Update failed! (Error: Errow opening connection to patch server.)

[Jakari 6]

Anyone having this issue. Earlier i was able to log in a play then a couple hours later i start getting this error. On 2 separate computers i get the same message.

you can try this thread:

 

http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/124671-error-opening-connection-to-patch-server/?p=1281729

 

The solution involves editing the HOST file to include the patch servers IP address (directions on how to find and edit HOST is in that same thread)

 

 

adding  "185.59.221.13 updates.wurmonline.com" to the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc seems to have done the trick 

 

 

 

There is also a discussion + youtube video HowTo in this thread:

Or you can try relogging later as usually the issue resolves itself with time as your ISP updates their DNS nameserver listings. Not everyone has to take these extra steps, they are more for people who really do not want to wait possibly hours for it to start working again for them.

Hopefully this resolves itself, i was able to log on with 1 comp but not the other. I tried your fix to the host file in windows but i cant get it to save. Says i dont have admin rights which i do have.

If you can get on with a different computer in the same house then I would keep trying. One other thing to try is flushing the DNS cache:

 

To flush DNS for a computer running Windows, please follow these steps:

1. On your local machine, open a command prompt.
   
2. Within the prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns.
   

 

This will only help people whose ISP has the DNS updated but their computer is still running off a cache version. I think. I am not sure. I don't expect this step alone to help many people. 

The good part is, eventually the problem should resolve on its own, the bad news is that could take 1-48 hours.  I would also reboot the computer and see if it helps.

Connection to patch server failed, falling back to Coral.

Coral failed as well, abandoning this attempt.

class.OYBqnaeGJB: Error opening connection to patch server.

java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

 

 

*** I am not sure what that red text means, but usually "Connection to patch server failed, falling back to Coral" is a routing issue between your ISP and the patch server and not something WurmOnline can resolve, you must either wait  for your routing issue to resolve or see "Patching issues" paragraph:  http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/27625-common-issues-and-fixes/

 

or http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/124671-error-opening-connection-to-patch-server/?p=1281729

 

 

 

Another final thing you can try, is in the launcher going to PACK UPDATES tab and uncheck the OPTIONAL PACKS checkboxes
