A: Darkfall's official download is available through torrent.

Download utorrent and then open File->Add torrent from URL and paste :

"We’ll open up sales of a limited number of Darkfall copies tonight European time Tuesday March 3d. We will try to repeat this every weekday until the extreme demand slows down and we’re able to leave the shop open 24/7. To answer the questions of how you can sell out a digital download, we’re throttling the number of new players in the world to limit queue times and protect the user experience. Server optimizations first and adding new servers in time are the steps we are taking to improve this experience.

From our launch experience, the extreme demand caused the account management infrastructure to lag and often time out. The hammering of the system by the users made things worse. Repeated attempts by users led to charge failures because of bank security rules. Incorrect billing information also led to failed transactions.

We expect the account management system to face extreme demand today as well. In order to try to avoid the issues we describe above, users who refresh before timing out, open multiple windows or tabs, and hammer the system will be temporarily blocked. Please do not refresh unless you have timed out or you will lose your place in the queue."

Q: Where can i see server status?

A: http://www.eu1.darkfallonline.com/news

 

Q: I get an error 14001 what does it mean?

A: goto C:Program FilesDarkfall and then double click vcredist_x86.exe 

 

Q: Can i play darkfall from Europe only?

A: No we are in 2009 AD now.

 

IMPORTANT: Check if your Cpu supports the SSE2 Instruction set.

Q: What does the SSE2 message mean?

A:  It means that darkfall does not play on PC's that don't support the SSE2 Instruction set.

CPUs supporting SSE2

AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc)

AMD Phenom CPUs

Intel NetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc)

Intel Pentium M and Celeron M

Intel Core-based CPUs (Core Duo, Core Solo, etc)

Intel Core 2-based CPUs (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc)

Intel Atom

Transmeta Efficeon

VIA C7

VIA Nano

 



Notable IA-32 CPUs not supporting SSE2

SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture. Therefore any architecture that does not support IA-32 does not support SSE2. x86-64 CPUs all implement IA-32. All known x86-64 CPUs also implement SSE2. Since IA-32 predates SSE2, early IA-32 CPUs did not implement it. SSE2 and the other SIMD instruction sets were intended primarily to improve CPU support for realtime graphics, notably gaming. A CPU that is not marketed for this purpose or that has an alternative SIMD instruction set has no need for SSE2.

The following CPUs implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was developed, but did not implement SSE2:

AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs

Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4

Via C3

Transmeta Crusoe
