Heyas,

Normally, with a fully patched game you can just launch the client and be logged into the game in under a minute

Early testing has the patch server working overtime, and had some major issues the last weekend.

For some reason, when I load the client (not the patcher) it hangs on accessing the authentication server...

Can you fix that issue. No reason to overload the patch server when you know you have the proper build version.

Thanks!!

    Indeed, you're not able to connect because there is no Beta Server online to connect to.

    I'm aware of that :p

    The authentication server never resolves unless you load the launcher first. You can still get that far if your account is setup froma previous beta weekend

    Ahhh, yeh the launcher sets your proxy and stuff and initialises the contact with the patch server, i think that maybe why it wont work if u go direct to game.. just a guess tho bud..

    Maybe its the proxy thing if your already fully patched or mayube the code on the main server authentication requires a handshake from the launcher to make sure all are coming from certain proxys?

    Ya I keep thinking its a token or some kind of preauthentication done with the patch server/launcher. Never had a PW game do that before, but this is my first Cryptic game. Usually you just fire the client up
