Rise of Isengard Update/Patching Discussion - OFFICIAL

[Solona]

According to the LOTRO Twitter feed, game servers are up? What BS I can't even patch. GET THE PATCH SERVERS WORKING TURBINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I am now finally patching. Hopefully I will be able to get in once it is done.

[TheDeeps]

Man, I just started patching and I bet someone already killed Saruman and got his staff unique drop.

[Apparently]

actually they do by c-section. ^^ supply and demand

I was actually thinking more about the screaming-baby-at-two-am-on-a-worknight situation. No schedules, walkthroughs or buffs available there...

[jmsgalla]

I just think it's interesting that even though the servers can't handle the current volume (which is an issue of poor planning from the get-go) the Twitter feed is is pimping out how the patch servers are up and the game servers are up (and even encouraging you to re-tweet to pass the message along). This is putting additional stress on an already overwhelmed system, and it clearly neglects to mention the fact that the majority (it seems) can't connect to either the game or the patch servers.

[Chrysoprase]

Time to play the sims and maybe kill the possum that's living in our garden shed! Exciting.

[Lenbo]

Can't see how they could tell who's patched and who hasn't until a connection has been made

Actually, it's a real kick in the teeth for those who simply want to play and take their time as well. But yeah, laugh it up, why don't you.

Still trying to connect to patch up. Six hours now.

Edit: okay, this makes no sense. This was not a reply to the quote above. Obviously.

[Rapunzel666]

just started my laptop too (the 3rd client which needs the update) and curiously enough, the damned loading screens updated perfectly, then the usual failed connection attempts as on the other two clients

[Chris91]

Patching :-D...atm at 16%

[Alcaniel]

Question for those who have patched successfully, did you just let the connection keep retrying and eventually got the connection, or did you keep restarting the launcher?

[IroncladMerc]

I can picture an impatient Saruman sitting in his throne and tapping his fingers on the arm, saying "where is everyone?"

[Klinkhamer]

Trying to patch for 9 (!) hours all day long, now servers are live and i'm still not anywhere?? In retrospect this was a lost day.

I could've been working today, earning 15 euro/ hour, that amounts up to 135 euro i need in compensation from Turbine. PM me for my account number thanks.

If you decide to take a day off from work to be able to patch a game, then I say its your own headache!

[Ricen]

Finally connected after couple of hours waiting, but now it's stuck at Examine game data... Anyone else has this too?

I have the same thing matey

Everyone is trying to get on at one time guys. Its going to cause some pretty big lag on turbine's computers. Be patient

lolololololololololol

[Berenesse]

Congrats to all who have patched. I still can't even connect, after several attempts. So much for pre-purchasing!

[Chrysoprase]

I wonder how many people have actually managed to get into the game. Not that they would be posting here.

[Chav]

I hate to say it, but the download speeds it's giving me are BS. No way I can get that high.

I would hate to be turbine's pc right now...

[Raran]

well in kinchat people seem to get to the patchserver now, and reportedly 1 member is online on WW. But he could be saying that to get on my nervers ofcourse. .

For me still failing. .

[TullisLass]

I hardly trust my tired eyes! It really started to patch a minute ago! Geeeez, what a journey!

See ya'll ingame soon hopefully.

[AzmariaLionheart]

I will now sit back and watch anime, this is annoying, but we should also understand Turbine, they are trying their best to get this to work. And I remember from previous patches, a lot of people come back, but in the end only 70% or less of them stay, will be the same this time

[Moejo]

Finally...download has just started!
Will report is login works!

Were you restarting your launcher every so often or just letting it retry on it's own?

[Drago9]

Epic fail

the worst start for an update of the lotro history

[Kamikaze420]

I should have written Turbine an "IOU" note for the RoI expac and given them the money when the **** starts working properly.

And to those saying "patience....." really? This isn't charity. I pre-pay for a service and I am told it's available, but I am unable to access it because of shortcomings on the provider's end (suppy can't meet the demand, despite having collected money for the supply).... I shouldn't be expected to be patient. The company should be expected to provide the service it collected money for.

Question for those who have patched successfully, did you just let the connection keep retrying and eventually got the connection, or did you keep restarting the launcher?

I did an ipconfig /flushdns and reset my Router to reset the connection to the Akamai server.
