not a dodgey download... just that the game cant connect to the sro server, so it reads as an error... just wait till the 24th, then try running the game again

dont worry, you can bet i'm right... was a problem that i was gettin for a while there (see post "Getting onto Silkroad") turns out that i wasnt connecting to the SRO servers, therefore no connection could be established between the execution file and the server info.... and the error box would always appear

LOL~~! Definantly new to the game....

The reason you cant play till the 24th is coz the game servers are closed till then, and a 3rd beta will be resleased.... HOPEFULLY~!
