Failing to connect to patch server

[Kandy_Cain325]

I'm not sure if my failure to connect to the patch server is a unique problem on my end or if the patch server is currently down. I know the northeast just got bombarded by yet another storm, so I'm thinking that it is the latter, but I haven't seen any information that points in this direction. If the patch server is indeed up and functioning as normal, where do I go from here on diagnosing what I must do to correct this?

As far as what I'm seeing in the launcher: status bar says "connecting to patch server", with a 33% progress bar loaded. Then it says "an update error occurred", "server connection timed out", and it retries to connect after counting down from 60secs.

Ironically I can logon to Arkenstone.

Edit:
DDO launcher stuck at installing prereqs, another Turbine sh!t datacenter outage?

I have done the bug report thing..checked alllll the Turbine support pages..and forums...

I also have the game on a laptop with windows vista...and the laptop that has the problem is a windows 8.

Both system have exactly the same programs loaded...same antivirus stuff..niether have a firewall issue..and on and on...the only difference in the two system is that one is on vista..and one is on windows 8...

So i can tell ya..it's not a proxy thing..not a port thing..not a networking thing...nothing execpt a LOTRO Client issue.

I have to disagree with your conclusion. In your case, this is not a LOTRO client issue. You have:

• A system with Windows Vista, which is supported by LOTRO, that connects without any issue.
• A system with Windows 8, which is not supported by LOTRO, that has issues connecting.

Sorry, but based on the information you have provided you have a Windows 8 problem, and not a LOTRO client issue. If this were a LOTRO client issue you would have the same problem with your Windows Vista system as well.

Got the same problem, no idea what to do. Guess I won't be able to play this game at all.
