The connect box doesn't light up.

Post#1 » Fri Sep 16, 2016 6:02 pm

I hate to make this topic again, but last time nobody replied to me, and so far I haven't seen anyone in the forum have this specific issue.

I'm a new player, and this is my first time downloading and trying to play WAR.
I've followed all the steps in the guide, but I still can't play.
When I click on RoRlauncher.exe, the connect box is greyed out, web server is marked red and login server is marked yellow.

Of course, I checked the Common Issues post, but I have a problem.
Web Server appears red / Login Server appears yellow:

- This happens if the World server is down. There's a server status thread here.

- How to fix this problem (when it's not caused by the World server being down!):

1. click on start
2. type into the search-box cmd (before clicking enter press ctrl+shift) then also enter while holding them (runs cmd as admin)
3. the cmd window open up
4. type in:

netsh winsock reset catalog (resets winsock entries to install values)
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log (resets ipv4 to install values)
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log (reset ipv6 to install values)

5. restart the computer
6. log-in and enter the battlefield!

The netsh winsock reset catalog part works.
But when I try to enter the other two, the console tells me that the "int ipv6 reset reset.log" and "int ipv4 reset reset.log " commands aren't found.

I reset the computer, and the issue remains.
What should I do?

When the web server thing is red it means it couldn't connect to the web server, or had some issues.
The launcher will only try and connect to the game server after it has connected to the web server. (hence it staying the default yellow)
