Posted August 17, 2017 Todays update to the game encountered a few errors with connecting to servers. After a preliminary look into the issue we’ve made the decision to temporarily revert the update to avoid long downtime. We’ll continue to work on the issue and announce when the update is available. While disappointing, the reason we’ve made this decision is to minimise downtime of the game and time lost while we work on the issue. We have managed to reproduce it on our test servers and will be able to work on the fix without impacting play but currently have no ETA. We do apologise for the inconvenience and we know everyone was eager to get building and storing. Hopefully we will have the issue resolved and the update back in action soon. Regards, The Wurm team.

Posted August 17, 2017 Due to the need to revert the update from today, any clients which were updated will need to be cleared from the Java cache before the correct one can be redownloaded. To clear your Java cache click on Start, and then run (Or windows + R key) and type in javaws -viewer and click OK Then click on the wurm online files and remove selected files Once that is done you will be able to click the "Play" button on the website to redownload the launcher. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) dont know how to get the terminal up - my son does that for me, but he is at work atm ok found the terminal and this is what happened: The program 'javaws' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install icedtea-netx Do i have to install javaws ? nevermind, i will wait for my son to get home from work Son home. Now sorted.

Posted August 17, 2017 if it helps, wurm stable gave a connection protocol error, wurm unstable did not. I assume this was the point at which the patch was rolled back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
