Mortal Online Open Beta is…..open!
http://www.mortalonline.com/content/open-beta
I have been trying to get in but it looks like the patcher is down. Game looks like the spiritual successor to Ultima Online. Hopefully I will get a chance to play some this week.
Update: After DAYS of downloading and re-downloading the client and patches, I have given up. I finally got it to patch to the correct version and what do I get….Invalid version, please re-install game client. I GIVE UP! I have played plenty of buggy game beta’s but this might be the worst.
If you have the time and energy, it looks like there is an interesting game once you get past the patcher but for me I am done!

I keep getting the following error: “Error: Error getting revision info auto-retry in:” X amount of seconds.
I am going to leave the patcher running for a bit. I am not sure if the servers are hammered or I need to re-download the client.
Looks like I have to redownload the client….WTF!
I am downloading this and testing it. I am also going to put it on my kiosk while it is in open beta, if it is at all compatable. I’m really looking forward to testing this one.
Good luck….I can not even get the patcher to run without getting an corruption error.
Maybe it just doesn’t work in windows 7. We’ll see. I’ll report back here when I get home and finish the download.
It works for me. What version of .net framework do you have? I am running 2.0.. Oddly enough, it gave me a few errors when I first ran it. I clicked ignore a few times, then gave it… let it close. The third time I ran it, the patcher opened and went into download mode. I’m stuck there now… 0 connections, 0 out of 449.39 MB.
I got to read the updates and bug fixes though. It really does sound like UO. I’m excited!
It is downloading now. It appears to have a bittorrent style downloader. Even though I am on comcast, I still prefer bittorrent, for its hash checking procedures. It makes for always non-corrupt downloads.
Great. Now that the patching is complete, it is giving me errors. Unable to start, check application event log…
The event log says “Activation context generation failed for “F:\mortal\mortalonline\UnrealEngine3\Binaries\Win32\NowGame.exe”. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture=”x86″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=”win32″,version=”9.0.21022.8″ could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.”
How disappointing.
Nothing but errors on install. I keep getting “Failed to Extract from Archieve” error. Looks like a bad download of the patch. I am going to try and re-download the patch and see if that works.
Through my research on the forum, I have discovered that not only is it ridiculously hard to get their patcher to work, you will also have to pre-order the game and pay in full up front, in order to gain access to the beta. Calling this an “Open Beta” is incorrect. They had me going. G1MO
