Trouble updating

[MasterKojito]

Hi der, I recently downloaded and reinstalled sro again. I downloaded version 1.80. Anyway, my problem is that when I start sro, I get the message "the server is undergoing inspection or updates. Please...". Then it doesn't update or do anything. Can someone help me? Thanks.

did you add sro_client.exe to your firewall exceptions? there's also some ports you must unblock for sro..
new client means new files, so your firewall may be blocking your new ones. you gotta re-add them.

Can u open the official homepage?

If u can't open it, sro doesn't connect to sro servers :s
This is cause #1 of the 'undergoing inspection' error

Afaik SRO doesn't need any ports to be opened; Windows Firewall detects when sro wants to update/connect & will ask to block or allow it
