Bullroarer client Installer - DOWNLOAD LINKS

[S0BAN]

my client stucks here..

[Kravec]

After downloading the files, this appears. Who can tell what is the reason? Win7

[Vodhr]

Same

[Liarie]

I'm also getting that. Is it because the server is currently down?

EDIT: The server is up, but I am still getting the same message as Kravec and Vodhr. Is there a solution? I am on Windows 10.

EDIT: Devs, if you're reading this, I think the problem is with the choice to download the "high textures" or not. The first time I chose that option, and got the error. This time I downloaded what was supposedly the "non high texture" version, and it worked. But it still gave me the high textures, which I believe is now the default for the client?

The server is up today so I tried getting in. Unfortunately I'm still getting the 201 error. It's coming up after I log in and am put in line to get on the server. Does anyone know of a fix for this that doesn't require downloading pricey/suspect software?

Same issue here, been reading quite a bit about the error and turns out the most common solution is to rename some of the data files, however in my case the data files are missing (even after 2 reinstalls)

[Roland_Deschain]

So have gotten to the point (I think) where all the downloading is done but it now seems to be stuck. I now see the following:



This is on Mac OS X 10.13.6. Note that this is my first time in downloading/installing Bullroarer.

[Hendambar]

Are there instructions anywhere on how to install Bullroarer client to a designated drive rather than the default drive? When I tried to install it I saw no choice.

[Rasdro]

…. fixed.

[angelastar]

The Mac downloader/installer for the Bullroarer Public Preview Client is available:

https://files.lotro.com/lotro/installers/preview/lotropreview.dmg

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have upgraded your MacOS to the newest version of Catalina, the LOTRO client will not work. This includes Bullroarer. For more information please refer to this announcement MacOS Catalina Compatibility and threads in the Mac Technical Support forum

Please note: Bullroarer is a Test server. We wipe all data from this server between tests and at other times as our testing requires.
To download The Lord of the Rings Online Live client installer please visit our website: http://www.lotro.com/en/game/download

Some Notes:

• This should not overwrite your existing Bullroarer install if you install by defaults.
• If you decide to use a custom install, please take note of where the installer wants to install the game by default before changing the path. If it is installing anywhere other than 'The Lord of the Rings Online - Public Preview' by default then please let us know!
• This is a full installer package. If you already have a working Bullroarer client, you do not need to use this installer.

Akamai Netsession

The Akamai NetSession client allows us to quickly and reliably deliver fresh LOTRO client installations to you, and assist in the repair of missing or corrupted files in current game installations. The client utilizes Akamai’s large network of edge servers to deliver this content to you from a location which is deemed geographically closest to you, and ensures that we are able to efficiently and effectively get you what you need to play LOTRO. Although some versions of the Akamai NetSession client used by other software providers utilize Peer-to-Peer technology, we have decided not to use P2P for LOTRO. What this means is that Akamai NetSession will NOT use peer-to-peer when delivering LOTRO-related content.
Once you install the LOTRO client, or patch your game, it will be possible to uninstall Akamai NetSession from your computer, and NetSession will not reinstall unless it is necessary to deliver a deleted file or a fresh installation. Typical game updates will not require the use of Akamai NetSession.

Please post any feedback about the installers that you may have in this thread, and please report any bugs you encounter.

Enjoy!

you too cannot open the links ?

[Kehleyr_SSG]

you too cannot open the links ?

If you are having trouble opening the links, try right-clicking on it and selecting 'Copy link address'.

Then paste the link in a new browser tab. That should get you on your way.

This is a common issue with our Chrome users (and some other browsers as well).

From the OP:
NOTE: If you are having trouble opening the installer links, right click on it and select 'Copy link address'. Then open a new tab on your browser and paste the link there.

Can someone give me a hint, where I get money in Bullroar and all the stuff?

DE: Die Zugänge zur Taverne liegen in Thorins Tor kurz vor dem Stallmeister und in Archet in dem Durchgang zum Pranger. Der Goldgeber Fantus steht u.a. auch im Handwerksbereich. Dieser befindet sich einmal durch die Halle und dann hinten rechts die Tür.

EN: The entrances to the tavern are in Thorin's gate just before the stable master and Archet in the passage to the pillory.



Boar Fantus is the Gold Allowance Bestower. More Info:

I've installed bullroarer, made it to the character transfer, but when I go to run it crashes. Every time. Any ideas what I should try?

[GokuSS400]

I'm also having the same problem that a lot of folks have reported here. So, the initial install went fine, no problems there.

However now that I'm trying to launch the bullroarer version of the game, it says "an update error has occurred: unable to decrypt and deserialize the data downloaded from the server"

I know from prior experiences trying to troubleshoot things that looking at the logs folder can provide insight for the developers and anyone else trying to troubleshoot...So I went to the liberty of copying what was written in the log file

To my knowledge I'm fairly certain the preview server is still live, and I was able to use the copy tool on the live client to copy over 2 of my characters; however I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out why this isn't working. I've admittedly not played on Bullroarer on this specific computer before (current computer is less than a year old) but I've done various betas before and up until now, never had a problem. If someone has ideas on how to fix it or whatnot...I'd appreciate it (also willing to discuss the issue via email or whatever if here is not the most appropriate)
