What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Cannot download beta!

I've spent every hour since release of the beta downloading the client two different times. Both times the download completed, but the ZIP file was corrupt. I downloaded both times from recommended sources (fileshack, then gamershell)

So I've just wasted 36 hours and almost 14 gigs of bandwidth. Oh, that's another thing. The supposed size of the client is over 6 gigs, but mine comes down complete as 5.4, and then when I open with WinRAR (zip refuses to open it at all, saying its invalid) it comes back as 1.4 gig, Unexpected End of Archive.

I am trying the torrent now, but it is painfully slow. And I am on fiber optic.

So far, so bad, Cryptic.

Edit: Oh, and the 6.15 GB client (as listed on most download sites) which comes down as 5.4 GB on my PC, is being listed as 7.65 GB from the torrent tracker.

    I have the same problem, downloaded the client overnight, it now won't unzip, saying the file is invalid or corrupt. Gonna try to download again, see what happens, from a different source but if anyone has any other advice, it would be appreciated

    I live in Hawaii, so the Interwebz is already crappy out this way... it took me over 2 days to finally get a good download. Fileplanet finally worked after using the 'Download Manager' I am glad I was able to get the full 7.8 GB file even with a 30min+ queue time before I could even start the process (I refuse to pay a website just to download a beta file).

    I patched the game and noticed the emergency maintenance, I will be waiting to see if I can log in later tonight.

    ALOHA!
