Just to let pass the info on.
flushdns did not work, but DNS change worked for me. although Virgin Media DNS is or wasn't working as of 5mins ago.

Personally I prefer this guide to changing DNS for windows 7 users.

i tried changing dns again and it worked this time i used the 8844 one, but the weird part is it didnt patch but i am in

What the...!!!?? Have Verizon FIOS.

Have been playing this game daily since 1st day of beta. Was looking forward to a nice relaxing session tonight.

Reboot of router/PC didn't work. Neither did flush.

Ask me about vertebral-basilar artery insufficency & I'm comfortable with that.

I'm not comfortable with the Google DNS switch. Opened a ticket.

I hope to be playing sooner than later....

Same for me. Just figured screw it and went to google dns for the night... was expecting to have to patch but didn't have to apparently? ...

WarGanisM.....You are a *Star*.

That explained what to do so easily that even I managed it.

Krist sometimes what is typed fails to come across as was intended (heck look at some peoples average text messages).

It has been a long and frustrating night.


However I am now patched at least.

I have Verizon FiOS (central Florida). Did /fushdns and power down and reboot modem...still having issue. Would prefer not to change my DNS either.

OK, this was easy to follow and worked for me as well. Thanks!

Late to the party here after reading the thread, but adding in the info requested, even if you've already cornered the issue to Verizon and Virgin.

And yes, Denton, TX Verizon FiOS customer.

[Jaseager]

Still having the issue where it says the game servers are under maintenance. I have tried restarting comp/router typing in the cmd ipconfig /release . Nothing has worked, I am going to try this google public DNS ... and hope for the best... already submitted a ticket earlier this morning but no reply except the generic auto response.

[Revengex]

This is so bad. I can't patch. did every trick you have provided and no luck.

[Hulk Krogan]

Hey everyone, changing my DNS to Google Public DNS worked like a charm. It's actually quite an easy fix; took me a whopping 2-3 minutes. My computer didn't even have any DNS IP's pre-selected anyway, so no loss.

Trust the devs a little more. There's a chance they know a bit more about the coding of this game than you do

[MechWarrior319348]

The Workaround is a proper fix, However, the question and concern of everyone is, "I dont want to keep my computer settings like this, how long will I have to stick to this fix"?

[Revengex]

Hey everyone. The fix is to change your DNS settings here.

I am currently having this issue with Verizon Fios in Massachusetts. I'm waiting for an opportunity to cycle my router without interrupting siblings who still have to work. The router cycle should work after my brother guided me to the nslookup for the mwo patcher.

let me know if this work

Remember if a Google DNS change results in a 'fix' to your problem then your ISP is to blame not us.

ISP's want to squeeze as much money out of plebeians; one way they do this is by ignoring DNS caching rules and holding onto data to serve to your computer as long as possible to save pennies here and there. They break your experience, not us.

So when we ask you to switch your DNS to fix a problem it doesn't reside on either of our ends; look to your ISP as the culprit.

Hey Kyle, you sure you want to leave this statement here in public? you sure mate?.
I just spoke to my ISP, a very large national organisation, they very strongly disagree with your statement and are officially looking into your response...

[JaegerDjinn]

mine as well. deleteing and trying too reinstall doesnt help and as for the solution i no idea how too do it even with the instruction in front of me so i hope you fix it soon and i put in a report as well. no its not a uk problem either i lkive in the US eastren time zone.

[IIIuminaughty]

I just don't see the reason (unless all else fails) to mess with the google dns. If its not truly my fault (and i know its not PGI fault) but it does has something to do with verizon fios and pgi. So ill just wait until you guys get it settled. But if not then I'll mess with the google dns, but i don't want to mess anything else up for any other games i play or my internet period, because I have NO IDEA what im doing in google DNS lmao
