I've never had this problem until today, it's tried connecting 6 times now but just sits there. I just updated my video driver last night, maybe that screwed it all up..
I started another thread about not being able to login, this is my screen, this is what I've been looking at since I bought this game and downloaded it yesterday

this is the wrong thread for u as of right now. this is for people who dont even have a launcher coming up. and i say "as of right now" because im sure you'll eventually have this same problem. sorry to be the bearer of bad news
its been 2 weeks now for me... i know thats not nearly as long as some, but ive givn up. ive tried about 8 different methods that were "working" for others in this post with no success on my account. im not paying any more money to cryptic and im still interested in getting a refund, im just not the one whos willing to put forth the effort of filing an offence against them.
sadly, i think thats why this has been going on for this long...

download that, login and should either update or play if u already updated not sure if it will play or update if u already have the patches, i dont have any patches so it is downloading them for me now, hope this helps
Just bought the game of steam today, and even after playing the demo flawlessly I started to get this message. Tried using the above file, let me log into game but now im getting server not responding when it starts to load.
Edit: went to properties of the ChampionsOnline Test5 and pressed Unblock at the bottom where it says it was created on another computer. Works now!
Edit-Edit: Wanted to make it work the right way still. After disabling windows firewall, it didnt fix anything. So i didnt think i had any other protection on until i realized i had windows defender installed. Turned windows defender off, works perfectly. So now i just put steam, and cryptic folder as an "exclude" option in windows defender and it works.
Hello i have a problem, im new and bought the game today.I installed and made my account.But when i want to start it first need to patch the launcher.But it takes about 10 minutes and then there comes a patcher error.What can i do? Sry for my bad english im from germany.Pls help quick!

Something screwy with the patcher in the newest launcher.

How long is this supposed to take? I get a big scrolling window with some code and send 31 bytes repeating over and over, and I get a modified version of the launcher updater gray box that says:
Trying to update the launcher.
Please be patient.
Tried connecting # times.
It got to 8 times before I went in and unblocked the file, now it is to 4 times after being unblocked.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but 31 bytes at a time will require some 303 times to get to 1 KB, therefore about 303000 times to get to a MB, and if this requires a GB I'm looking at 303000000 times? even at a few dozen sends a second, that will take hours if not days to update?
its been a few weeks, ive been playing divinity, its not suprising to see that this is still an issue with more than myself... and like the last few post kudokun's method didnt work for me as well.
i let it sit while i played divinity and idk a few hours later it was at 52 attempts.
so im basically paying for this game to take up space on my computer and get denied everytime i even try to open the launcher.
Never was any problem with my launcher, play the game from the beginning, but now almost 50 times tried to connecting... and more than 2 hours waiting, any new or idea? tyvm
I try to upload my Dxdiag but its 46kb and limit is 19.5kb???? Ok i zip it, pathetic...

Exactly what indication are you getting.
1. sometimes a firewall or antvirus program will reflag a patched program as new and require reauthorization withthe program to access the net. Windows defender will sometime do this when it gets a new update. So recheck the firewall and antivirus.
2. Check IE browser to make sure it did not set itself to work offline or using a proxy server setting in the IE internet options.
It works for a friend, although he's using the same WLAN like me. I also tried replacing Champions Online.exe and GameClient.exe, but it won't work. Resetting the router won't work too.
Already tried all the options from the Q and A that was in another thread and I was fine at 4 am EST. When I went to log in again about an hour and a half ago it says for the update the launcher. It still does it now in checking again.
Ditto. Was fine last night. Played for a few hours logged out around midnight. Try to logon a few minute ago. All it does it try to connect. One times, two times. Sometimes a blank (white) logon page pops up but remains blank for ages. Other times it tries to blame my connection. I just tested my connection speed here...
Something's gone wrong with our launcher tech for a few of our games, though it isn't affecting everyone. I'll update when it's resolved.
Thank you for the update! The problem has persisted for a couple of hours, so an extension of the double XP weekend would definitely be appreciated. :biggrin:

Was just about to say the same thing. Been off all day for some people.
wtf I thing itws work,as the white loading windows was open but than the Internet Explorer open and it say the program can not open:res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm
OMG this is so annoying, sorry guys, but anyone have found out why this happens and is there a solution to it, im not going to go through all 110 threads on this topic so if someone could help me i would be greatly appreciate it, i really hate cryptic right now its so lazy of them to let this happen, i try to start the game i get the same message as everyone else, what can i do? thanks
The internetz is one crazy place! tread carefully!
Says on the front page of the website in a red box "We are aware of an issue in which some players are unable to open launcher. Our engineers are currently investigating the issue." For anyone who wants to know.
I could play earlier today now its back to the same old story again. I'll admit this is frustrating. I just hope they find asolution soon. before this I've never had any problems with running the game.
I was unable to log onto Champions Online until late last night and again today I am unable to log on. This is getting sadly repetitive, I do hope they will fix it soon. I will try to keep 'the faith' that it is being worked on but after two days it's getting repetitive. Obviously it is not my connection at this point. :biggrin:

Mt connection is just fine my daughter has been playing guildwars this morning and DCUO works just fine ( first time I've fired it up in months)
Neither of these games are updating the launcher for me, each tries three times and then shuts down. I have access to all of the other MMO's I own just not these two that Cryptic/PWE operate. Anyway here's to hoping they fix it soon. An update would be nice.
Same started here this afternoon/evening, January 29th. I was on fine just a couple hours earlier, now no go...hope it is in reference to the work that is supposedly being done as we speak.

I'd rather get STO's level of lockbox suck if worthwhile updates come with it. -Buxom
