    [​IMG] [​IMG] hello

    See. The client has gone to the extend of downloading over the max limit. What is this. 911 mb is what it should be and now it had done to the extend of crossing it to and still continuing. What should i do now? .

    Hello drago994, :oops:

    That seems to be a glitch, most likely caused by outdated data stored on your computer. Please try deleting / emptying the DSOClient folder, as this will remove all the temporarily stored internet files, then try running the game again and hopefully the update will proceed without problems.
    Best regards,

    hello teddy.
    sorry to say as i am in tegan . i deleted all the stuff from it even before i start downloading as i know we are in error 23 life and so i need a full error free downloads . so i did cleared it all before starting , so now i see it , i dont think that would be the reason. i stopped it , restart my computer and still it s what i show. so would u again recommending deleting it again and downloading again. it cost me 4.5 hours to download that stuff.. i need to do that again if i need to do. if u heard of any bugs in 161 and if u r putting a new patch.. i will wait . becoz it would cost me another download time too .. if nothing then i would do it again as no other option left. waitng for u r reply.

    Thank you for the suggestion, trakilaki :) !

    Hello draco994 :(

    In this case it's best to wait - as soon as the Game Team confirms this has been resolved, I will be updating you. At the moment, they have confirmed there are other issues with the CDN (Content Delivery Network), causing problems when updating the client.

    Update: Please be so kind and keep an eye on this announcement for news and updates about a fix.
    Best regards,

    ok there is a new update on this Trik,,, well, i tried ur link, downloaded and installed that old one. when opened the client page appeared and one pop with 'new client installer download" etc with yes . no tab. i press no so no update of that new error update and skipped to login. when i select server tegan. another pop up says " failed to load client" and the press ok tab. when i press that ok , the whole client goes off. so i think that is not going to work on me now. i already did all this after deleting all the stored files in %temp%/dso folder. so with no other option, i am again reinstalling the new client with utter dismay of what it may come or known well the outcome. thank you very much for u help though it didnt work on me.

    draco994 You will have to start the game in the browser ... it will help you download the key files.
    Search for "dlcache" folder inside DSOClient folder in Temp. Run the game in the browser until this "dlcache" folder is ~62MB big.
    Then you can start running the game with the client.

    EDIT

    Because of this https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/error-25-crashes-after-release-161.70701/#post-643623 you are having troubles playing in the client ... I guess you will have to play in the browser until they fix their storage.

    Ok, so I admit to not being the most computer literate person in the world, though doing something as simple as searching for files is not beyond me, however, I am having trouble finding the file you indicated for me to delete. I did a search for Temp and got quite a few returns of course, but not one of them had a thing to do with Drakensang. When I go to the Drakensang Online folder, there is no Temp"or DROClient folder in there. What am I doing wrong? You have been very kind to help this far, would you continue to be so kind as to give me more or less, step by step instructions on what to do please? Thanks.

    OK ... the address is C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Temp\DSOClient ... (User_Name is your username/PC Name ... replace it with your name and paste it in the Windows Explorer address bar).
    However ... if you have a fast net and large or unlimited traffic I suggest you to delete the whole DSOClient folder ... if not you can open that folder and search for "dlcache" folder and delete only that folder.
    BUT ... like I already said in my previous post ... you should all play via Browser (Firefox) until they (BP) fix their storage.
    Don't forget you will have to install Java plugin for browser and Adobe Flash Player if you haven't so far.

    Do I have to use Firefox? I use Chrome.

    Chrome gave up Java, and the game requires it. Firefox is DSO's first choice, but several other browser platforms will work. It was posted in the forum somewhere.

    Chrome does not support Java any more, and the game requires Java.
    Several other browser platforms will work. Firefox is DSO's primary recommendation, and it works well enough for me, when the thin client is locked up.
    You can still access the DSO website, Forums, etc, in Chrome just fine, but not the game.
