Problems with installation

Post by iGod »

I just downloaded the new version of SRO from silkroadonline.net, it's v1.59

and the manual patch that is on the site is only 1.62-1.64 i think, is there any solution

other than downloading the client v1.01 again from gamershell.com(as an example)? Thank you...

EDIT: geez I just downloaded the v1.01 client and installed the manual patch v1.030
But it wont connect to the server to update it to 1.62, same happened with the v1.59 one.......
Anyone have a solution to this? Do i have to add some ip to the hosts file after i install the
v1.59 one because it say there is a server inspection, that might be it

anyway, someone have that ip?

You are missing a IP address in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

folder to joymax: 222.111.150.111 gwgt1.joymax.com

This fix is really easy.
Go to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and there you will find the "hosts" file with no extension.

There you should see some files. Open the one named "hosts" with notepad. Right click on the hosts file to open. The "Open With" window opens and you select Notepad.

There you will see:
For example:
2 IPs here. below that you will see
127.0.0.1 localhost (below this line add the missing IP Below)
222.111.150.111 gwgt1.joymax.com

Then you press CTRL + S and its saved as the same file type you opened.Close notepad. (Do Not try to save it as a Note Pad file type as it will not work!)
That it now Go play!!.

This has been posted numerous times on the official board by different people. It appears to be some problem with the launcher resolving your IP/DNS Connection. No matter what it is this "fix" will make it work for you again.

Thx man, i turned off my firewall so that doesnt do it for me...

Ok guys, for those who ever get the same problem this is the solution:

1. download/install client v1.001 (http://www.fileplanet.com/158696/150000 ... ine-Client)

2. download/install patch from v1.001-v1.062 (http://www.fileplanet.com/168044/160000 ... tch-v1.061)

3. download/install patch v1.062-v1.064 (SRO official databank at the moment)

Ok have fun
