Anymore suggestions?? Thanks.......Hyp [/quote] Yes now do a force update: At the top of the Launcher right side you will see "help" Click help, Click Advanced settings, click Force update. Close all windows and re-launch game. If your on a Windows 7 PC, right click the Net-7 .exe on your desktop and click Run as Administrator Let it patch. Hopefully it'll work for ya. EDIT: If that don't work there may be a chance you may need to install the security Certificates. Hopefully you know your way around your PC files. it can be a tricky navigation for the novice..

stvnford Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was on and playing then things locked up. Just did an update this morning (actually two loaded). Now I have the same issue - server is showing as 'off-line'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nulian Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Thats because the server currently is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, that would explain it..... Where can I go to check server status in case this happens in the future -- or is there a regularly scheduled 'down-time'? Thanks.

Hypnos Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Oki Doki, I've forced updates, and installed the certificates. When I force updates and start launcher, and after it finish's running the updates when it starts up, it starts with host as dev.net-7 rather than play.net-7. It's online (of course I can't log into it) when I change it to Play.net-7 it goes back to saying offline. *sigh* There's little question that I'm mising somthing, I simply have no idea what it could be. Thanks again for all your help, Hyp.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnos Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) In my continueing efforts to regain a grasp on game play, I will recap what I have done thus far to restablish game play and hopefuly its being a bit more concise will encourage a meaningful response i.e. HEEEELP! (sry, after 25 hrs plus peterin' with it i'm becoming a bit more flakey than normal). Per the "Do this first" list in forums: Made certain "Automatically detect settings" is ckd under LAN settings. I have deleted "Launch net7" folder to eliminate repeated entries in "hosts" drop down whick DID allow Sunrise.net7 rather than dev server load on launcher. Per the suggestions of others: Uninstalled/reinstalled Net7 launcher. Reset updates. Reinstalled security updates. The only thing left that I can think of to try is reformat drive and start over. Having done this a few times since ST2 only to learn ot didn't help, I've been putting it off so far.... Groveling/begging for help is not very prominant in my skill set but, I' tryin' Hope to see everyone in game soon, Thanks and kindest regards, Hyp.... And a hardy thank you to Phorlaug for his assistance..... Edited June 26, 2011 by Hypnos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
