Not sure if it relates to your problem, but the game is down right now for the official launch. Monday June 16 at 7pm pacific there is a prelaunch for people who bought the pay to play packages ahead of time. Then it opens for everyone on the 19th.
You can also check the zip file to make sure you didn’t download the old beta client. Yours should be RequiemClient_2008613.zip
i got the right client
but becomes requiem pay to play??
i hope not
You don't have to p2p. That's just an option that affects death penalty, how quickly you gain xp, and allows you to use regional chat.

Back to your orginal issue, there seems to be a lot of people posting on the requiem forums about the same problem. Can't find a thread that has the answers though. If I had to guess I'd say the servers used to update the launcher aren't up right now.
EDIT: I just finished installing this game. I can get past the launcher, past the logos when the game starts to where it asks for name and password. I only get a server error when I put in my name and password and try to start the game. Whatever is going on apparently is only affecting some people.
the game opens to the public the 19th, go check the games forum's faq...you get to play 3 days early if you signed up early for p2p
That's true Crunchy, but it does not explain why I can get all the way to game log in screen and Nick can't even get the launcher/patcher to open.
A lot of people are having the same problem as Nick. If it is a server issue it would make sense that it would affect everyong the same way, it does not.
I get why I can't log in, I just don't get why some people can get farther into the software than others. And its not premium vs free either, the error happens to people well before you put in your account info.
EDIT: Here are two posts I found on the requiem forums. Only the first one is from a Moderator so don't try what's in the second post unless you are feeling brave.
"Please understand that an Error 06 message means that there is a connection issue between your system and our servers. There are several things that need to be checked for this type of error.
First, do you have the correct ports open in the firewall and router? The ports needed are 21, 80, 7110, and 7230. Remember to check both the firewall and router because they are two separate settings. To check if it might be the router configuration, try connecting directly to the Internet without going through your router. If you plug the cable in to your computer and can connect to the patch server without the error message, then you need to reconfigure the router port settings. This varies from router to router, so check your router's manual or your ISP on how to do so. If you are part of a network, such as a business or a school, you will need to contact your network administrator to check these settings.
Second, are you running the client with full permissions? In Vista, this means running the client in Administrator mode. If you do not have full Admin privileges, then your OS may simply be blocking the connection based on User privileges.
Finally, check your anti-virus software. Many anti-virus programs restrict Internet connections from a program unless that program has been added to a safe list. Check your anti-virus program to make certain that it allows Requiem, both the patch client and the game client, to connect to the Internet as necessary.
If all of these settings check out and you are still receiving the error, then it is probable that the patch server is full at the time you are trying to connect. There are several hundred people all trying to connect and patch at the same time and the server can only handle so many at a time. Please be patient and try again at a later time. Be assured that the server is up and running (only for patching), just kinda clogged right now with everyone trying to rush it all at the same time."

"i downloaded the open beta client and had the same error #6 right after install. i read the suggestions about setting your router to DMZ or bypassing it altogether and how the update servers were down, but this worked for me.
Remove the following files from your GravityRequiem Installation Directory:
PatchDownload.exe
Launcher2.exe
patchw32.dll
Then enter the GravityRequiemPatches Directory and remove all files within this directory (If any). Now back out to GravityRequiem once again and run UPDATERUSA.exe. Once the program begins it should re-download all the previously deleted files and allow for you to update successfully.
the launcher opened and began updating.

Server may have been down when you tried to connect.
Check your firewall settings to make sure that Requiem has proper access. Obviously you've given the updater access.
Run a trace (tracert) to make sure that the pathway between your ISP and the game host isn't having issues.
Hey guys I am new to this site and to the MMORPG. I downloaded it so many times. I tried to play it
I heard about the servers being down and its official launch on the 19th well I tried after that time and it still doesn't work. The client downloads and then it starts to automatically patch when the screen comes up [normal] then after like around 50% it says:
error 02 : Patch Error
then I click OK and it says
Failed Patch Binding
then when I click OK it is ready to start. Then I click Start and the whole thing launches I enter my screen name and password. When I click enter it says:
Alert
Client Version Does Not Match
Please try to log in later.
This I believe is all occurring because the patch is not being able to update and I don't know why. Can anyone help. I really need help. Is there any place I can manually patch it? I am waiting for reply, I can't wait to play!!
I also wanted to say that I found a link to download the patch however it isn't binding with the client. For some reason. Do I need some type of file for it, maybe something happened there. or is there some type of software I need? like direct x or I read in some other forum about furget or something like that. Please help!
Error #02 - Check the following:
#1-That you have the game package for release: RequiemClient_20080613.zip . Visit Requiem's official site and either download from their server or the bittorrent. The game has rapidly gone from Closed-beta, open-beta and now release - each having it's own version of the client. Some mirror sites may be distributing an old package.
#2 Check and make sure that Requiem has full privileges (in Vista that means Administrator privs.).
#3 Navigate to your installation directory of the game and if you have a Patches directory (it is created when updates are downloaded) delete all patches in the Patches folder.
#4 Run the game and click on the Full Check button. If everything checks out OK you should be all set.
#5 If none of the above works and you are still having patch problems, go to your game installation directory and open Version.dat file (in a text editor like Notepad) and lower the version numbers. So if the two version numbers are 00000058 (58 is the newest patch), change it to 00000057 or lower, save the file and then restart the game. The updater will then download and install all new updates from the one you set. [Basically what happened here is the patcher updated the version.dat file before confirming that the update installed properly.]
Honestly I didn't get your first 4 steps so i looked at the v.dat file. Its at 47 and I lowered it to 10 so wherever it is it will be patched. Hopefully it works. I think it just might be because the files are all mixed up and this seems like a promising solution. I'll hold my thanks until it is successful
