For those who are downloading atm, do we have to uninstall it and reinstall it?

Nope I closed mine and opened it again later and then it patched the patcher and then I was able to log in with no error and it was able to update.

So can I pre-load this through Trion, now that I've applied my Steam codes. Or does it officially begin tomorrow..?

It official begins tomorrow but some have been able to download it.

I am currently downloading the new client. Here's what I did and it worked:

1. Delete Beta Client/Folders/Game App
2. Input CD Key from Steam into Trion Account
3. Download the installer from the Trion Account page.
4. Logged in and currently downloading the game.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but I also purchased the Deluxe Edition through Steam.

And currently getting about 3.5mb/sec in the download, so it's pretty smooth sailing so far. Good luck to the rest of you guys!

I have just checked and have access to the download while not yet having received an email advising I can start. I downloaded the "live" launcher a couple of days ago right after it became available, no need to re download or reinstall, logged in saw the update button, bang and off it went.

TLDR; if you can login to the live launcher you can start pre load now.

Oh and anyone who is now uninstalling the beta client, make sure to check the install folder, my uninstall left the entire contents of the beta behind, over 10 Gb of files; seems the uninstaller simply removed registry entries and updated windows install information.

Excellent, many thanks!

I have game downloaded today and when I try and log on it just says wait for game on the 2nd.
I just entered my keys from steam on trion website and was able to get patcher and loader, so was able to download game with no problem.

Ya I would also like to know if you can just patch up the most recent beta client without having to re-download the entire game? Most games do this now at release, but I haven't seen any clarification.

Thanks for the good news!

I knew it couldn't be true that there'd be no pre-loading - I had hope.

Cheers.
