Unable to run

from Elemental Forums

I have run the latest beta fine but today when I tried to run it I got a message about an issue with my username and password which I had not changed as far as I know.

So I went online and changed the password and re-downloaded the whole beta and got the same error. It is asking me to put my username and password in a command prompt when I run the game I tried this and it didn't work.

Please help. Also why do I need a password and username when playing the game?

I have the same thing happening to me, but I found out that if you hit the 'esc' key when the notice pops up then the game runs fine.

It just happened to me as well.  I wonder if something changed server side

When these new betas or betafixes come down the pike, everybody starts playing at the same time, and the server's being checked.  (Username and password are being checked only for the beta, to make sure it isn't getting out all over the place.)  It's slow, and that's what happens.  Happening to me, now, too.  Just keep trying.

Just downloaded the latest Beta and this issue is happening again. Pressing esc doesn't seem to work anymore. Can anyone help I really want to try the new beta.

Do you have internet access? Need that to play the beta, but not the final release. If that doesn't work, try e-mailing [email protected]. They should be able to help.

I'm also dealing with the same issue still and unfortunately the 'esc' trick doesn't work anymore for me either :/ sent a ticket into support, though. I'll let you know what they say when I finally get a response back.

Agreed. It wasn't much of a problem before since pressing 'esc' still allowed you to play, but now that trick doesn't work. Still waiting on a response from support....hopefully this is an issue they know how to resolve T_T
