I'm using pylotro 1.1.15a, game has been playing fine but I have been trying to start the Isengard update patch and pylotro will not connect to the server. The server is active and all the windows clients in the house can connect to it fine. message from patch attempts: Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80 Connection to patch server failed error code: 0x80041003 Failed to connect to the patch server: OEC_E_CONNECTIONFAILED(0x80041003) Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80 Connection to patch server failed error code: 0x80041003 Failed to connect to the patch server: OEC_E_CONNECTIONFAILED(0x80041003) Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80 Connection to patch server failed error code: 0x80041003 Failed to connect to the patch server: OEC_E_CONNECTIONFAILED(0x80041003) *** Finished *** I have checked in the options tab and tried to re-save the patch dll (patchclient.dll) like we had to in older version of pylotro and I still got the same message. I have not been able to find anything on google for this and the appdb page is pretty outdated.
Both the codeweavers forum and the lotro forum have even windows users having problems patching. http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=2869;forum=1;msg=112146 Their patch server is getting slammed. =( At this point it isn't pylotro or wine. Good luck getting connected. =)
I re-downloaded and reinstalled both pylotro 1.1.15a and patchclient2.dll. Pylotro was then able to connect to the patch server and says that it has completed patching: Connecting to patch.lotro.com:80 checking data... data patches: 0 bytes to download: 0 unlock: 0 empty: 0 result code: 0x00000000 Patching data: Data patching complete. All patching complete. *** Finished *** I have gone through that step multiple times to be sure there is not a series of patches that I need to rerun pylotro to get through. However when I log into the game I get a pop up error box saying: 'connection failed. you do not have the current version of the client installed.' I am not sure if this is something in pylotro that does not pass the update information for the new expansion on to the servers properly or if this is a wine issue. I did notice the the people around me on windows computers had a new EULA to agree to and I did not get one so far in my process. Again, I do not know if that is part of the issue. I'm asking here because the appdb instructions for installation uses the pylotro launcher as a work around to the native launcher and it is likely that problems with it will end up as wine discussions anyway.
Glad that worked out...for the most part pylotro works great but I think Turbine has been made some changes to their launcher which makes the patching not work as well. The teleport screens are a good example of this, and who knows what else has changed.
