ok just got home and loaded the launcher as always, but its stuck, it says patch where it normal says engage? its not doing nothing and has been like it for 10 min.
it says servers up, whats up with that?????
I had a patcher problem a week or so ago, but a REBOOT fixed it. No need to reinstall anything. I run a computer repair business on the side and that is part of my tag line; " I dont just re-install Windows and give you your computer back, I actually fix your computer."
So instead of taking advice, you decide to completely ignore it and do your own thing? If you want to troll go to a different forum.
You do love calling posters a troll - you've done it in several threads and you seem to have got the meaning a little wonky. No doubt I'll be a troll for doing this:
"a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community" - Wikipedia.
"An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer" - Curezone.com
"An obnoxious user or member on a forum that goes out of their way to make pointless, offensive, or annoying posts and messages." - Urban Dictionary
"A forum troll is a user who goes thread to thread posting false, controversial, irrelevant, or inflammatory things in order to get a rise out of the other users." - geek.dictionary
The OP hasn't done any of the above and isn't a troll

^^This is what you should have done before you even came to the forums. Unless you're running your game on some operating system that has yet to be written.

P.S. As a tag line moordrake, that's pretty poor. Sometimes the fix requires a reimage, and you're kind of implying that you just don't do it. I'd be kind of upset if I didn't know better and you reimaged.

Actually a troll is a person who makes posts purely to annoy, harass or just generally complain without reason or with a hope others will join in, in regards to a forum troll. Kind of liek what you are doing by typing what you did. If you have an issue with what i say, or if you think i myself am trolling, feel free to PM a mod and have them issue me with an infraction.
There have been a lot of "troll posts" her eon the tech boards recently. As i and a few others almost excusively frequent the tech boards, this is where we post, asn we try to keep things on topcic as to help players and for other players to find pertinant advice.
As for you saying youve seen a lot of posts of me callign people trolls, thanks for taking the time to search for my previous posts. You'll notice i do call players trolls, only when they actually DO troll. It's pretty much exactly what you did.
But lets agree to disagree finish this "argument" or disagreement before it erupts into a full on flame war. Agreed?
is that right? and how long does that take, is it uploading all the patches?
Rick you have something preventing the patcher from connecting or running, could be a security suite. Review your log files, run the game as administrator, and review my FAQ.
I've just gotten this problem as of this afternoon. I was able to login earlier, patch, and play. Now when I try to login the message says "Connecting ..." and the big Patch button on the right is not clicky. My wife has NOT patched, and upon trying to login gets the same result.
I'm guessing a server is down somewhere... but why not post?
UPDATE: My wife restarted the login and was able to patch then play. I still cannot get past "Connecting ..." -- all the easy stuff (eg reboot) have been done.
UPDATE #2: Kept retrying, finally got in. Still worth the info? (Probably not a big deal.)

Agreed.
I did actually state in my post that what I was doing could be considered trolling.
I still maintain that the OP was in no way trolling.
how can it be fine this afternoon and now cant get it to work at all.
all i keep getting in the top left is a grey box with
trying to update launcher
please be patient
never had any problems like this with swg, just tryed to log into that and im in strate away, so whats going on????
If the launcher can't connect to the tcp 7000 ports it will fail or hang. Can also be an update on the pc security suite preventing connectivity or permissions on the pc. I've helped quite a few people troubleshoot launcher issues and that is what it comes down to. When I test from one of the three systems here they fly through the process so I know it isn't on Cryptic's end.

oh i turnd off my router for about a 2 min, then turned it back on, and thats when the above started to happen.
