Server Error

I just wanted to play the game but when I click on the ST:O icon I get the following message: "Server Error. The patch server could not be found"

Is this because the game is down or is this a client error?

    try a tracert to the patch server
    tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com

    if you are using vista or win 7 make sure the launcher and gamecleint exe are set to run as admin.

    make sure your firewall and antivirus software are set to allow the game access to the net

    the game uses ports 7000-7500 and the patching is downloadws on port 7255. make sure those ports are open and not blocked

    download and run nettest to check a sample of the ports

    Nettest:
    Go to http://files.champions-online.com/nettest.exe
    Download this file and run it
    A command prompt should appear running the test automatically

    For good connections, column 1 and 3 have values around 500 kb/sec (outgoing/incoming), column 2 has values around 20 kb/sec (transfer rate).

    Sometimes computers have issues that have no discernable causes. Reboot works more often than most people suspect :)

    Yeah, I've noticed this. Like a friend of mine once said: computers are but women:p
