Hi! this is just to confirm if its just me or there is something with the patching client

 

my merchant has already logged in was vending (was working before), but i needed to open the patch client to play my main

 

every-time I go in to patch client, it always says "FAILED TO CONNECT TO PATCH SERVER"

 

steps that i did:

 

turned off firewall

 

then ultimately shut down the vend, shut down computer & RO

rebooted & logged in as a different (admin) account tried as well

 

as much as the client keeps on failing, my internet is pretty good. I can FB and YT but the patch server keeps failing...

do a tracert to playragnarok.com . do you get any disconnects?

[mikeberserkr]

how do you type the comannd in cmd?

 

ive been typing "tracert playragnarok.com"

 

i think ive might have gotten it wrong

 

(i have another game, Granado espada, and THEIR patch client is working fine though)

it should be right. tracert playragnarok.com

 

or tracert iro.ragnarokonline.com

as you can see i tried tracert on google, and it is working

but if its iro.ragnarokonline.com or playragnarok.com it somehow isnt

 

but i was vending and just finished Turn-Ins like 8 hours ago (then i slept)

 

came back to play again, but now couldn't...

 

Edit:

 

tracert google.com > working

tracert playragnarok.com > not working

tracert iro.ragnarokonline.com > not working

tracert warpportal.com > working

That is strange...try these commands in command prompt

 

netsh interface ip delete arpcache (clears Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache)

ipconfig /flushdns (flushes DNS cache)
 

Then do tracert playragnarok.com again

 

EDIT: Also see if you can access this site

ftp://patch1.playragnarok.com/

The cause of your problem is Gravity's DNS servers failing to respond to your queries due to the servers being faulty.

 

Try repeatedly entering "nslookup patch1.playragnarok.com" in Command Prompt until the query succeeds. You'll then be able to update your client.

 

By the way, in Command Prompt, you can repeat the previously entered command by pressing up and then enter.

[mikeberserkr]

netsh interface ip delete arpcache - done

ipconfig /flushdns - done

tracert google.com - working

tracert playragnarok.com - not working

tracert iro.ragnarokonline.com - NOW ITS WORKING

tracert warpportal.com - working

nslookup patch1.playragnarok.com

How many times did you try entering the nslookup command? I'd try it at least 25 times. If that is a dead end, then try restarting your router. As a last resort, you could add the address of the server to your hosts file.

[mikeberserkr]

Ok will try 25 more times and will reply with an update

 

Update 

 

nslookup patch1.playragnarok.com - Done at least 30+ times not working

 

nslookup warpportal.com - working (as well as google)

 

- restarting router

- if restarting router don't resolve this i'll try your last resort

[mikeberserkr]

restarted the router - complete

 

re-typed the commands

 

netsh interface ip delete arpcache - done

ipconfig /flushdns - done

 

still failed to connect to patch server - 

will try the host file thing... will give u an update

[mikeberserkr]

Tried the adding lines to the host file

As a last resort, you could add the address of the server to your hosts file.

it worked!

 

i think that was the ultimate solution! XD

 

Thanks Axylus! ill have to comment you on your profile!!
