Download corrupted, shortcut doesn't work, going from the exe, goes to the server screen (with a duff login) but client version mismatch?

    Sh**, got the same problem...updater is broken after the corrupt dwonloads...what to do now? reinstall?

  • mrw0lfmrw0lf Member Posts: 2,269

    It renames patcher on patching which is the route for the shortcut, renamed the old ones, wont bother with redoing though as my guess is the new patch is borked. I'll be leaving it a few hours methinks

    Same here, real clever, corrupted the conanpatcher.exe, I renamed the temp and am trying to update again.

    I had the same problem. I trawled through the patcher log and found the download location for the patch file:

    http://aoc-eu-control.live.ageofconan.com/upm/AoCLiveEU/PatcherSetup.exe

    Download this manually, dump the one in your AoC folder, then copy the new one over and run it.

    This will fix things and carry on patching the game - it's worked for me!

    Good luck and see you in Hyboria!

    ok guys, heres a work around:

    Go into the installation folder were AoC is installed.  Look for the following file and copy it elsewhere for safe keeping:

    ConanPatcher.exe.1.tmp

    Rename the original one that is in the AoC install folder to :  ConanPatcher.exe

    Then double click it to run the patching software.  If it falls over again, the patch is knackered and we'll have to wait till they redo it.  Wait till later and do the above again. 

    EDIT:  hehe looks like others are doing the same.

    Some appear to be in thoug? maybe the load is just corrupting the d/l. Also the .1.tmp is the previous one and will d/l a new patcher first :( (well did for me)

    Something already messed up, impressive.

    I knewthe tmp patcher wa an old one, it was created onthe 14th for me, I was counting on it downloading the newer file, unfortunately it sat at the "Downloading patch information" message after getting the new patcher file..

    I think they're doing it deliberately, they're building tension and suspense. I'm pretty damn tense right now I can tell ya

    I'm spamming, but I don't care.

    New patches!!! a little one then another 18meg but on full bandwidth thank god. 18Mg at 20kbs would not have been funny

    Patching finally, 168mb, with any luck one of the two people at my house may be able to log in to the server in about half an hour.

    I won't voice my opinions on how this pre-release has been handled, suffice to say it wouldn't be pleasant, here's hoping they don't screw up the  official releases as well.

  • mrw0lfmrw0lf Member Posts: 2,269

    Stick with it guys, after the last one it goes through, good luck and stab ya soon.

    I'm past tense, I'm pissed off, it'll be an hour before everyone at my house is patche dup and ready to go, and why I'll never know, since a friend of mine has the exactsame client ( I gave it him yesterday) he patched at the exact same time and he didn't need to download yet anohter 168mb patch.

    Correction, the download speed has halved, that's two hours.

    In future let us bloody patch hours before launch, not one hour before launch and then break the server for three and a half hours and then make us all patch at the exact same time again.

    Just a reminder and clarification:

    If you get the patch corrupted error, go to the game directory and look for all times named ConanPatcher.exe.#.tmp where # is a number.

    Rename the newest one (the one with the higher number) to ConanPatcher.exe and run it.

    Patching fine for me now and at a much faster rate than earlier as well.
