So the Open Beta of Mythos is supposed to be today, and it’s either in Closed Beta or Open Beta right now.

I was looking forward to giving open beta a go, but after downloading and installing the client (a 1GB download, I might add), I found myself unable to play the game.

It seems that some folks, myself included, are unable to run the patcher or the client for the game. Despite reinstalling the game and changing the compatibility settings for it, the game appears to be stuck with nothing more than a horizontal off-white bar to indicate that it started doing something…

AND SOMETHING HAPPENED.

Apparently, waiting eight minutes for the patcher to actually load did the trick on my end after setting the compatibility to Windows XP SP3. Not exactly an ideal solution, but I’ll take it for now. Let’s see if we can patch this up and get to testing.
