Where was it located I mean I could probably find it but it would help if you could give us a path. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ip and updates.wurmonline.com should be in the same line Edited June 23, 2020 by Zalcrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2020 yeah hosts file didn't do it for me either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) SOLVED by Rollypolly C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (Win10) edit the host file at the bottom type 81.27.240.180 updates.wurmonline.com If you are unable to save this file go to properties click the security tab scroll down to users and grant full access you should then be able to save the file Edited June 23, 2020 by Zalcrow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Hi, this seems to be some intermittent routing issue with the Internet infrastructure. The patch server is up and it works fine for some, and some areas of the world (seems to be mostly UK) apparently can't connect to it. From a quick search, many other online services are also experiencing similar issues - sadly this is not something we can fix ourselves. It should pass shortly if the hosts file trick didn't work for you or you don't want to mess with that. If you change the hosts file, remember to restore it to the state it was beforehand when the issues pass, as it will break the updating process whenever we alter the IP behind that.

Posted June 23, 2020 Hosts file worked for me, thanks RollyPolly TIP: I could not save the file in the etc folder (no permission), so I ran Notepad as Administrator, loaded the hosts file, saved the original text as a .txt file for backup, added RollyPolly's code and saved it back into the etc folder as All files.

Posted June 23, 2020 Also if you're going to screw around with hosts remember to get rid of it at some point as if the Ip ever shifts you'll have problems 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This can never be said too often. It's waaaay better to have a one hour frustration while local ISPs get their DNS settings resolved, than to jump into a "quick" solution that ends up messing you up bigtime weeks or months later because you no longer remember you ever messed with the HOST file, or aren't really clear what a HOST file is and how it works... Myself, I can never remember what settings I made months ago. So I am reluctant to make windows system changes that might later come back to haunt me.

If those directions too hard, it is possibly something better not to mess with, and just to wait it out (as frustrating as that is). it does always resolve itself over time, although sometimes in some cases it can take hours and hours. And maybe set a SYSTEM RESTORE POINT before touching anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Muse was just able to log in using the original hosts file, with no problems, so *hopefully* the issue is now resolved for the majority of UK players. Edited June 23, 2020 by Muse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
