder ran into invalid data again, its always at different percentages sigh
do we need to close the game out?
i think so
anyone else's 1080ti hitting 95% usage on the queue screen?
i think we get an update
π³ @scenic flame not mine
@scenic flame The lobby screen has an uncapped frame rate, it's advised that you go into the settings and add a frame rate cap
Session starting
launcher keeps stalling out still, any thought? no error message it just freezes
I had to make both Anti-cheat DLL's non-read only...
but I got errors when they had issues.
Just keeps going. Guess we are still on standby.
that's the screen I got too...
me too
first time attempting to play though. so I'll cut it some slack, don't know what I'm missing...
i still got the .patcher is denied
May need a uninstall/reinstall @flat mountain
well ive tried that
Allowed through firewall?
yep
once i reinstall it again
@flat mountain .patcher denied is usually from not running as an administrator
launcher keeps stalling out still no error message it just freezes and i need to relaunch. 3 times now its restarted from 0% with no error message Already reinstalled twice
should we be queued in group again or can we do solo now?
Can solo @dapper citrus
welp now i got a different error "APOC-Win64-Shippinh.exe" because its being used by another process
@flat mountain ctrl+alt+del to get into your task manager, need to close down ghost copies of APOC
I had to restart pc when mine ghosted.
@empty girder Easier way to uninstall, clicked on the downloaded launcher exe setup and it presented an option to uninstall the game.
9:50 PM] Steven: Still addressing game server initialization issue. Standby β€οΈ
No. Maybe that is some of the update to the launcher? I don't know... this is first time I am trying to test this.
I didnβt know there was an uninstall feature. Hope it works for you. Keep me updated?
was gonna ask the same thing ! thanks for the fix
Still learning my way around here π Never used Discord before
How do I upload an Avatar here?
Go to discord settings.
Anyone know how to fix this? I get to 99.99% downloaded and I get this error. 3 times now. I've followed the instructions for clean installing ever time I've attempted to install, including different directory's.
Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
- Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
or if 1 didn't work - Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair @buoyant plinth
Meh. We all came in and asked a question that had already been answered before haha. Just how this kind of thing works.
did the connecting to game session get resolved or is everyone still experiencing this?
OMG yes! Finally!
ty
Haha. Woot @buoyant plinth
i am in loading scrren now
can anyone stream this?
access denied
if we are a tester?
Nothing happens when I click sign in on the launcher
any way to not get tagged 5 times per day when u dont even have the alpha π
access to the path C:program files(x86) intrepid studios, inc\ashes of creation apocalypse.patcher is denied
do you have it running twice?
no
@turbid sphinx anyone can stream current footage of this
sweet
@fallen hound That's usually an error from not running as an administrator
will check
running as admin and get the access denied error
i broke it
me too
@stable tangle access denied to what
Getting to about 25% and then Decoder ran into Invalid Data message, and launcher appears to automatically restart the download from the beginning. Any ideas on how I could fix this?
has someone queuued in and got into the game?
says the easy anti cheat dll
Only battleground game mode?
whats the time queueue? is solo faster than squad?
only battle royale
@lament pivot Decoder ran into invalid data is a new error tonight, I don't have advice yet
@frigid whale thanks!
Ah, excellent! Good to know!
are the achievements working? or the daily quests whatever you call it
@stable tangle 1. Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom - do this for both of the files
or if 1 didn't work
2. Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair
I have follow up advice if neither of those work
I deleted the entire game and am reinstalling seems to have cleared it up lol
when I see client anti cheat stuff, I always think "oh so that game has no server side checks and will be easy to hack"...
FINALLY IN
No achievments yet @warm oasis
Great @flat mountain My gamepad glitched when I got into my first and only match.
Just got in @primal harness
2 minute queue
turning off read only on the dll worked for me
Is the game still just BR today or have they opened up some more stuff?
I'm getting an error saying it can't find settings.json any idea what I can do
@empty girder Please make a post in bugcrash about your gamepad glitching, preferably with more detail
now it crashes right as character select comes up
I can't even login or do password recovery and when I try to register it tells me my email is not a tester email....
