Wow, everyone's having this problem? Me included, Win7 64bit, no Steam. Exact same error Oh, wait. It's working for me now. No idea what I did, though
This is a connection error, I'm guessing that as some people are getting the update it's a case of the server being overload with connection requests. I can only see the one ip in the error list too so it's all on one machine apparently. If the guys at SOE are reading - use VMs and more than one site for the servers you nuubins Unable to download SocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Connection Timed-out - Destination host failed to respond (10060 - 64.37.169.11 - http://manifest.patch.station.sony....lanetside2-live/live/planetside2-live.sha.soe
Thanks for pointing this out New Path, I followed those instructions and now the game is working for me SOE grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
So what was this update all about? Edit: Nevermind that, this launcher update notice should have been posted on "Official News and Announcements" instead.
Experienced the same problem half an hour ago, with the launcher unable to connect to update servers, but now it seems to update fine again. Probably just a serverside snafu.
