Heyo folks,

as stated in the topic, the game cant be startet after a restart of it.
I double click the shortcut on my desctop and nothing happens. in the task manager the patcher application is running but nothing else. after a reinstall and redownload it worked once. after a restart of the game it does not work anymore.

Driver are up to date.

any suggestions?

thank you from Kurita Land!

same problem here ...

[Nash]

same here.

when I try to start the match anew I get the message:

you already have an instance of the patcher running and indeed the patcher does run but it does nothing.

when I wait 5 minutes I get a windows error message that the program is not running and that I can go on or cancel the prog.

When i played this morning everything was fine but now nothing happens...

Same problem here, started today. Restarting PC (Win7 64bit) did not solve the issue. Error message (after some minutes) contains CLR20r3 / System.Net.WebException.

Same problem here. And some clan-mates are having the same problem for an hour or two.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the game, but the update-client won't pop up, just like when the game didn't start before.
I left the task open for half an hour until it self-terminated, this is the error description (german client):

How will VPNing to someone else's proxy solve the problem?

/EDIT Having seen this link, I disabled my OpenDNS filtering anyway and the game now starts. This means that the OpenDNS seem to be playing silly buggers with MWO, as it has been working fine all week until today!

[HTTP Error 400]

Having has the game startt working, it has just gone to a blank screen and stopped responding as the last game started, so I killed it. Now, if I try to play I get the Error Message "MechWarriorOnline has stopped working.,. Windows is checking for a solution".

/sigh

The problem may be solved...

just create a link to the file


"C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Bin32\MWOClient.exe"

on your desktop and to work with you only have to put

'-nopatch'

behind it. It should look like:


"C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Bin32\MWOClient.exe" -nopatch

It did help me. Maybe it works for you too

[Borgadun]

I just use hotspot shield for those cases if a program can't connect to a server who times out.

And it might be a problem with dynamic DNS not with open DNS, means I don't use openDNS.

And VPNing to someone else proxy seems to solve the problem.

I have the same problem already second time today and have to re-install MWO. Problem is: I have a 5MB/s internet connection but the 1.2GB MW is dl with around 150 kb/s. Is there any permanent solution?

[Xalorous]

Consensus seems to be that slow connection or blocked connection to the patcher is the issue.

There is a workaround above regarding running the game with a -nopatch option, BUT that will not help you if you need to patch. Trying a restart of modem and router to determine if that helps me.

Edit: I can confirm that restarting my router and modem did indeed allow me past the 'invisible patcher'.

So, I'd recommend anyone facing this first restart computer, then router, then modem, or all three.

[sp1ce weezl]

I'v had/have the same problem ever since the latest "big" patch.
Restart of the computer as well as the router didn't fix it for me.
Support told me that it might be due to anti-virus, so I straped my pc naked of all security programs and didn't find it working as well. After that the answer was to make sure no TCP or UDP Ports are block by firewall and/or router, but that doesn't fixed it as well.
I think somethings seriously broken, so keep spaming the support instead of reinstalling the whole 1600 MB game client.
Reinstalling however fixes the problem, but it happened out of the blue to me before and my guess is that it will happen again.

[sp1ce weezl]

Here we go again .... after one day, crash to desktop and the gameclient won't start again....
guess i have to write a new ticket...

false alarm