8th place to die by lag... damn non-US EAST cost server
have to use same email you used to purchase the game
I did
inono
@twin trout still BR, won't see castle siege until sometime between the 19th-31st and then only for the A1 backers for 30ish days - traditional MMO testing isn't publicly resuming until Q2 2019, but there's an MMO testing livestream from the devs tomorrow
k ty
@uneven wind I assume your a backer that received an email about setting up an Intrepid account, Email you use there must exactly match the email address you received that email at
I matched it all even tried caps
Gamepad was because of a third party program I use. Reset to defaults and remapped. @stable plover. Update: I posted it anyway.
@empty girder ty
How long has everyone's queue times been on average?
My question is when do we get to play the RPG part of this MMORPG I'm kinda tired of playing Battle Royal
Extra long right now.
Still deploying hotfix. May be related.
@stable plover posted an image with the different testing stages and timeline in the pinned messages.
how long does it normally take to 'Connect to game session'?
@hollow turret
Traditional MMO testing resumes in Q2 2019, Castle Siege testing starts late this month for A1 backers only (followed by everyone about a month later)
anyone got the "delete all this stuff" list for reinstalling?
There's an MMO testing focused dev livestream tommorow
Haha. One moment @dapper citrus
Step 1: Close game launcher
Step 2: Open your file explorer
Step 3: In the file explorer address bar, type %programfiles% then press enter and delete Intrepid Studios folder
Step 4: Next go to %appdata% and delete Intrepid Studios Launcher and intrepid-launcher folders
Step 5: Next go to %localappdata% and delete APOC folder
Step 6: Clean directory where you installed the game
Step 7: Download the new launcher and follow the automated download process
When queuing which do you choose solo or squad.?
thank you sir!
@feral lark They had a series of squad only tests, I don't know if solo queues are reenabled or not
I'm in a Solo queue currently, but it's at 15:30 so far
Had one game, came 4th, got a few kills, was fun, one question though, the legendary quest path, is there aw ay to unlock that?
this might be a stupid question, but did the team make every texture and object by hand. Or are there templates in the unreal engine they can utilize?
Anyone get this error?
6th evenI think, half asleep here, 3.45 :/
@proper kite yes delete that and the 82 file
uncheck the read only file
sweet thanks π
np
@proper kite 1. Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom - do this for both of the files
or if 1 didn't work
2. Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair
I have follow up advice if neither of those work
short question, how do i get the legendary pass?
welp left the game tried to come back in and now its saying it cant find the easyanticheat_x86.dll
would running that anti cheat software in the folder fix this
Yes
DAMNIT lols made it to 80% this time before i got the error
And back down to 1%
It only took an hour π
I have the decoder error too
i got to 99.99% then got the access to some dll denied
well running the anticheat didnt fix it
Go to that folder, right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom
brick
thx hoffi
anyone have a settings.json in the easyanticheat folder i can dl?
you are welcome
Is the only thing you can queue up for squads?
How do you get the legendary pass?
@stable plover posted above @heady sequoia
If you need to replace parts of easyanticheat, download this and place it in the easy anticheat folder generated by APOC, deleting the existing contents of that folder:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/485183380842086420/522228888664014848/EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
Then run it and click through the repair process.
i still am missing the anticheat_x86.dll
@flat mountain @heady sequoia
Is there a chance of Fencing type swordplay or abilities? @idle siren
Everytime I repair it doesn't add any files? Its in the easyanticheat folder
delete the whole anti cheat folder and then repair?
Delete what is in the folder and download the file he posted.

Click on that attachment link βπΌ
so i got to download it and now in game but just stuck in que is there anyone on?
Whenever i search in squads my timer goes invisible after a couple of minutes
Same @covert barn
anybody have their queue timer disappear while in queue?
anyone know why?
Still doing hot fixes.
Also previous i was stuck in Connecting the game session for close to 10-20 mins
Keep an eye on #web-maintenance
well its nice to see the numbers of players highlighting issues
Just the .dll files if someone finds those useful
π
i deleted both files then restarted launcher and it finished so that worked for me
the easyanticheat .dll files
I didnt even get to play one single game, and i have been here for the past 7 hours
this was stressful
Well, another day of staring at the launcher and crying softly rofl
Someone is going to have a fun time debugging a program π
so that was short
dumb :/
Servers are offline
ahhhh what? i just got back π¦
π the unfortunate part of testing, bugs!
Hi guys just checking in .. hows the game so far?
