True - Evernight has a lot of RP playyers but they talk in l33t speak and are 15 years old.

Hehehe, not quite my demographic then

Mate just texted me saying he has just finished patching and is in game

Thing is, it will take all of 3 hours to quest Enedwaith and gain Kindred rep, then it's 4 months of grinding classic instances until Isenguard

Mine's finished patching took about 40 minutes but fails to log in to the server Laurelin.

Hmm...getting that hash error straight away now each time I try.

Is Dx11 bringing tracks within weather elements such as snow?

Tombstone · 2 Nov 2010 at 11:22

Fixed it

Patching now

EDIT : ahh...bugrer it, got further then errored again hehe.

They are bringing each server on one by one, starting with the new servers.

If they didn't make it so hard for us in the EU to spend our money on the US version I would have given this game a serious try. I got nothing but errors when i tried with various payment methods and EU servers are no good as the majority of people i game with are from the US and Aus, the Aussies get horrible lag to Europe whereas we all get good pings to the US.

£40 for 5000 points

turbinelauncher.exe seems to be my problem. Downloads the updated one of those, deencrypts it and then comes up with the hash error each time.

eric_knapper · 2 Nov 2010 at 11:32

Try the turbineinvoker.exe see if that gets you going.

Gypo · 2 Nov 2010 at 11:35

We should (Lifetimers) get a nice 6000 points for our troubles, plus an extra 500 for participating in the preview.

I know what i'll be spending my points on....tomes!!!

Yeah I tried that after the launcher.exe one didnt work. Does the same thing, spazzes out on the turbinelauncher.exe file.

I could try sending you my TurbineLauncher.exe if you want.

Yeah, tried the one from my backup folder.

Problem I have now though is that my launcher doesnt start up at all now, just hangs before it even gets to the updating screen. Looks like I'll have to redownload the whole client I guess.

Thanks but my launcher doesnt even get to the updating part anymore, just hangs on "Opening Main Form" now, so not sure that the launcher will help now.

eekfek · 2 Nov 2010 at 11:58

** Ah other kinnies with preview have patched okay so far - ignore ^^**

Could be I didn't have the time to try the preview so just updated this morning through the launcher without a problem. Just waiting for the game servers to be put back online atm.
