Fatal Error: Failed to Download patch information

BlathianBlathian Member UncommonPosts: 23

whenever i click on the game this is the message im getting in the updater.  Also when i click on the game icon in the games folder in vista..its first makes me sign in, but says "Age of Conan-Beta Update Login"

is that what everyone else gets?, i installed the game from the "early access" client bit torrent , not a beta.

    I'm under the impression that the final patch will be loaded on the 17th of may. would anyone else like to chime in?

    whenever i click on my AoC icon it keeps saying Fatal Error: failed to download patch information. is there anything i can do to correct this, or is the patcher down?

    If you Pre-Ordered the game but failed to get Early Access: Wait til May 20th to complain.

    If you Pre-Ordered the game and are in Early access: Did a 730mb Patch come in and then a 77mb patch, thereafter?  If so, then just wait it out...  Servers arent up yet and it seems the patch server is down.

    If youjust bought the game from Gamestop today or aquired it some other way, then wait til the 20th.

    When in doubt, uninstall and reinstall

    The patch servers have been down all day.  Don't worry plenty of time to patch prior to the gates opening at 17:00 GMT tomorrow

    I got the Fatal Error message too. I did a verify/repair and it went away. (Not  that any later patches are avialable as the servers are down like others have mentioned.

    I picked up AoC game at EB games today after trying all week to download Early access from my E-mail which was a failure. i installed the game from EB store which went very well, but the download patch says fatal error. i did apply and pay for early access from funcom. will this be a problem for patching the game?

    Server could be down, I've been trying to patch for the last hour.  Anyone know for sure if servers are off line?

    You will get that error message if the patch server is down. This used to be a hot topic in the CB until a dev put the issue to rest.

    Twisted, You should be fine.  If $5 was deducted from your CC, then you still have Early Access:

    Go into Your Subscriptions from http://register.ageofconan.com

    and if it says:

    Early Access: Begins May, 17th 2008, Pre-order: The War Mammoth, Age of Conan

    everything is OK for the 17th

    I left my AoC client open trying to patch (I'd previously downloaded the 700mb patch)....its now just sprung into life scanning and patching

    31mb patch....

    followed by a 13mb patch.....

    followed by a 140 mb patch....

    Looks like they've opened the patching servers, if only for a little while.

    I can't wait to play !!! GIEFFFF!

    odd considering I only had to download 1 x 740 mb patch, and then smaller ones.  Perhaps yours didnt patch correctly last time.  Just keep your eye on it.  After downloading it, close down the client and restart it to see if it starts downloading the 740 mb patch again.

    Hiyas, i have just bought the retail version of Aoc but after installing and turning on the patch, i get a message saying Fatal Error : failed to download patch information files. i have done everything i could and have search many many threads and forums but i cant figure out why. i sent a thing to Aoc Support but it has almost been a week and they have yet to reply. some people state that the server are down -- but on my patcher update message is workings and it says that all servers are up.

    any suggestions , i am doin something wrong?
