Loading language resources and Checking firewall

[cwassall]

I've been trying to load the game since the latest update, but I cant get past the character selection screen. The download bar in the top-left sticks at 98/99% and all I get is the "Loading language resources" error when I click play, but there is nothing being downloaded.

I am also still getting stuck at the "Checking firewall" window a lot, although I've had that problem for a while now, before the update.

UPDATE:
I tried deleting the "live" folder, but I get both problems, firewall and loading language resources again. I also uninstalled Regnum and reinstalled it with the latest installer. After entering the game world, i got stuck downloading resources before the character selection screen...so even a fresh install wouldn't work.

The problem was finally fixed by copying the updated files from a friend's installation and pasting them into the Regnum directory. Why he could update and I couldn't is a mystery to me. However, the "Checking firewall" issue still haunts me.

When I get the "Checking firewall"-problem, I have to move all .idx and .sdb files, try again and then move them back. Something like:

cd /your/regnum/folder
mkdir backup
mv *.idx backup/
mv *.sdb backup/
./rolauncher (shut down when stuck on "Checking firewall")
mv backup/* .
rm -R backup
./rolauncher

Well, I don't know if your solution works for me...I just kill the game and try repeatedly until it decides to work, usually the 4th or 5th attempt. Thank you, I'll have to give it a go.

I have same Checking firewall problem after last update. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 64bit.

[cwassall]

After the new Halloween update, I am having the same problem AGAIN. It will not download the resources, no matter how long I wait or how many times I try...

Once again, I may have to rely on a friend to send me the data files...

I am also still struggling with the "Checking firewall" window, and the workaround posted above does not help as I cannot download the resources! Funny how some can download them no problem, yet I have this same problem *every* time...

[cwassall]

Once again I have relied on a friend....if he stops playing, I will be forced to quit due to not being able to log in...

Please respond so I know what to do in the future. PLEASE!

[rocketman]

I am having a similar problem - can't get past the "Checking Firewall" game, and as a result, have yet to be able to actually play the game at all.

I've forwarded all the recommended ports through my router, and am running no other type of firewall, so there's nothing that should be blocking communication in my setup. While sitting in the "Checking Firewall" window, I get a bunch of
"[logger.cpp(51)] Socket creation failed, error code 24"
error messages in log.txt, and then in my error_log.txt, I'll eventually see a lot of
"[http_retriever.cpp(241)] Connection timeout downloading resource 58001. Retrying.
[http_retriever.cpp(242)] Bytes received: 0, expected: 0"

I would really appreciate an explanation of what I need to do to try this game out.

[linuxboy]

After update to kubuntu 8.10 this bug is still there (clean RO installation). Is there any hope, that it will be solved? Is anybody working on update, or should I find another MMORPG?

[Mikan]

I personally have no problems on Kubuntu 8.04, and I'm behind a router and several firewalls, switches and hubs, and I am even in another country on another continent. :smile:

Honestly I think this is a problem caused by your Internet service provider.

Regards,

[arlick]

try doing this

rm -fr ~/.ngdstudios/rolauncher
rm ~/.rolauncher

It will remove two configuration files. Dont worry because the launcher will recreate it if its necessary,

[linuxboy]

After today's update (17. dec 08) it is now working. Thank you for help with this problem.

[cwassall]

When the game runs, it works perfectly for hours and hours on end. But, even after all this time, several reinstalls of my operating system and RO, I am *still* having this problem. It seemed to die down slightly for a while, but it hasn't stopped. I have tried for soo long (look at when I created the thread) to ignore this, but I have just tried 7 times to log in without success...

Katiechan, I appreciate the suggestion about my ISP, but I am not the only person having this issue and I doubt we are all on the same ISP. What could they be doing different to any other ISP, out of interest (thats not meant to sound as sarcastic as it does, its a serious question xD)? Don't NGD have records or something they could use to identify the problem?

FYI, I live in England and my ISP is Pipex. RO is the only application I have issues with, and I even have my own server running now - I would know if it was my connection. And I'll jump the gun here and point out that I haven't always had the server, so it can't be that affecting it either.

I know this is an old thread now, but its also an old issue, one that should be fixed ASAP. We're talking basics here - getting the game to launch.