I just want to make sure, I can't get past the username and password. Will it not let me login while servers are down? I just want to make sure it isn't something I am doing wrong lol.
Correct
All servers are down, that includes log in servers
Alright cool, thank you. Now to hope for more times than what was listed in the email. I work during every single time frame π¦ I got happy when I saw that the testing got pushed back two hours as I would be home in time for at least an hour of it lol. Oh well π
when i tray and update the launcher it says the anticheat.dll is denided how do i fix that?
What am I doing wrong? I can not log in and the game is not downloaded
Is it too late to donate on Kickstarter?
Yeah by like a year and a half, sorry
Oh lol
I mean.. if you go to the Kickstarter page, the project is closed, but why bother, right? π
I just bought the A2 backer pack yesterday, how/when will@I get my invite to the test?
I believe you wont be on the email list for BR testing, though you should be on the castle siege testing if the list hasnt been made yet. (if it has, you can send them a ticket that you purchased the bundle so that they would add you to the list). BR is being released on the 18th so no point sending a ticket for that.
Oh ok, how I do I send them a ticket?
I'm in the UK, because of the timings for when the server are up I can't help but be asleep before they are online. If I don't test this round would I be able to in later tests? if it starts at normal time I should be able to tonight at least
@frozen tangle Apocalypse will have an Open Beta starting on the 18th and will have EU servers available.
! 1pm PST! thats 22 i eu right ?
@solid silo I believe itβs +9 hours
Thought testing is allegedly up at 3pm PST tonight?
PST is 8hrs behind GMT
Im East coast and itβs +3 and i think Europe is +6 from me
9pm GMT
Do we know if reshade/sweetfx will be allowed?
@crystal beacon tonight's livestream, 9pm GMT
Ah ok, thanks! @faint fjord
Is the beta for apocalypse this evening under NDA?
Hey I bought one of the my.com packs, when can I access the game?
and how
<@&257269635559194625>
What do we know about pvp rewards so far, except dropping portions of materials and corrupted players losing their equipment? What makes people want to engage in pvp instead of avoiding it?
Hello, is it possible to log in to the Ashes launcher right now?
So there is no possibility to download the game right now? I haven't noticed email ealier and missed yesterday ;
So nobody knows the answer to my question? xD
Ok thank you
@steady ermine I guess it depends what package you have, for the packs directly from Intrepid you can check from which part (alfa/beta one two etc) you will have access and there is planned scheme for that somewhere to find
kk thx @rancid field
Hey quick question, i just got the invite and i just made a new account for the alpha, now everytime i want to log into the laucher it says my Data is wrong
so i cant even see if i set it up correctly?
Cause i keep getting Claudflare errors on the alpha log in page
and i dont recieve any password reset emails
CTRL + F5 and check if it solves, can be a cache problem
nvm then
that also popped up when i created the account so not sure if it even went trhough
Attempt to use a different browser/incognito mode or even a different device
the problem is on their end, just keep trying
ok
Anyone running on laptop?
Does anyone kniow how long it takes until a discussion on the Forum is "approved" ?
Sometimes the bot gets stuck, there is no in-person screening. Just wait and it will eventually clear the backlog. Vanilla is freeware, it has issues.
Thanks
Notify me about the perfomance on laptops too, i really need to know
Oh are they any reccommended specs out there btw? Now that I see this
For laptops? Not specifically. For desktop, they use GTX 960s in-house to run the game. I think thatβs their current recommended minimum
Assuming your CPU isnβt the bottleneck
Really? They use the GTX 960??
For their min, yea
Intrepid uses a variety of GPU's, occasionally they'll say what GPU a particular video they put out was made with
They definitely have some beasts too when they want, haha
@crystal beacon AoC doesn't have set minimum or recommended requirements yet - Here are some personally suggested minimums (These are mainly applicable to the current BR testing) - Windows 10, older versions may or may not work, with I think not being more common, a GTX 960, anecdotally some people with lower cards have been able to run the game but the 960 is what Jeffrey once said in an interview (Intrepid seems to be going with that not having been an official statement) - In past tests AoC has used about 8 gigs of RAM on it's own, but it's quite a bit down from that atm - installing the game onto an SSD seems to help so something like 17.5 gigs (currently just for the BR) available on that
Well the performance optimization seemed pretty good already when I played. I was surprised about how smooth it ran on my end
I'm running a 6700k, GTX 970 with 16Gb Ram DDR4, SSD
That's sufficient for playing on "good" Settings ?
