Unspecified Patch Error

[Meilicious]

I tried updating to U8 earlier. It was running smoothly until I got an error saying I was low on HD memory. So went to DEL some files to free up HD space. When I tried running DDO again, I couldn't get through Examine Game Data and I only get Unspecified Patch Error.



I'm running on Win7 and I last played before the servers went down for maintenance.

I have UAC disabled.

I'm using Comodo Internet Security and I've put all DDO .exe files save the uninstalls on Trusted App and Trusted Files. I have Firewall and Defense on Training mode and I don't have Game Mode on. (I had issues with it with another MMO so I disabled it.) I also tried disabling Comodo completely and I'm still getting the same error.

Cleaned the cache using CCleaner and rebooted the PC as well but same result.

I tried TurbineRegisterGDF.exe solution but I don't even have PatchWrapper.dll and PatchWrapperPS.dll only PatchWrapper2.dll and PatchWrapper2PS.dll I tried following the steps using these files but only got an error and not a success message.

I'm trying to avoid reinstalling since I don't have the best internet connection. DLing the installer is going to take me 25 hours!

Unspecified patch error message relates to firewall:

Some security products still interfere even if disabled due to the services they use.

You could try rolling back the patch in case it's a file lock that's causing the problem:

Copy the contents of C:\Program Files\Turbine\DDO Unlimited\Backup into the DDO Unlimited folder and relaunch the program to patch the files again

I tried rolling back the patch. Copied everything from the Backup folder to the root DDO folder. I also removed the .exe files exceptions on my Firewall and Defense and re-added them.

My bad! I actually meant that I have tried running DDO and closed Comodo completely. That didn't work either. Not that I'd be willing to connect to the internet without a firewall.

Anyhow, at first it seemed to be working as I saw the old launcher skin (Monk) Updating Programs all 27/27 of them.



After the update was done it relaunched itself. Now my launcher has the new U8 skin and is now back to the Unspecified patch error. I've rolled back the patch two times already.

As DDOClient.exe was one of the files patched you will probably need to remove and re-add it to your firewall exception again (along with Turbinelauncher.exe and Turbineinvoker.exe )

[Meilicious]

Yes. I have done that. Whenever I tried rolling back the patch I remove and re-add the exceptions.

I even DLed the new Comodo from their website and ran DDO launcher and waited for it to ask permission. Whenever it did, I hit "Allow" but I still get the same result.

I'm trying to DL the new DDO installer. That's doing ok. I have the PDM and the ddohigh.exe on my exceptions list and it connects fine. I just can't figure out why the launcher won't work.

I tried exiting COMODO completely and running the launcher. That doesn't work either.

Have you checked to ensure the Windows 7 firewall is completely disabled and the service stopped?

Does the firewall log show any events?

Does defense+ event log show anything being blocked?

Is Sandbox switched on?

You may need to open the ports in the Comodo product and/or your router:

I have turned off windows 7 firewall for home and public network. Firewall doesn't log any events. Defense + as well. Sandbox is disabled. Still trying to figure out how to manually open a port for windows 7.


Went to control panel > network and internet > view network status and tasks > and wasn't able to right click on anything. Maybe this: If the Settings button is unavailable, ICF is not enabled on this connection, and you do not have to open any ports (because they are all already open).

Here's the manual:
http://help.comodo.com/uploads/helpe...er%20Guide.pdf

Section 3.1 on page 156 shows the event log for this product and the advanced filters on page 161 shows how to open ports in your firewall.

Same problem here (win7 64) and I got this working by enabling and then disabling the built-in windows firewall. I rebooted in between but that probably wasn't required.

It still errored out 3 more times but it made visable progress each time and finally it just started (continued) the patch process.

Don't forget to re-enable your preferred firewall after you finish.
