    Agathon Server is getting worse with the log in bugs
    What has happened the big $$$ spenders in this server have had enough of the bugs and know longer spend so we do not get any technical support from the people in charge anymore ?

    I don't know why I haven't quit yet, but depending on if group bug, lag, and the newly "critical file" error persist I may do so very soon. It's a pure waste of my time if there's nothing but frustration. I feel like I'm being super rude when I say these things, but it's true. Don't mean any harm to BP, but it needs to be straightened out before a mass exodus of your loyal heavy payers happens.

    I know what you mean. I don't like coming across as whining. I'm not, really. The game is in a bad state. (At least on Agathon server, maybe other servers.) I wouldn't drive a broken-down car that limped along and couldn't be driven on the highway. I wouldn't drive a car that I had to get out and pour a quart of oil into it every 20 miles. I'm not playing this broken-down game anymore.

    Encountered this error twice today on both my laptops, and both use client, after the update. Have not seen it before.

    Tegan server here.

    I have the same problem since yesterdays update. I went so far as to reformat my computer and reload windows to attempt to solve this issue and did nothing but lose files and time, not to mention the time in the event and money for P2P. I have sent in two responses to tech support with screen shots of the error message and was told useless information the first time and am waiting for a response to the second.

    This game could be so good, but the problems with it are not getting addressed in a timely manner and new ones pop up constantly. :/

    I've been a daily player for over 2-1/2 years, but I am very close to canceling my premium and playing when I'm bored and have nothing to do. The hours I've spent recently trying to fix the problem haven't help and apparently won't based on this thread.

    Cleared DNS cache, unable to log-in, client or browser. Not happy.

    Hey, Satanicseth here, Agathon server, and like everyone else, the little pop up of failed to download file. Did all the basic things to fix, nothing. I'm not surprised, of course SOMETHING had to go wrong with the new update, just I feel bad for the others who love this game to it's core, in which they can't play for the time being. It's a pity and a shame you call yourselves Developers.

    Teagan is "working" but Agathon is a no, again! *sighs*

    Time to find a new game methinks, though I'll miss kiting the bugs, lag, rubberbanding, errors and DCs! They should just add a 'lucky bug bag' to dailies but I guess that would spoil the surprise! Personal favorite is the new lagged to sudden death! That one's a charmer!

    If I refresh the page on browser, I slowly get farther along in the loading process. After 112 refreshes(yes I counted), I still wasn't able. I stopped for the sake of my sanity, so props to BP.

    So many memes to chose from, but settled on this one after reading Duria's 29th post.

    Except, we as the community can accurately predict this 99% of the time but it seems the developers can't.

    Tegan server not working for me. After finally getting in yesterday, I'm now out for both client and browser again.:mad:

    Kudos on doing the maintenance to avoid the problem getting worse.

    Same here bro, its either Failed to Download Drakensang, or the critical file stuff. Client and Browser.
    I can't even log into the character selection screen.

    I removed the DSO client from my system and haven't come across this "critical file" pop up when switching to another location or PvPing. This means using a web browser with Java plugin. I'm not sure about Mac users, as I haven't played DSO on my Mac for a long time. You're probably screwed. Anyway, can any of you confirm this? Maybe it's just a coincidence and there was a sneaky hotfix that I missed.

    Edit: Today I installed DSO client back and it seems to work fine on both client and browser. Coincidence most likely, but yesterday it felt like uninstalling the client was the cure. Why? Because I didn't get this "critical file" immediately the uninstallation.

    Think of it this way, when you enter an area for the first time, the game downloads and caches the files it needs in the DSOTemp folder. Once the file is downloaded, it simply uses the cached file. The problem is that if you do the normal troubleshooting step of clearing the temp folder, you will reintroduce the problem. Since I realized this, I have stopped clearing that folder and stopped having the problems for a given area I've gotten lucky enough to get into after several tries.
