Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Could I please get some help with playing the game from below? Connection Error Can't log in, with the error message at the bottom being "Update failed! (Error: Error opening connection to patch server.)" If I tick "I agree to the EULA", the "Retry Update" button greys out. Filler Information Recently installed 64-Bit Windows 10 (fresh PC) Locale England News Screen (as above) is blank Veteran Player Attempts to Resolve/Debug Spamming "Retry Update" Ran as admin Re-installed Java (64-bit) Disable Windows Firewalls Edited Hosts File with dated (2017 forum post) DNS IP, then removed Used VPN to visit Germany/UK Verified www.wurmonline.com is working Waited 16 hours (will wait the full 48 hours recommended in one post eventually...) Anything else I might be obviously missing as I continue to tinker? Edited February 12, 2020 by Encrtia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Is there any official way to request technical support? Eitherway, updated the above post to be more informative as this issue doesn't appear to be quickfix from the lack of response & past posts.

Posted February 12, 2020 Looks like something on your end is blocking all connection attempts made by the launcher if even the "simple" html news page fails to load. No other software running which might do this other than Windows Firewall, AVG, Avast, Comodo, etc? Do you have another machine you could test with? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2020 Same happens intermittently here for a few days on our w10 machine, it works after trying 2-3 times. No issues found yet on the other, Linux machine which is on the same subnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I have no anti virus software installed yet, I'll have to see if there is anything blocking it as it makes sense. Should I find something (not too sure how beyond killing programs), I'll update here. I have a laptop, but am sure that'll work. Will test in a bit. Do you think port forwarding might help at all? 4 hours ago, Jaz said: Same happens intermittently here for a few days on our w10 machine, it works after trying 2-3 times.

I regret/rejoice to inform, that disabling Windows 10 Firewall somehow didn't disable the Windows 10 firewall. As I didn't have anything else capable of blocking Wurm Online, I manually added it to the Exceptions List (despite never being requested to add/block), &.. it worked.. My bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2020 Can you provide the URL that you added to your exceptions list? I want to try this for my friend's machine having the same problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2020 No - I merely went into Firewall & network protection -> Allow an app through the firewall -> Wurm Online ( I think WurmLauncher64.exe?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