@crystal beacon That's probably not max settings, but it's not minimum settings either
6600k, GTX1080, 16GB RAM, SSD on my end and I play with everything set to max
nice thanks. the 1080 is quite more powerful tho
but it's a long way up to 2019 release π
I think the 970 is on par with the 1060?
1060 is around 10% more powerful but it's alright
Er, yeah. Itβs 12%:
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-970-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/2577vs3639
How could a i3 6100k, 940mx, 4gb ddr4, 1tb hdd could perform i wonder
@tidal bronze not that great tbh
@tidal bronze keep in mind that the game and servers are not optimized so a not that good of a performance is normal at this stage.
I am well aware of that. There might be a chance where low end users like me would play this game at lowest settings. 30fps peak is fine as long as i would never get 1 fps when the game is released
how many hours till stream?
3 hours
Anybody knows what EU time servers will be on?
Use this to convert times http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/ - expect times listed in email but check this discord for updates
Sorry, if I ask something... Would be the german Language are availible in Game(Quests, Menu,etc.)?π€
Probably not for awhile after release
thx for your Help π
I feel dum :c
π
does server are online?
@round walrus not yet, no.. You can check server status in #web-maintenance
Haven't played in a while, anyone able to tell me if the games changed much?
alright thank you
or still just the same BR?
@simple ether you have changed.
@merry mantle omg yes, graphics and Motion are 1000x better Qing is much faster. Much more polished than 2 weeks ago
Will it still starts at 12 AM ? Or did someone hear something else?
Because this time would fit me and i could finally test it π
what starts at 12AM?
(European time)
yes
I mean if the servers are up then again or if they announced somewhere else another time
Thanks π
no word so far to change what has been said about tonight's test
but expect minor delays
When it is again?
@round walrus ?
the link to register is down: https://alpha1test.ashesofcreation.com/users/login is it meant to be?
its sometimes down. It gets fixed when they have time to fix it
fair enough
Stream today in 1:30h
Ight! That was my question, sorry for my bad sentence , am not english
When I'm trying to log in to the launcher it says nothing and it all flashes in red, like my account doesnt exist or password is wrong. But when logging into the webbrowser in the link I recieved in my mail, it works... Any solutions? Tag me if you're replying π β€
@dapper vine needs game servers to login with launcher. they're not up, you can find out in #web-maintenance
Aaah, that's why I guess lol
website is hosted by a 3rd party, game / launcher is hosted by intrepid themselves
what time is the stream btw?
in 1 hour
1pm pst 4pm est
unless you already own a KS or summer package and didn't buy the Intrepid pack when they were available you're boned I'm afraid
Danmit
I'd suggest you get A2 access while you can
it will be a pure mmo experience all throughout
Thats Q3 right? Thats set and all?
set as set can be a year in advance π
Hey guys, just joined Discord, hello
I am an original backer, I got the Beta phase access
When is Beta starting? Is there a page I can see the test timelines? Thanks
beta is late next year
Q4 2019 is estimated time atm
ah, is it :)
been getting emails from Intrepid - got all pumped - for no good reason then ahaha
thanks, will bookmark that
So it can be set a year in advance? How does that work? Its almost january already xD
In advance means earlier, right?
they have a rough estimate of when they will release the game, and betas have been worded to be "short and sweet" a week or so long each, right before launch
I don't suppose you could buy Alpha access anymore?
you can buy Alpha 2 access
Can be as early and late
with the Voyager preorder pack
oh yeah, you can
just saw at the end of their email
let me look into that and make my wife pissed off for buying more games
thanks !
yeah, Alpha 2 will set you back 250 bucks
dammmnn son!
so Q3 is rough, as it can be even quicker or later?
@inner jacinth
If you have a KS
You can upgrade it to the Alpha 1 Access
@boreal abyss what's a KS?
