Game won't launch

[Edhel]

Hello!

I have encountered a problem after the new update with my game. I opened my launcher after the new update and let all the new files be downloaded so I could play. It updated everything, closed-opened and now looks a little different before (fonts, text is a little bit smaller). I logged in and saw that it didn't say what servers I last had played on nor did it bring up my last-played servers. I chose my usual server, Gilrain, and hit play. Nothing happened, the "play" button went grey but the game didn't launch. I waited a good 10 minutes and then closed and reopened the launcher. Same thing happens with every server and when I click on the server again the "play" button goes blue and then when I hit it, grey again but nothing happens.

I have restarted my computer very many times (there also was a thunder storm so I had to) but nothing seems to help. Should I try re-installing?

Thanks in advance.

Same issue here, but only on one of my 2 machines. Switching language as advised doesn't help either...

Try going to settings in the launcher menu (the launcher menu next to the language settings) then go to proxy and change the settings to no proxy, the top option radio button (This worked for me) then an agreement box should pop up when you try to log in again
Hope this Helps

Thank you, btowtow! I changed it to "no proxy" and the game launched with no problems

Downloaded the game fine. Updates fine. Login fine. Worlds come up, try to enter and that "Error 201 Can't open data file. Check that they exist and that you have permissions to write them." shows up. Any ideas????

Right after replacing and re installing nividia drivers and replacing the game no joy.

My issue seems to be option number two.

My issue was #2 also. Resetting graphics to defaults, then logging in successfully, and then choosing which graphics options I wanted worked for me.
