No I'm 99% sure thats not the problem. Its something to do with the patcher looking for files which aren't meant to be there or something. The US patcher acknowledges the US disks fine, no reason it should be different here.

hmm, after install, config file says 'early start client' then patcher changes that to 'open beta' and gets too many bad files. anyway we screwed, i deleted instalation beta, and link on official site is slow

Well looks like where gonna have to wait till tomorrow then.

I also deleted the beta client after I failed to even get it started ...my disc's arrived so I deleted the beta thinking I'd no longer need it and installed via disc hoping this would fix the missing files when it tried to patch....now instread of missing files I just get the try again later message. so fingers crossed I'll be able to play tomorrow.

Still unable to play

Well now the day is upon us that those with discs installed version can play ....but I still cant ....just keep gettin the same error wich just says please try later. I know some folks are having problems logging in ..but I've not even gotten that far yet.
I've mailed the tech guys for help countless times and I'm still waiting ...but as of yet they have not responded ...gawd I hate being ignored.
