Can you login?

Bg_DrEaM · **Joined:** Nov 2007 **Posts:** 1354 **Location:**

I can't start the game. At all. The launcher opens, but no start button. Same for 50% of my guild members. No inspection notice, no nothing.
So are we the only one having this problem? Because if only we have it, maybe it's a problem with the connection from Bulgaria or something.
Or maybe this has to do something with the 3rd server rev6 showed today, that is closed...
Any help will be appreciated...

Ok, so we figured out it's not a local problem. 10x.
I have one more question, i wanna try to change the IP's in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, but idk how to open the file so that i don;t screw up something.
And how to save it. When i open it with woldpad, it says that i'm going to change some configuration if i save it like a text file. So if someone can give me a hand with this, i will try to see if this works for launching the game.

Edit: I also can't reinstall the game when i try, it just says pleace wait and that's all. And i know how fast the game can be installed on my PC so it's not causing the problem.

same problem, server zeus, and from Belgium.
restarted my net, my pc, nothing works. i asked a friend from malaysia to login to zeus and he got in after 20seconds.. on rev6 servers look kinda full.

it started when servers lagged like hell, then i died and got dc'ed. after that i been trying for 2h to login, i got prem+ but i cant even manage to get to the login screen.

Yep, same thing here. We all lagged and dc-ed at medusa. Then i managed to login 1 time, for about 5 mins, that again the same lag and DC. And no login ever since.
I have a hope changing the IP in the hosts file would work, but i need help in opening and saving it, so i can test it...

IT WORKS!!! Good old bug

For all that can't login, here it goes.

Open C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc\hosts

You have to open it with notepad, not wordpad wich was my problem

So you will see this:

Quote:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Change the last addres with this:
121.128.133.26 gwgt1.joymax.com
121.128.133.27 gwgt1.joymax.com
121.128.133.28 gwgt1.joymax.com

It will look like this:

121.128.133.28 gwgt1.joymax.com

Strange is when i made it all people said they r in... so i'm not sure if it's from the host file or the servers went ok just when i changed it

But if they don't work for you, you can try this.

Just restart your client a few times until it connect on an open login server of those 3, seems like the same bug we had a few weeks ago, that some could login and others never got in the game.

Restart your client it always auto choose one of those 3 login servers and u might be unlucky to connect on the closed ones.
