This is new. I updated the game this morning and when I get home to play I get this error. Firewall is completely disabled and AV off. I also deleted "launchpad.cache", just in case. Any other ideas? I played last night. :/
Still not working for me. I tried fixing the launcher and cleared the launcher cache, but no luck. I play on EU servers, steam version, if that helps any.
Solved itself, I didn't even get a response from support. Ah well. Thanks! Good luck to everyone else!
Why is this happening to me? On a more serious note, I hope this resolves itself quickly, because I have no idea wtf is wrong...
Don't expect anything from the Official Forums tbh. The temporary solution was posted almost 6 hours ago on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/...g_other_than_ingame_server_for_people/cixwrh3
SOE's domain name expired today and has affected people's ability to access the forums and games. they are working on getting the domain name back up but it takes time for the registration to take affect across the net. People getting black screens on the launchpad is because the client can't communicate properly with the server because their access route has a DNS server with the vacant domain page data. The only reason i can access these forums is because i modified my hosts file with the IP addresses of planetside2.com and everquest2.com etc thanks to feldon from eq2wire.com(even using the ip addresses can't access or patch the games)
Thank you, this worked out for me today, actually my hole host file was missing, strange.. Anyway, with a new host file and updating game files did not solve the issue, but adding this at reddit did the trick. If someone is still trying to solve this to this date it might work for you also
