Connection Server down?

Suddenly, I am getting a dialog box on startup saying:

"The connection to the update server has been terminated"

Are we down?

you need toclick the start button, click run (or type in to the box if vista) cmd
they type in /ipconfig flushdns

Argh, the same thing is happening to me now. Could you elaborate a little bit on your post Vashiel? I have vista and am a bit confused at what you mean.

Edit: I figured out what you mean by type into box, but typing /ipconfig flushdns seems to do nothing.

Edit#2: Well, its working now lol.

Basically click the 'start' button before that message pops up.

That worked for me at least.

~D~

you can just press enter once the update window opens up, or you can just run the game by your l2.exe in your system folder.. I replaced my desktop shortcut with that one anyway.

I get the same thing every once in a while too, it says "The connection to the update server has been terminated" and I have to open it again and try to start the game before the launcher can connect to the update server.

what i did (since I have a back up copy of L2 and a PTS copy of L2 as well as the game play copy of L2 on my pc) is I clicked on the PTS updater *wich went thru* then clicked the backup copys updater in the backup copy then clicked the normal L2 starter and it fixed itself.

PS i think i confused it jsut as I probably confused 50% of the people reading this thread :P


anyway in simpler terms I have 3 copys of L2 one being the pts, I jsut went though and clicked the updater in all of them and it fixed the error.

I got the "click the start button REALLY quick" solution going now, but rebooting and dns flush etc all didn't fix the real problem. Opened a support ticket, but with the advice to quick-click I am going again...

Much to the chagrin of mobs all over Sayha.

im getting this now tried both launch thingy on desktop and in l2 folder in program files and still connection thingy stupid thing

just create a shortcut from your "C:\Program Files\Lineage II\system" folder and find l2.exe

You'll have to run the original LineageII.exe from the main l2 folder every once in a while to update your client, but it shouldn't be giving you the termination msg every time I think. Just wait for support to hopefully help a bit

OK this is what you need to do for VISTA USERS:

Start, accessories (right click Command Prompt) click copy, paste shortcut to desktop, right click on command prompt and click run as admin, THEN type /ipconfig flushdns

This sometimes happen. The updater is down but not the servers. Just go to your system file and start there your l2.exe and it works ;)

you need toclick the start button, click run (or type in to the box if vista) cmd
they type in /ipconfig flushdns
It's ipconfig /flushdns
