Unable to connect / new install of AWS
« on: October 26, 2012, 02:46:12 pm »
I have downloaded the client and everything appeared to install ok. I got all the updates successfully as well. I was able to login to the AWS forums with no issue but when trying to log in to the game.. it just stays on "connecting...". I have set compatibility mode, run as administrator, and disabled my firewall and get the same results. Any ideas??

Thx,

Psyforge

I couldn't get it to work earlier, so i deleted what i had on my computer. I tried to download the full version, but lost conection or something, maybe i'll try again later. But just right now i downloaded the Lite installer. And when it opened up, is said, downloading update (5.3MB). And it supposedly finished downloading, but then it said, in order for changes to be made a restart is required.. and so it automatically closed and tried to start up again, but then i get an error message saying "another instance of the game is already running" . So i never really get the update/am ever able to get to the login screen. Suggestions? I know others have managed to get into the game

@POPPS, try setting Client.exe up in Compatibility Mode and see if that solves the problem.

@ATO (your name is too long! 8-P), sometimes Client.exe takes a while to shut down completely. If it's still saying another instance is running try a reboot and see if it'll update.

I just installed C210 on a totally different PC for the first time ever and was getting the same "Client.exe has stopped responding" even though it was in the middle of "initializing engine" (during the 3rd or 4th pass). I right-clicked Client.exe, picked Properties, then Compatibility, enabled 'Run this program in compatibility mode for" and picked 'Windows 7' and now it loads all the way. Just pick the last option, which will be the same as the version of Windows you're running. And depending on your user account type, you may have to enable 'Run this program as an administrator' too.

I updated my driver (thanks for the links from Jarod (topic "low fps"), and so this time, the 5.3MB update seemed to go through, and i was really happy, because it restarted successfully. For the next half hour, i watched as the client downloaded C201-C210 (10 updates total) probably worth 2GB.. and then after the C210 update, it said again "to apply update needs a restart blah blah, and so it closed down like before, but never opened back up- an error message popped up, (i took a pic on my phone so i could write what it said -

"The instruction at 0x10371210 referenced memory at 0x00000000.
 The memory could not be read.

Click OK to terminate the program."

and when i went to my program files to my survival folder, nothing was there (the updates that i supposedly updated, didn't get downloaded.. so. what do i do next? I mean, at least there is progress from the last attempt.
