I am sure there is a simple ansver to this. But i just booted my old account up and i am now trying to install the client.. and it just refuses to connect to the server. It is stuck in the pre-patching stage. I went to the server status page and all was green and up so am i missing something or have my brain finally given in to old age.?

Define "stuck in the pre-patching stage."

Depending on how long you've been gone, there could be a signficiant amount of updating to do. Patience, my young padawan. Even on my fairly powerful machine, patching can sometimes take quite a while to apply.

If it takes an exorbitant amount of time, however, that's probably indicative of a different issue. Possibly a firewall issue (the update server is *not* a game server, IIRC).

well basically it simply does not in any way shape or form connect to the patch-server i only get the connection attempt counter currently at #30.

It isn't connecting for me right now, either. So it could just be us, or it could be the connection server.

So...I guess that doesn't help...

Well actually it does help a bit. Prolly some hickup with the log-in server/patch server. I'l just chill and wait for a while.

Isn't it Scheduled Downtime around about now?

I know EU is 12 til 2 and it's 25 to 2 now.

Ah here we go... Would seem like i just got my timezones mixed up. Everything is fine and the game is patching.


Cheers tho and i am glad to see that the CoH community has not lost it's friendly touch.

That is weird though, I could have sworn the server status page listed all servers as "down" during the scheduled down time. In fact, I know that I've used before in the early mornings to see when the down time is over...
