Error with downloading game

[naamaspirit]

And don't forget, if there are issues now, even if the unbelievable will happen and I'll manage to get these 30MB of required patches done (doesn't look like it's going to happen), if this is not fixed then everytime there is an update the same issue will be encountered.

So far I did not see any solution posted here for this issue.

I believe 81.169.165.233 is being a bit unstable...

With the help of my new best friend kaetemi, I've managed to work around this issue by updating my Windows Hosts-file and routing my patcher to one specific server.

eg.

85.25.20.161 dl1.gfsrv.net

hope this helps anyone else aswell

[naamaspirit]

I know how to update the Windows host file, but how do I route the patcher to that one specific server that seems to be working better than others?

Updating the hosts file redirects the patcher to the server. A hosts file overrides the DNS information that is returned when your comp makes its initial DNS query to find and connect to the patch server.

I, for one, do NOT know how to update the Windows host file, so could someone please instruct me on the proper way to this? Thanks! (This game looks really awesome, but I've been working on it for a couple of days, and starting to think that it is not worth the hassle...) Also, Kaetemi, those files in your post... how do I open them, and what are they for? When i download them, it gives me the choice of opening it by either selecting the program from a list, or searching the web for one, and the web results prove futile... Any help is appreciated.

[kaetemi]

They're just to demonstrate the server speeds
As can be seen in the rest of that post, one server is a bit problematic.
The files are lzma compressed bnp package files, but that doesn't really matter.



btw, made a working ryzom installer in c# in less than 2 hours ^^
while doing other stuff

It only downloads the main files needed to run ryzom, no other stuff, so you'll simply get the full patch of all files needed if you try to run the ryzom client, but it works just fine as an experiment. I'll hide the link to the code in another thread, in case anyone wants to make a complete usable installer out of it...

Adding

85.25.20.161 dl1.gfsrv.net

to my host file did the charm for me, and I managed to download all patches and the Ring, and am finally able to try out the game.

Kaetemi and zajjko, thanks a mllion !!

You should find your Windows hosts file @
C:\WIN2K\system32\drivers\etc

The file name is 'hosts'

Before doing anything I would make a copy of this file (Ctrl-C --> Ctrl-V, will create a file 'Copy of hosts'), so that in case an error occurs when updating it, you still have the original untouched.

Then go back to the original hosts file, open it in Notepad or Textpad,
and add this line at the end:

85.25.20.161 dl1.gfsrv.net


Do NOT place a '#' at the beginning of the row.

Save the file (under 'save as' choose .txt, .ini format, however make sure no file extension gets added to the file).

Hope this helps.

You should remove the line again once you're done patching, though. In case the server IPs change.
