New Launcher: Not connecting to login server

Post#1 » Wed Feb 25, 2015 6:43 am

After entering my login info and hitting the connect button the launcher doesn't appear to do anything. It just sits there. It shows the login server is up. Is there a certain amount of time I need to wait for it to connect? Thanks

Works instant for me. The launcher seems to connect over port 80 and 8000. Maybe 8000 is blocked by your firewall.

Once the launcher can verify a connection with the server, the "Connect" button becomes enabled.

It might take a little bit longer (5-10 seconds) on first use of the launcher.

When the login server lights up green that means the connection has been established. Clicking connect actually just logs in, which I realise now is kind of misleading.

The launcher may need admin rights to launch WAR.exe

This, last night I resolved several people's log in issues by JUST running the launcher as Administrator lol.

Hello!
I have similar problems to log in. The Launcher connect, the game loads an then.. stop. In the right of the screen the image stays black. Yesterday evening it runs normally. Any advice? Thx.

Second Problem: The Launcher has encountered an error. But this was always and the game runs without problems

After I click connect, an error window pops up with this message.. any help? I've tried unblocking ports 80 and 8000, and no dice.

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Arnaldo Jorge\Desktop\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.

EDIT: I've also tried running it as an administrator*

Same here.
The launcher is the new one, but only the error message pops up

I`m no expert. But didn't work here. Did it several times. Maybe the problem is my computer?! :x
