Return of Reckoning

I tried reinstalling everything still doenst work. i don't get an error message so can't show you one.
the login server file does change after atempting to log in.

Original text is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RootElementOfAnyName>
<MythLoginServiceConfig>
<Settings>
<ProductId>2</ProductId>
<MessageTimeoutSecs>24</MessageTimeoutSecs>
</Settings>
<RegionList>
<Region regionName="prod">
<PingServer serverName="None">
<Address>0.0.0.0</Address>
<Port>0</Port>
</PingServer>
<LoginServerList>
<LoginServer serverName="ReturnOfReckoning01052015">
<Address>178.32.58.46</Address>
<Port>8048</Port>
</LoginServer>
</LoginServerList>
</Region>
</RegionList>
</MythLoginServiceConfig>
</RootElementOfAnyName>


After logging in it changes to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RootElementOfAnyName>
<MythLoginServiceConfig>
<Settings>
<ProductId>2</ProductId>
<MessageTimeoutSecs>24</MessageTimeoutSecs>
</Settings>

<LoginServerList>
<LoginServer serverName="20160805">

<Port>8048</Port>
</LoginServer>
</LoginServerList>
</Region>
</RegionList>
</MythLoginServiceConfig>
</RootElementOfAnyName>

It seems like I cant log in after the new patch, Does not want to connect to the web server, it just shows red. Checked anti virus and firewall.

Well I have a similar problem, the launcher works fine I believe its the client I am seeing a problem in it starts fine but when its attempts to log in after the Handshaking process it seems to fail to successfully login, I don't know what to do at this point.

having a problem also first had to use the vpn as it would just timeout was able to create a character and enter the world took about 2 steps and logged out returned a hour later tried to login but it wont get past the initial screen with the black box just getting a message "authentication failed -- application will now terminate" any help would be appreciated


edit: disregard just had to swap vpn

After removing read only, adding firewall and antivirus exceptions, making sure the files are unblocked and running as admin, getting most recent launcher, rebuilding performance whatevers, etc. I still get this error:


Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName)
at MYPHandler.MYPHandler..ctor(String filename, del_FileTableEventHandler eventHandler_FileTable, del_FileEventHandler eventHandler_Extraction, HashDictionary hashDic)
at RoRLauncher.Client.UpdateWarData()

By same problem I mean I'm getting the same error code and results as OP. I've added exceptions in my firewall and antivirus, I've rebuilt my performance whatevers, restarted my computer, made sure the files aren't read only and are unblocked, and I'm running as administrator. But I still get this:


Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName)
at MYPHandler.MYPHandler..ctor(String filename, del_FileTableEventHandler eventHandler_FileTable, del_FileEventHandler eventHandler_Extraction, HashDictionary hashDic)
at RoRLauncher.Client.UpdateWarData()

So this error
Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.

Might be related to UAC being disabled. User Account Control. It's the Windows function that prompts certain types of files to run. Turn that on, set it to the lowest security level if that's what you want. As a long-time sysadmin, we never turn this off, and only lower it on trusted devices (your home device would be considered trusted).

It also might be related to needing to run WAR.exe as admin. You need to force it to run as admin by right clicking on WAR.exe, Properties, Compatibility tab, always run as admin.

If that fixes the issue, let me know and I'll add it to the sticky.

Make sure you have directx file in your game folder. Even if your Windows is 64bit, you need the 32bit directx file.

I turned down UAC, installed DX10. 9.0c isn't compatible with windows 10 even in compatibility mode. Both War.exe and launcher are run as admin. Still get the same error.
