Standalone client not patching
|
The game worked with no issues earlier today. Now, however, I can't login to the game. Every time I launch, the game checks resources then goes straight to the login screen, which doesn't let me log in to the game because there's a patch the game hasn't downloaded.
I ran the Pack Check utility, and it said all hashes were in sync. What should I do to fix this? |

can you post the exact error you get, and are you right-clicking on the shortcut or PathOfExile.exe and selecting "Run as Administrator"?
|

I'm running as adminstrator. I've tried using a shortcut, Client.exe, Pathofexile.exe, all to no avail.
Like I said, the game doesn't do any form of patching. When I try to log in at the login screen, it says: "There has been a patch you need to update to. Please restart Path of Exile" |
|
|
can you look at the last few lines of the Client.txt log file in the logs folder and see if it says anything about patching or the exe?

I uninstalled and tried a fresh install, and here's what my client.txt says:
2014/10/01 20:00:46 ***** LOG FILE OPENING ***** 2014/10/01 20:00:46 44554493 14b [INFO Client 2444] Send protocol version 2014/10/01 20:01:06 44574493 154 [CRIT Client 2444] Timed out while waiting for packet from the patching server Edit: when I try running PathOfExile.exe, I get the following error: Error opening file: Data/BaseItemTypes.dat Last edited by malboro_urchin#2648 on Oct 1, 2014, 9:04:46 PM

looks like a patching server connection issue.
perhaps your DNS is bad. can you change your DNS to use Google OpenDNS and set primary server to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4? |
|
|
What does that mean, my DNS is bad? I can connect to everything else and download other files without issue.
Edit: I'm on a college network, so I don't know if I can change my DNS Last edited by malboro_urchin#2648 on Oct 1, 2014, 9:08:57 PM

ahh. that would likely be the problem.
campus network security is usually closed. you likely won't be able to patch without talking to your network admins. |
|
|
But why now? I've been playing for several months now without issue. Oh well, I guess I'll have to contact IT or something
|

you would have to talk to them. perhaps they changed their firewall policies recently... I don't know that.
but it's very common for campus networks to not allow games. |
