Mine starts to download, at 400 b/s and then drops to connecting after about a minute, and then just sits there...regardless of whether i turn on or not p2p...sigh, for all its faults I havent encountered anything like this on steam, except maybe once in the 200 game catalogue i have....
Hi, I installed the new version of BG:EE Launcher, and since after I can't go past the Please wait... screen. The game crushes, with the ERROR MESSAGE: Launcher has encountered problems and it has to stop. How can I remove the new launcher quickly? How can I return to not patched state with 2nd computer already patched? Pls. help, I dedicated this day to play with my wife.
Expected behavior: the Game should work with the new Launcher now updated.
Failure: The not working machine has WinXP, 3rd Service Pack. I couldn't download the patch. Only the new Launchers. (It asked me two times.) The 2nd computer is Win7, I could download the patch there, and there was no problem.
@Gloomfrost Same here (Win7 64bit), I just wish to know if this will be fixed, strange thing on my other PC (WinXP 32bit) this game works, except the movies don't play correctly, but I guess it's because it is an old PC, with s**t hardware.
well i got it the installer working at least....how? i upgraded to windows 8 32bit OS on my laptop from windows xp 32bit. As i installed the installer it asked if i wanted to downloaded some required files, i said yes took a while then finally after another 2 updates through windows update i ran the BGEE.EXE and it worked and is downloading the game as i type this. Hell i really only want to use my laptop to roll my power-gaming character, that i had to upgrade my OS is crazy, but at least I am one step closer now.
wow now the game crashes after character creation i can roll my character but crashes right after creation....only 30 other pinned topics on these forums to browse through before i figure out the problem, is it an intel graphics card problem, could it be a sound card problem in my laptop? who knows perhaps ill be rewarded with a +3 amulet of perseverance for troubleshooting for 3 days, reading these forums then upgrading to windows 8....20 dollars well spent for this game, the frustration of getting this game to run is unparallelled ...the excitement of troubleshooting hardware and software problems is almost as fun as the game itself...if i ever get to effing play it
OK. The Mac-version doesn't seem to come out soon (still november according to the website) so I bought it for PC. It downloaded by the BeamDog client very fast and well but when I try to start it the screen turns black and I hear half of second music and then it all stops. When i click it goes back to windows and I get en Error message that says it failed to start the program. Nothing more.
I downloaded the game through the standalone installer, but when I use it to launch my game it always froze/error-ed out, requiring me to go in and run the game through its compatibility mode. However when I heard of the recent patch I opened the launcher again. All I saw was an option to "update" or "play" so when I click on one, windows tells me that the launcher is "not responding" after spinning its little blue circle for a while. My beamdog.trace file has a few lines of "Unrecognisable clientid style: M7-7-2--So?:?-????<?". Is there a place that these patches will be so that I can manually download them? I've read previous entries about people going to download the latest version of the installer, how is this done? When I go to Beamdog.com and select to download either installer it starts downloading the 1.8gb game again, and I don't need the whole game, just the update.
I successfully pre-downloaded BGEE, then tried to patch yesterday and the stand alone installer kept freezing. So I uninstalled BGEE, downloaded the Beamdog client and tried downloading anew. The download keeps getting to 26.9% and then the entire client freezes. I have to close it through task manager. I've tried downloading the standalone as well as reinstalling the Beamdog client with the same results.
My trace file has about 30 lines of 'BeamDog.Launcher.exe Information: 0 : 12/2/2012 12:50:38 PM Prerequisite has not been downloaded' followed by a warning 'no new tracker' then it disconnects and shuts down.
I'm not behind any goofy firewalls, I'm in the US and not on a college or military base that would block me. I also successfully downloaded the entire game during the pre-order.
I know some people are having installer crash issues on linux and someone recommended "bypassing the installer" but does anyone know how this could be done on a mac? I am trying to run the BG installer through CrossOver games and it keeps crashing on me (I also have dotNet2.0 installed). Any ideas?
The only update I can give is that nothing has changed for me, the same stupid error message every day. I mean you can download this enhanced edition via illegal ways right now. Why is it so that today people who didn't pay money for games can play them since day 1 and people who paid for the game have to wait days, weeks, or months because a simple downloading client won't communicate with us. Seriously you guys make honest people very angry...
I'm running Xp with a GEforce graphics card. I've tried both the beamdog launcher AND the standalone launcher and they both instantly crash the second I double click any of them; saying both stating"has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" The error reports for both are as follows:
I know the patch is coming out but I'm not seeing that it addresses ANY issues for those who can't even install the game. Since I've already sent in a support ticket and it seems they can't explain my issue, do any of you have any ideas? I have already:
Tried running in every compatibility mode Tried running as administrator Reinstalled all of the .NET framwork as well as openGL Made sure all Geforce Drivers are up to date
Strange stuff here, when I use Beamdog downloader, the download starts, up to 666k/s, then stops directly. I'm blocked @ 97,8%, so frustrating ... I rebooted both my comp and the internet bex, but nothing changes ... any idea ? known bug ?
Same frustrating error here... System : Windows XP SP3 ... Stand alone and Beamdog client are both not working due a connection error ... support is not responding and I got no permissions to write them!?
Like darkjade, my Beamdog downloader is also stopping. I've downloaded 99.9% of the 2nd BG:EE update but it can't seem to finish. It just hangs at "connecting . . ."
I'm having similar connection problems. Pre-loading the game and downloading the first update went relatively smoothly, but with Update #2 I disconnect after downloading a few seconds. I click the bar to pause, and when i resume it briefly connects and gives me a download speed and then goes back to "Connecting...".
Should I attempt to download the update in little 20 second chunks, constantly refreshing?
I will if anyone thinks that might work eventually haha
Edit: Just want to reiterate that I'm not getting any errors and the launcher isn't crashing. I'm just not staying connected for longer than 15 seconds.
I still have the bug "verification failed due to a server error". Would it be possible to download the game files from a friend? Or do I get the same problem cause the game needs online check to play? Beside this, I think i located the reason of this error message in my case. I am behind a router and my attempts to port forwarding weren't successfull. My router said they were successfull forwarded, but online check websites for ports didn't. The support Forums of my ISP (where the router comes from) are full of people with the same problem in forwarding ports. My ISP is "Deutsche Telekom" with the router "Speedport 723v Typ B". Does anybody of the germans here have the same router WITHOUT the connection problem to the beamdog servers? The sad thing about this is that i never had an issue with this router. Every game worked, torrent worked and so many other things. But not the greatest game of all time BG:EE :-/
1.Game is installed but it is not updated 2.Downloader wants to update game 3.Update fails because to download and apply 250 MB update you need tot have 1.9 GB of free space on the hard drive.
