Just finished the patch but no luck, same error keeps me from starting the game... time to do something else with my off-fay, but I was so hoping to play today.
From what I hear, a lot of players if not most can't get into the game. I'm sure they're not lounging at Cryptic but working hard to find a solution. And BMR thankfully relays the twitter-messages here, thank you so much for that!
I'm in the same boat, and I just noticed I have three character slots left. That's the best, and maybe the only good data scene after he installed that emotion chip...
They're not developing the patch in the 2.5 hours the server is down. They probably need the 2.5 hours to take the servers down, apply the patch, do the checking that everything works out, and restarting the servers.
I'm tempted to participate... but then again, I'm awful writing in my native tongue, and in english it's worse... so the world would probably be thankful if I'll decline the challenge.
First of all: I'm loving it! Of course, what we do is silly, but silly doesn't matter on a map as beautyful as this one is. So I'd ask if it is possible to establish the map as a social map of some kind, maybe expand it so we can visit the museum sometime in the years to come...
