Rise of Isengard Update/Patching Discussion - OFFICIAL

[Catflap]

This is the greatest thing ever - The Fungal Mushroom is FIXED WOOHOOOOO!! WELL DONE TURBINE!

Guess I'll never get to see it though as I'm stuck at examine programs.

Wonder how many Turbine points will be needed to 'BUY' the move to 'Update Programs' in the store.

[Valens74]

Well Turbine, I hope you learn from this fiasco.

You've lost customers over this.

Time to start playing AoC.

So any word on what to do if you're stuck at the "Examine Game Data" step for an hour or so? Not terribly concerned about it, otherwise preoccupied, but would like to know if this is a perpetual hang and I should just restart the launcher, or whether there's an invisible queue it's waiting in.

If you restart the launcher you're chancing getting stuck in the 'connect' loop for another 6 hours. Mine reverted back to that for some reason after sitting in 'Examine Game Data' for ages...not a happy bunny but what can I do?

[Junoriel]

Not yet. 35 minutes here.

restart it....the 2nd time it swooshes past examine game data

[Cesinha]

Grr, is it normal to stuck at 'Examine Game Data'? Should I close the client and open again?

[DutchEZmoder]

It sucks i was in and then i got a client crash and i can't get back in for a few more hours now :@ I managed to get the crafting rep complete and barter my remaining armour, get the epic quest and then BAM client crash :@

[The_Cutter]

Went very smooth so far. 15 minutes of waiting to start, then downloaded quickly and installed, game launches without problems, there's quite a bit of people at Laurelin.

My only complaint is it's raining outside Trestlebridge!

God, I hate you!

[Floxxx]

I was logged in, was already at the gates of Isengard, then my internet took a dump and i got disconnected. Now i'm stuck at the patch-fase again. FML

Only if you're really lucky. Chances are you get stuck trying to connect again.

[LilFeet]

This is getting a bit ridiculous, seeing a red x for 8 hours is very disappointing. Can't believe this wasn't planned for.

Patching with PyLotRO

Anybody else using a Mac or Linux trying to patch with PyLotRO? This is my first major update on my Mac and all I get is this when patching:

Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80

Connection to patch server failed error code: 0x80041003
Failed to connect to the patch server: OEC_E_CONNECTIONFAILED(0x80041 003)

Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80

Connection to patch server failed error code: 0x80041003
Failed to connect to the patch server: OEC_E_CONNECTIONFAILED(0x80041 003)

Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80

checking data...
OnNetworkDisconnected()
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been sitting on that last line for 2 hours now. I'm not sure if it's doing anything or not.

[Atanor]

Amazon S3 or Akamai can deliver large files to million of people for 15cents/Gigabyte

Would sales representative from one of these company help Turbine to enter web 2.0?

Turbine : please feel free to explain why you still rely on your own patching/delivery architecture that proves to fail each time ? Any geek from his garage can send Terabytes of data over the web if doesn't mind to pay a bit for it !

[AkiraMorita]

*sigh* I've been waiting for two hours... meanwhile my one of my kinnies connected, patched, and logged on after waiting 30 minutes.... just felt like whining here like the rest of you people.... :P

[eagleeye64]

Restart it... the 2nd time it puts you in the connection loop again.

Hey good advice!

[Ungodlyomen]

Let u guys in a on secret even once the patchings dune u cant get in the game. as soon as u enter the password game closes lol

And you reque with the red X.

[Azurien]

2 - Watch TV and eat ice cream.

After proper consideration, I am now heading to the freezer in order to execute option 2. Yum.

LOL wonderful idea

[Cesinha]

restart it....the 2nd time it swooshes past examine game data

Noooo! I restarted it and I'm stuck at the connection again =/

[Nuradan]

Trying not to get impatient but why have 3 kinnies who just fired up the launcher about an hour ago already managed to patch and get in while me and my missus are still stuck at the connect thingy for hours on end.

Luckily I know this feeling will disappear the second one of the clients manages to connect!

Come on Turbine! Feed those Hamsters some more!

Have you put your Erebrandir's Horseshoe on? No? See, that's why

[str8balla131]

I've been trying to connect for over an hour and keep getting "An update error occured: A connection attempt failed". Looks like the Turbine team has taken notice to large number of complaints and trying to do something about it, but I'm still sitting at the error portion of the client patch.

After reading this thread it seems like some are successful and some are not, I'm wondering if there is a que or if it's just timing? Either way, it looks like the pre-purchasers are getting in a day early, as promised, but how do they know if you have pre-purchased the game without actually logging in? There should be an easier way to get this patch downloaded, having us log in and then put the game key in which would then allow the account to start the patch. Not really rocket science.

Guess the early access is not really guaranteed, I thought I read that it was part of the legendary edition, which I purchased, but I could be wrong. Anyways, I'll just keep trying.

[Blaize_EU]

lol I should do another Hitler movie about it
(check my signature - "..pop a token for you")

Just watched that and cheered me up Mae govannen at the end... genius...

[Suroh]

Aha I'm loving it it's 4:52 pm in New York and I just now got passed connecting currently at Examine Game data what do you think will I make it or will I get stuck lmao....

[Moejo]

Not yet. 35 minutes here.

I gave up after an hour and a half, now back to failing to connect. *whispers*psst, IT guys, still need more bandwidth, chop chop

[eagleeye64]

Noooo! I restarted it and I'm stuck at the connection again =/

Yep, poor Forewine

[Fotho]

Connecting, patching and logging on went smoothly (<30 mins) and in-game performance is great. I'm 10 chapters into the Epic story (thanks, Turbine, for that awesome ch. 8 surprise!) and just levelled to 67. Btw, the Bonevales look great!


Oh, who am I kidding. Still can't connect to the patching server. 11 PM here, time to get to bed. So much for "a day early" - the thought was nice, though.

[Crianna]

I'm trying to patch my system and I keep getting a red X by connect. I just wanted to get my system patched so I could start patching my wife's when I get home