Kickstarter
ah, of course
Kickstarter and I'm guessing he doesn't
yes, I do
I bought whatever the package name for 150USD a year or so at KS
sec
you need to upgrade it to braver of worlds to get Alpha 1
Alpha Phase 2 pack that
500 bucks - what you spent
You need to spend 250$ to update to Braver Pack to get Alpha 1 Access then
or
500 - Whatever your pack price was
Pioneer
Invite to Closed Beta - Phase 1
1 Additional Month of game time (3 Total)
Character name reservation - 1 Name reservation
Kickstarter Exclusive - Obsidian Stallion
Kickstarter Exclusive - Falcon pet
Kickstarter Exclusive - Character Pioneer's cloak
Kickstarter Exclusive - Freehold appearance bundle Tier 1
Access to in-game Chat Emoji pack - Tier 3
Additional character creation customization options - Tier 3
Unique "Pioneer" forum badge
Unique in-game character title "Pioneer"
Plus all previous rewards!!```
that
100 usd I spent
so if you want Alpha 1 access, yoy need to spend 400 to upgrade π
that is pretty crazy stuff
how can they justify these prices, I wonder?
ooh baby you're looking at a 400, you're gonna have to sell that as the best damn investment your household will ever make digitally
They have been like that since KickStarter
and how:
The game time, skins etc
500$ is worth it especially if you will play this game
since the 500$ KS includes "Forever free gametime"
as in, don't have to pay 15$ amonth
tho you need to play for almost 3 years to "save" that amount
Caveat is that you have to play for 2.5 years to make it "worth" the investment
hahah
I did play wow for like 5-6 years, so that would me a good thing IF the game turns to be exciting
I paid 500$ for my preorder pack, for that one skin I wanted 
I spend 150 ish bucks on the new CoD game that just came out, played 20 minutes
never again π¦
was too late for KS T_T
The people that got the lifetime sub also took a huge risk, which could pay off, or not
Risk vs Reward? π
exactly
huge risk, huge reward
yep, imagine the savings if the game runs for 10 years
but justify prices, there's no need
its worth what you think its worth, if its not worth 500$, don't buy that price π
exactly
now, if I decide to upgrade my KS, how do I do that?
do i need to talk to Intrepid support?
nope
sec
thanks!! much appreciated gens π
will look into that
400 bucks thou... :p
what
avatar of the phoenix
10 grand?
surely it comes with 10 hookers for a whole weekend in vegas
π π
oh, there is a Las Vegas party ahha
8 people bought it
sick
So if I have a $143 alpha phase 2 access pledge should I have already received invites to this test and previous tests? I've received no invites by email, yes I checked junk/spam. I also submitted a ticket on Dec 2nd and replied to the generic email response a few days later and still today have heard no response...
Did you register an account with that Kickstarter pack linked?
So I bought a cheaper kickstarter originally and then upgraded in Seotember
Just in case you should add these 2 emails
community@intrepidstudios.com
support@ashesofcreation.zendesk.com
as known contacts to your email contacts list as often times responses may go to spam or even be blocked entirely by spam filters
I checked for that
Did you add them to your contacts.
I had emails in my regular inbox so didn't have to
From those
Doesn't feel good giving dev's $143 and getting 0 replies in nearlyn2 weeks
Dont know what to do
Regarding the invites, theyre going out in waves so you may or may not receive one
Apocalypse goes free to play on the 18th however
Currently Intrepid Support has a lot of tickets to go through so wait times are over a week long
Yeah I'm not making a new account that's ridiculous
you do not have to make a new account.
No one told you to make a new one? 
While I understand it, they could have made it a priority to catch up before launching this BR test
So just use my login on the apocalypse site?
The test accounts are only for people with access to the testing currently
Wait for the 18th and you just have to use your normal ashes of creation account
Yeah I dont think my I have testing access which is the problem
I should
I know all alpha 2 were invited to the last test
Not me
Anyways just trying my luck here, thanks for your attempt to help.
Im sorry I cant be of any more assistance, best of luck to you
I have not tested yet, yesterday was 1st chance but issues made it to o late for me π¦ For tonights will I have to repatch/reinstall anything (i never got to download the game at all) ?
While a complete reinstall is unlikely, youll have to wait for that information from the devs which will be posted in #web-maintenance
-wont need to re-install as i have not installed-I think i meant re-install launcher. Dunno since ive donr no testing yet
Unless theres an issue with the launcher that shouldnt be necessary but its entirely up to the devs and the client working properly.
