My suggestion on this one is reinstall Obsidian if you still have the install file cauz dling it can be a **** in terms of time |

hmmm if the patcher itself is the problem and you havent played since the last patch it will insist on getting you to the latest patch and if you have any changed files such as music files it could cause it to fail. during the christmas patch it took me an hour to figure out i had changed a combat midi file to play a metallica midi instead. since the music was being updated i guess it didnt like finding my homeade midi in there . luckily when i do things like that i make a folder to hold all the original files in case i need em. maybe this isnt the prob at all just a longshot trying to help. and yes reinstaling would be my first thought and honestly its not that hard to do but keep in mind if you have aos,uose or any other seperate uo installed elsewhere then when you reinstall obsi it will screw both of them. you have to install obsi with no other uo client on . then reinstall the other client if you want it back. there are probably other ways too but this works. thx to outz the obsi dl is sweet and fast. a good place to get help is obsis chat server btw. |

Dude, the most simple thing to try would be: 1) uninstall Obsidian 2) ensure the Obsidian folder is completely deleted 3) install Obsidian afresh (using the latest client download), and run the patcher If the patcher still refuses to connect, check your firewall perhaps. If you have a software firewall, try disabling it to see if this is an issue preventing the patcher connecting... |

it might also be that some ports that obsi patcher needs are blocked. that's most likely to happen if you're on a local area network. some network admins block most ports in order for the network to be secure. |

Spawn is a l33t hacker who thinks he's hacked around the patcher. |

i can't know what you know so i thought that my input could solve your problem. i didn't mean to say that you don't know anything about networking and so on. i'm a network admin myself so i think i'd understand if you'd tell me - but it so happens that i probably already know it. anyways, good luck in fixing your problem. |
