My game is screwed! Help plz!

SadisticK

Ok so I was on mxo earlier 2nite logged off and fell asleep. I woke up at 3 am here and tried to log back in and when the launcher started it stopped b4 I got to the login part and threw up an error that said a file was mission so mxo couldnt start I believe it was patch error -15 or something like that. I tried it 3 more times with same result. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Now the launcher wont start it all it keeps popping up an error screen with no error code that says I dont have an internet connection so the game cant start. But my internet is working fine. Can ne1 help?

Sounds like you were trying to patch when the servers were down.

Are you still getting this?

*applies standard Jeffers fix*

Run internet explorer (MUST run MSIE not firefox or opera or any other)

open the "File" menu

check that "Work offline" is not ticked.

also please post the FULL msinfo and DXdiag.

People often post the same info you did, It's not very helpful as it doesn't tell us the specific details of your system config (not system specs) that cause these sort of problems.

No need nemore I remembered how in WoW whenever they did a patch I would have to clear the program from the norton list and let it recheck it for the game to work. Tried that on this and it fixed it. Not a problem with my comp or the game or the patch, just more bs caused by good ol norton......yay....lol well thx neways guys I appreciate that yall replied so quickly. Have a good 1.

**phi**

Ahh good old Norton... It gets worse with each release. SMILEY

Why it can't just pop-up and tell you that the program file has changed and ask if you want to allow the new version.

**Fondo**

Just like good ol' ZoneAlarm. Ahh the greatness, I could drown in its splendor. Ahhhh SMILEY

Does norton remind ne1 else of the Big Brother govt program? Its way over-protective, its looking into every single thing you do, and it will screw you over on the stupidest of things.

**TSR-DanT**

Yes, if you're having trouble connecting after a patch, always check the anti virus software first, as it would be the first thing I would check with you.

Chuui

Why it can't just pop-up and tell you that the program file has changed and ask if you want to allow the new version.

It doesn't? Strange, my one (NIS 2006) always gives me a pop-up asking what I want to do with the executable after a patch.

**jeffers**

I'm not sure, but I think within NIS there is an option to change the mode it works in. One of the top of my head is definately learning mode and can't remember what the other one is.

Anyway, one of those modes will popup the box asking you about a changed program wanting internet access like Chuui says.