Hello team, I have dificulties with test account creation process. Every time I tried to register I have a error 502 (bad gateway) or timeout.
Just keep trying until you get a successful request
Ashes is Streaming live now. βπΌ
Try clearing your cache, running it in incognito or running it in a different browser. It can takje multiple attempts.
But it schould not impacting the registaration process...
I tried that, It looks like web server issue . keep trying
Can someone please give me a link to trouble ticket?
So I've been trying to login to the test all day and every time I type in my username and pw it loads for 20 or so seconds and then nothing happens, anyone know what's going on?
The same, however finally completed. Now I have problem with login via luncher. Nothing happend
Still Cant play, i get this when i want to registere
keep refreshing
I made an account but once i submited i also got that screen so i dont know if my first try even went trhough
when i try to log in i got the same thing Aplie has
why do all the male costumes look feminine? look at all of the collars that flair up. Do we have any more manly costumes? Like vikingish lol
I had the same, after refreshing several times I made it finally π
Please post questions for the livestream in #522880897632960553
Hey there, ive never done the beta, got the email about doing the beta, downloaded the laucher... used my username and nothing happens? any idea? i dont think the game ever even downloaded
@winter carbon Servers aren't up atm - #web-maintenance status should announce when servers are up so you can dl
@stable plover server status should just be above this channel π€¦πΌββοΈ
ohh. thought it at 3 today! must have missed that
@winter carbon itβs in alpha phases those are rough times even finished games have extended maintenance. If the servers are up trust me you will know from the notifications
@junior ore Cool thanks, i had forgot all about this game until i got the email a few days ago.. apparently i backed the project.. haha. figured i should jump in and check it out.
How can I post in Creator Content?
You have to become a βcertifiedβ content creator
is it gonna be stress testing soon?
3 hour Delay #web-maintenance
Wel, waited for nothing so late as an europian. sucks lol
a question idk if its been asked
Is there skill combos? like if a Arrow goes through fire
you mean will environment effect skills? not sure thats comboing?
that and/or can other players skills effect each other
@junior ore how can i be certified?
@tulip hatch ^^ help me out here i cant remember or find the info/link xD
Hey just got back from out of town and I am trying to make my account for the stress test this evening, keep getting redirected with error 502 when I click on the link in my email, is the site down or am I doing something wrong here?
oh heres the content creator link https://sites.google.com/view/AshesofCreationContentCreators
@bronze tide Probably due to high load
Try refreshing your cache by pressing CTRL + F5
@tulip hatch ty and saved β€
or using different browsers/incognito mode
@tulip hatch Thank you!!
Youre welcome, good luck with the application
@hidden crane guess it must be high load, none of my other browsers or incognitos would work. Will try again later.
Cheers
Can't download the installer at all, been trying all day.
"Failed - Network error"
@copper obsidian #web-maintenance the installer and patcher are being updated
OK so not today then
In 2:48h perhaps
thank you
where can i download the game ?
If you were invited to test, the instructions would be in your email. If not, then wait for the 18th.
Is it the same password and user ID from before?
quick question. I have an account on the ashes of creation site as being part of the kick starter backers. Do i just log into the test using that account. Or do I have to make a test account?
In how many hours will the game open? It's 1:16am here and I'm getting tired.
i think my email says 1 hour and 20 mins
I got one already and luancher is downloaded and installed since 2 days ago
can we only log in to the launcher when the servers are up?
1 and 40*
^
i keep getting an error when i try and make a test email. guess it was not meant to be
test email?
You tΓΆnt use test email. You use the same email you registered with
You use a test name
But not until the Servers are up #web-maintenance
kk
Can anyone else login? or are we all locked out until 6pm pst?
47 minutes more right?
I got a question about Pre-Order Pack's, when you get game time with it, does the game time count out(spend) from the official release of the game or does it start counting down already from one of the alpha/beta test phases? Keep up the good work! π
Good question! You made me curious about that aswell now
It wont start count during alpha/beta, that's for sure. I wonder if it'll start immediately upon release or if you can activate it whenever you want (Probably the later)
Ibelieve Game time will begin at official launch
Yeah! π I think its an amazing deal, but not sure how amazing haha! π
So if I'm away at work when the game launches and I'm gone for all my 3 months that was included in my kickstarted pledge.. Booho they're gone and the gametime was wasted?
