Lamannia client won't connect

[Missing_Minds]

Got it, the "choose your own adventure" method.

Then again I'm still wondering why the preview server is a 3rd party and not something in house that they can fix first hand.

It is a "cost savings" solution in so far that they do not need to retain people that understand how the software works to fix it, let alone pay people to develop a solution when a COTS already exists.

Out of date next update.

How do you get users to keep the torrent up to date? (preferably automatically as users are inherently lazy.) Have they actually created a method yet for torrent streams to get automatically updated to the correct version? I ask that one seriously as I seldom torrent any more.

If only there was a way for an old version of the game to get updated...

Now that's just cooky talk

I did one better I separated the launcher/updater from the game files and packaged it as a cure all.

I'm actually starting to get a bit annoyed at not being able to log in. Usually I'd just say "meh, I'll go do something else", but I REALLY want to check out the enhancement pass, and give some feedback on it. The inability to get past the fricking "waiting..." part of the launcher is seriously testing my patience at this point, since it's been 3+ days, with no fix in sight.

^^^^^ THIS to the 3rd power or more.... Been about 5+days for me and I'm DYING to get into Lamannia and try out the new enhancement pass..... HELLO! Squeek? You there? This is beyond frustrating and disappointing. I want to get in test things out and give some feedback. Any eta on when the droves of people (not everyone reads the forums and an even smaller minority actually posts on the forums) that are itching to test things out for the developers might be able to get in?

On a side note, noticing there has been absolutely no movement on this issue in almost a week.... Anyone out there that is able to get in happen to have an older version of the downloader/installer they might share with the rest of us that are locked out of Lamannia? Pretty Please? With sugar on it?

I would just like to make note that I have several very happy people that successfully fixed there lama client with my patch and are now testing on lama.

I can vouch for this patch. It works.

Is this the day hope is restored, or confirmation of Turbine's lack of motivation to resolve issues.

[SqueakofDoom]

Just to clarify, this issue is directly related to the Pando issue? If not, please help us understand how the preview server is dependent on a 3rd party for connecting to the client. Is the preview server not a Turbine product?

Unfortunately, this is directly related to the Pando issue. We are working with Pando to get it fixed.

I know this situation is very frustrating for everyone, and I want this issue to be sorted out as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it is not something I can personally solve. I will keep you updated as I find out more.

We have also decided to keep previously viewed Class Enhancement Trees available as we preview the new trees. Hence, for Thursday's build, you will have access to Druid, Favored Soul, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard as well as Artificer, Cleric, Fighter, and Ranger. (And then access to all trees for the last week of the Enhancements Alpha Preview.)

Since we are waiting on Pando, bad business decision by the way, can you give Brickwall permission to post his fix on the forums? After all, you are wanting as many people providing feedback on the enhancements as possible, right?

FYI devs-

Downloaded Lama last night.

Same problem as OP.

I sad panda now.

For legal reasons, I'm sure they can't give that permission or endorse it in any way. Even though it works.

Will I have access - really?

Or will the problem continue?

Problems will continue. And people wonder why we complain so much about Pando.

Have him post it on a 3rd party site/fan site.

We would be better off with a panda delivering the information.

My mailbox is overflowing with requests and thanks so i'm just going to post the fix and so be it what ever they want to do to me about it.

Instructions:
This patch is a self extracting rar it is a silent installation it extracts the files directly in to the default installation folder.
If you did a custom install you can either extract it with WinRAR or go the default folder and move the files by hand.
The default installation path : C:/ProgramFiles/Turbine/DDO Unlimited(Preview).
The files contained within the patch are nothing more then the latest known working launcher files.
The download it self is hosted by media fire you may notice a lot of ads on the download page be sure you look carefully for the real download link in the box with the mediafire logo and the file name.
I think this about covers any problems users have experienced so far.
Side notes : I've personally been able to extract and completely patch the client in place on my desktop. I have also created a copy for DDO live.

I have no control over him. You could ask him yourself
