#36300413876 02/25/2008 04:38:46 Login error after patching launcher
I have just downloaded the patch, however I cannot log in to patch the game files. I have patched the launcher and it's up to date but each time I try to log in it says "Authenticating....Failure (ERROR)" and that's it.

What do I do? I want to play in Datamine /sniff


EDIT: The first time I tried I had  -noeula -user ********** -pwd *********** in the command line, I don't know if that makes any difference. I tried taking it out and doing it and still won't get past login.

Thats because its not ready yet lol The notes said the patch would take 3 hours and its been like 1 so just hold your horses and try again later. The server's won't even be open yet.

But doesn't PST = GMT + 8? or did I just get that very wrong.

Yeah I think they turn off the Authen server so you cant log in, they should turn it on soon seeing as the launcher patched then we can download the update but the servers will probably stay down for a while while they... mess about I guess SMILEY

It's at these kinda times with the servers being down, for longer than expected, that we get some class spam going on.

That's probably because people are bored SMILEY

Well I'm so sorry for being confused about the whole patching situation, I hope you can forgive me and maybe one day I'll be as God-like at being a *twit* as you are.

Yeah.....that's not the word I used, it's what the forums automatically replace the similar word I used with. Hence the start around the word like *CENSORED*

O.o.. well since you joined 3 yrs ago.. I thought "silly me" that you would have been familiar with how the patching goes.  Then again maybe you left, and came back after a week. /shrug

I left and came back after a year, and have never been around at the time when the patch i s being implemented, I have previously had a job to go to each time.

Also my second post, the original one of this string wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at flecky.

flecky wasn't calling you a spammer, he was just pointing out that when the servers are down (either by patch or crash) that everyone heads to the forums and spam away.
