Background download dont get connected to client.

[flume641]

i had this problem this evening, as i try to start up the game, it comes to the lounching of the background downloader, but it dont connect with the client and i'm stuck in limbo as it keeps trying, can i have any help in this mater?

[ejizzle]

having the same problem. was playing the game late last night without any problems, and when i tried loggin in today it keeps getting stuck at the 'checking for patch' screen. so what gives ?

[jennaelf]

Same here. Just started this evening. I have had a LITTLE luck with restarting the client. Of course, then the server booted me with Please Waits and now I can't get back in. Same file, by the by:

ryzom_00610.idx (this time I'm frozen at 12.73%)

I am about to try the workaround that was linked to in another thread, but I know it has not worked for some.

[darcsyde]

Regarding the workaround - the line in question doesn't even exist in the config file of the current build.

[vguerin]

It exists in the config file called by "clients.cfg", check the bottom of your "client_default.cfg"... near the bottom/end of the file.

[darcsyde]

There is no file in my Ryzom directory with the name 'Clients.cfg' or 'Client.cfg'. The only one I have is called 'client_default.cfg'. And in that file, there is no reference to any other config file, that I can see.

There is no file in my Ryzom directory with the name 'Clients.cfg' or 'Client.cfg'. The only one I have is called 'client_default.cfg'. And in that file, there is no reference to any other config file, that I can see.

If you don't have a client.cfg then you have a huge problem

[darcsyde]

There is a file called 'Client', however I don't think this is the file you are referring to. To be sure, here are the contents of both of the files on my computer.

First, the 'Config' file.

I would have tried a re-download of the game, but the website has been "under maintenance" all day long.

[vguerin]

Somehow it seems your "client_default.cfg" did not install properly. This is the end/bottom of mine:

//ScenarioLanguages = {"French", "Deutsch", "English", "Other"};

I hope I am not breaking rules here and you should always consider the sources when downloading files from the internet. Here is a copy of my client_default.cfg.

Good luck !

[tydamus]

It seems many players have beene experiancing random connectivity issues with both the ingame servers and patching system. This is being looking into and hopefully fixed within a timely matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.
