Go back out to the bug report forum and follow Tait's instructions the streaming/bitraider bug sticky.

 

In a nutshell you delete a few files out of the Bitraider folder and then re-run the launcher.

 

For me once I did that it started the process of "reorganizing" and "verifying" the game. As I write this, it's currently re-downloading some files. This problem is likely related to so many people needing to patch and re-patch all at once. Was never a big fan of the Bitraider software. In all likelihood some of the important game files were corrupted for some people and therefore the patcher actually needs to download files other than "just" the 4.1a hotfixes. Will advise once it's finished if this actually got it going again.

Tried this again and it worked.

 

Definitely tried at least 5 times before I walked away, did something else, and did those steps again.

I posted this in an older thread as well, but it seems like a lot of people are having this issue...and no response from BW. I was playing fine last night, but since I logged out I can't get back in (208 error). My internet is fine (other games work fine as well). Here is trace route and path ping:

Had 208 then launcher didn't show but was in task manager as launcher.

 

Old basic launcher now shows after I deleted patch folder. Deleted bitraider folder also and nothing works :/

Launcher says login service is unavailable yet servers are "green".

I can't get passed the log in screen. Error 208 unable to locate patch information.

 

Same, uninstalled and reinstalled twice. No luck... :( My internet is just fine and I was able to play before the disaster being patch 4.1 (and 4.1a) :mad:

 

So back to twidling my thumbs I guess. YAY...

Need to revise my statement. Got a tip from a buddy to delete everything inside the "bitraider"-folder. Did that, started the launcher, logged in and got nowhere (game didn't launch).

Opened launcher again, logged in (cause I'm very stubborn) and BAM, logged in like nothing ever happened... ***?

 

Anyway. For now, game seems to work fine.

Game started working after I tried something.

not sure how this works, since it is the first time i subscribe, are they going to add bonus time to our subscription since we are unable to access what we paid for ?

 

No, they most likely won't add bonus time or anything else beyond an apology. They want to take our money and push out new content but I seriously don't think they do as much testing as they really should before releasing new content. This is sadly the result and we customers end up paying the price.

For those that get to the "Play" button, click it, and end up back on your desktop with the game closing down, try what I did - as I was having the same problem once the patch was updated and the server issue resolved.

 

I opened the launcher again and when asked for my password, I used all lower case. When it finally came back and said it was the wrong password, I input it again the correct way and when I got to hit the "Play" button again, it finally opened the client - though I'll admit it almost looked like it wasn't going to. It was slow in opening it compared to usual.

I did that and was able to play, but i had to log out and then came back a bit later to play again and now i can't get in. Even by entering the wrong password i can't get in.

Indeed, super buggy chapters and oh whats that? Useless alliance packs that have the biggest draw is gambling on a stupid chance cube? Are you even trying anymore? Have you gone full retard or are you just trying to lose subs?

 

The game finally let me log in with a regular log in at 1904 EST. Yay only took you all day since the patch...
