Hello Ripster,

 

I have a feeling you need to go back and look at the guide documentation. Maybe i'm wrong but this *sounds* like the "Error 4: could not find patch server" from the original game patcher, which means the Net7Launcher is set to target the wrong executable on your system.

In the top left corner of the launcher what is the path you see? Does it look similar to this? It should not be pointed at eb.exe or e&b.exe or whatever it is by default. This is what I referred to in the setup guide.

This should help others with the same problem.

 

Change the Local IP address to the one listed at the bottom of your dropdown in the launcher (see attached)

 

This should correct that error you're seeing.
