I just had it

 

This fixes inv-300

 

Go into Control Panel, Internet Options, Advanced tab,  scroll down to Security and uncheck Check for server certificate revocation. Click apply.  Start the game.   Go back and turn on the Check and apply again so your regular browsing stays safe.   You will need to do this to start the game until the cert is fixed.

 

It worked for me

Thanks Markemt - deselecting "Check for server certificate revocation" worked for me too.

 

I was a little puzzled by the situation, as logins were failing on my Win10 computer, but on an old Win7 box I rarely use for ENB, logins worked fine. After doing your workaround and getting logged in on my Win10 machine, I looked at the settings on the Win7 PC and found the "Check for server certificate revocation" box IS ticked/checked — and logins were working without a hiccup.

 

So this login issue seems to not affect ENB on Win7, but does affect ENB running on Win10 (and presumably Win11 too). Maybe these more modern O/Ses have tighter security..

 

Just my 2 cents, in case anyone with Win7 is saying "what are they all talking about?!"

Microsoft had done a critical update recently. Security was the focus. Might be the major issue why people had to reset the server check option

[tsodi]

Try the certification work around. No go still.

Morning!

 

Sorry, wasn't checking this thread lately (hm...i should get notifyer mails...hmmmm).

 

Ok, i take care about the INV-300 and will restart the server anyway (OS patches).

Since i cannot give a pre-warning (not able to log in now), i will shutdown the server the hard way...sorry for that !

[Zackman [LDEV]]

Oki doki...server should be good again!

[Guest Satori]

@tsodi Did you reboot your computer after making the change?

 

[tsodi]

yep, did reboot and the like. However, back on today.

Thank you. 👍

[Shadimar]

I've rebooted and tried with and without the change and still see the INV-300, FYI.

This has to do with older certificate authorization mechanisms. Modern OS require a bit more. So really this is on us for a cert going back. We're still trying to get everything back in place and fully automatic of course in terms of the day to day, as time permits of course. 

While you *can* do this to get in, we strongly recommend that you restore the setting as soon as possible, bad guys out on the internet could take advantage of this and get certificates on your machine that do Bad Things™ to you.

*edit*
Just to clarify what this is doing for those less technical, typically a certificate proves a target computer is who it says it is and why one is all but required with most sites these days (ever notice how most jump to https:// and give you a warning up front if they aren't?). What you do by unchecking this is tell your operating system not to bother reading the CRL (certificate revocation list) which is published by Microsoft and/or other vendors and basically lets your computer know that a particular certificate with a given thumbprint has been marked revoked or has expired rendering it invalid. Without this revocation check, someone could slip you a script to redirect your browser for example when you went to google and actually land at a fake google page where you wouldn't know the difference and could steal your credentials when you log in.

To add explanation about what the setting is doing under the hood.

[Janwarrior]

Still INV-300

[Guest Sparksvonrou]

Forgive me for hijacking this thread.

I am unable to access the game because no matter what I have tried; deleting, reinstalling, deleting... etc.

I get the error flag saying that my net7proxy.exe is incorrect version. I tried deleting just that file and I can not get it to update it. It then says that file is missing and crashes. Help would be greatly appreciated because, well it has been a long time with an empty ship !!

[Guest Jodian]

Really hoping this wakes people up to the reality of having "all your eggs in one basket"...  Other development teams (Star Wars Galaxies & City of Heroes) have gone public with their code while still operating their own projects.  Why haven't you guys?  On your end, you might actually get more help.  On our end, it ensures if your "entertainment service" suddenly vanishes one day that the game won't again be lost to history.  It's a win-win scenario.

[crighton]

I'm afraid I have to agree with jodian.

 

I've just spent the last hour trying to Enter Dahin from Kailaasa.

 

I'm starting to loose faith. 

I know everything takes time, But now I'm getting higher in levels, its increasingly more difficult to complete missions.

Even Jobs require leaving sectors, so they're out of the question for now.

 

I really hope we can come up with a solution.

 

Cheers

 

PS.....

I forgot to mention(well every time I forget)

Wormholes are fine. I never seem to hang from a WH.

Good morning, all,

 

Just as a data point, I've had no trouble since the bad lag a week or so ago was resolved.  The cert problem never emerged for me and no trouble going from place to place.  I'm on Windows 10 up-to-date, on a Dell G-3 laptop.  Of course I've only just started my third toon, none of which are much past beginner quests, so maybe it's to do with that. 

 

This is not to downplay the seriousness of the issues Crighton and others are having, just informing that it's not everybody.  Or at least, not me ... at least not yet.  😕   Best of luck with all of it!

a second thought

[Woodstock HGM [HGM]]

I have flown gm and non gm toons through Kail several times recently while doing the seeking the key missions for the Mazzaroth and Mondara keys  I also had no problems on either my win10 or my win11 machines.  You might need to set your A/V and Firewall to set both Net-7 and EnB Clients to be allowed without questioning

 Im so happy that nobody said the word   Wipe .

 

I would LOVE to see a player wipe. Or at least a second instance hosted. I'll even donate a server to run a clean DB on.

Maybe one day if we had the time to do more balancing of the economy, as it is due to some past happenstances it got sorta wild.

That would only slow things down for people who know what they are doing to rebuild IF they wanted to replay the game again to that large of a extent. It would have to be a major rebalance with new gameplay in order for the wipe to mean something. A really huge change maybe but if it's some minor rebalancing on a weapon that wouldn't make sense. We are talking where the Wiki would become useless as there is a ton of useful and helpful information that has been collected for many years. A wipe isn't going to do anything at this point.

I was referring more to a 2nd instance. I gave a promise when we went live that there'd be no further wipes if we could possibly help it.

[Mashimara]

Exactly. A second instance would not break that promise AND gives those late in rediscovering E&B is back online, and new system with a different economy. No changes are needed, and a quick click on the server  drop down in Net7 launcher.

BTW, I cannot log in to my old Net-7 accounts here.
I make it into the game and It says username or password is wrong, just after entering it in the boxes.
I'm looking for the process to reset my game account passwords.

I checked my username and password to the portal.

Go to net-7.org, Account / "Master account settings" page "Avatar Settings" tab.

You can select ingame account and change or reset password there.

[Gwahir]

hey hey, I hope everyones well!

Ive tried a few times to get back in game, but all I get is the Inv-300 message.

tried changing my password, tried making a new account, but nothing seems to work.

on a side note and after reading a few of the messages on here. EVEN though I cant get in and or play, I just wanted to say a HUGE! thanks to all the GM's and developers for doing their bloody best to rebuild the game yet again.

You guys are awesome and I have a tonne of respect for you doing this in your own time and letting the not so helpful posts slide off your backs.

 

Well done guys and keep being awesome

[Woodstock HGM [HGM]]

Gwahir  check the net-7 launcher to see if the client box is pointed to ....Ea games/earth & beyond\release\client.exe,   the check the local IP address on the right side to is should not be 127.0.0.  it should be the local IP for your computer 

 I have one computer that has this issue and each time it has been the Local IP has changed,
