I get one of the errors listed in the subject line every time I try to log on. Most of the time it's the patch error, second place is authentication error, and i only got it to let me log in once for the margin server error. I played this morning just fine, now it's gone crazy.

And yet another wrinkle, I finally was able to log in, then I got the failed to connect to margin server error.

Ok, now i'm getting alternating errors. Sometimes I get the authentication server failure problem, then I close the program and open it again and then I get patch system error (result code 47) url open failed, patch servers down or internet connection problem.

Got an error saying authentication server is down, can't get the game to start. Anybody having the same problem?

Yeah, I had the same problem. When I finally got my goggles to work, the 255 agent came to get me.

Thanks. When are you normally on?

Male overdrive dana.

Yay! It's updating now.

I just downloaded the launcher and it wouldn't let me use it. Says I don't have sufficient user priviledges.
Yeah. I'm getting the same thing. Which doesn't make sense seeing as how I'm using the only admin account on my laptop.
i figured out you have to change the compatibility mode to xp service pack 2 and run as administrator. launcher is now updating. I'll see if it works soon.
Hey let us know if that helps.

I got station launcher to load up, but now its at a screen where it says "Scanning, loading remote manifest". Can't tell that's it's really doing anything.

Ya know, I just signed on yesterday after having quit for nine months. Maybe this is one of those things that made me quit to begin with.

I've got the same error, too.

Working on getting the server restarted now... should be back to normal shortly.

Well, it was back up so I jacked in, then a couple of minutes later I got the margin server failover, shutting down error. I hope I don't have a character in use problem when everything gets sorted out...

Is it just vector? I haven't tried the other servers yet.

Yeah, i think it's just vector. I just logged on to my lvl 16 syntax character with no problem.

Ah thats an exception then but there are to many mkts/snipers in zions compared to MA's just cause they are 'easier' trees. One thing that does annoy me is when u have 3 players about you and your tryin as hard as you can to get 1 in interlock and they just hyperjump away as soon as their evade is broke Does get a bit tiresome, specially when u can't chase cause of the lag. Lowbies can outrun me thats how bad my lag is
But Legend, all you gotta do is ask for a 1 on 1. I'll duel anyone and have no hard feelings over it. I can't help it if a merv sees a couple of zions attackin me so he joins in. It is difficult to duel at mara, we all know this but hit me up next time I'm ingame and we'll duel

Alot of people hj away when their shield is broke, not just mkt/snipers. It's everybody with ranged attacks, including healers and hackers. If I had it my way, there would be no healers or hackers at all, and nobody would be able to sneak. In fact, I think only MA and guns should be all the fighting trees available to play with, since that is what the movies offered. I never heard Neo say "hey guys, let's sneak and then punt these suckers".

Next time I see you online I'll hit you up for a duel. You'll probably still beat me, but I'm pretty sure I won't get owned so bad anymore SMILEY

After playin last night and today I have saw that 'most' zion are either mkt or sniper. Yes I know sniper can be good ain't tried mkt yet but yeah I'm sure thats good aswell. Its just kinda *CENSORED* jumpin to mara and seein no-one and then u get sneak zerged.
I play this game for fun and I'm sure the rest of the population does aswell but seeing a whole team of mkts (like this afternoon) against 3 of us just ain't fun...
All i'm wantin to say is "Come on Zion, play some REAL trees!!!"
Fair enough using these trees against zergs but when there is only 1 guy out a team can be seen, its just takin the pi$$

I was one of the mkt's on that team, and I have to say I was surprised that all the zion's that were there had either mkt or sniper loaded. It's the first time I've seen that happen. I had mine loaded because I had finally coded the last ab I needed to complete the tree, and just wanted to try it out. Got my first kill as an mkt that day. It was total chance that all of us were sneakers and such, we didn't plan it. I think three of us were there at the start of it, then a few others came online and came straight to mara. The stars aligned I guess. I'm MA any other day though, and I share your frustration with mkt's and snipers, but it is part of the game. Now that I finally know how to fight an aikido grandmaster, I'd like to one day have a 1v1 with you without getting sniped or stabbed in the back toward the end of the fight.

:O Theres a sniper load? =P

LOL! Whenever I hear the word "sniper", my mind automatically thinks "japes" instead...

Is it just me or is this a stupid way to "announce" live events? Or am I missing something about these liasons? Do I really have to happen to be online when they come online just so I can be one of the lucky ones to participate in an event? Wouldn't it make sense to announce an upcoming event on the Live Events board a few days before it happens so people can plan to be there? I was online quite a bit on the 6th, but still managed to miss out on helping Ghost. If I had known the event was going to happen, I would have made plans to be online at that time. I did manage to take part in the event the other day when we fought the blackwoods in debir court. The only reason I knew it was going to happen is because my faction leader got an email from a liason and he forwarded it to me. So please tell me if I'm missing something really simple, because there's gotta be a better way to be informed about these live events.

We are in Zionblade EPN faction and I'm looking for dedicated soldiers. I want to emphasize quality over quantity in my crew. If you are going to play for a month and then quit, don't waste my time. If you want to stay and kick some azz, look me up in game.

Here till the end...

Regardless of what is supposed to happen, I think it was cool. I wish the game didn't block other orgs from coming into the mission area at all. I think it would make even the standard missions seem more relevant or more urgent. Maybe I should start a thread on the dev forum or something.

Yeah, I'm on Vector and i'm 32. I've just never heard of a non team member being able to come to the same floor of the building where the mission takes place. I've even seen actual team members get stuck on an elevator because they got to a mission area too late.

I'll say you were on Vector and above level 15.

Only the mission area in which the actual mission takes place is open just for you. Everywhere else in the building is open for everyone else. Zipph may have been on her way to her own mission and unconsciously picked you off on the way.

We hadn't left the mission area yet. I was on my way to the elevator, and hadn't even gotten in it yet. I was under the impression that players who weren't on the mission team couldn't even go to the same floor where the mission is. There she was, waiting for us to come to the elevator.

So I was on a mission in Moriah E with a couple of faction members and the second phase of the mish took us to a building that was right next to the HL in Moriah E. We were on the 3rd floor I think. We finished our objectives, and I ran to the elevator to go to street level. Imagine my surprise when Zippher, a red, was waiting for me in the elevator! She killed me in one move of course and I was left with my mouth hanging all the way to the floor. That's not supposed to happen, right? The floor of the building where your mission takes place only allows mission team members in it, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I thought it was awesome! I think it only makes sense that opposing orgs should be able to hunt us down during a mission. After all, we kill npc's from other orgs on missions. But has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

I did, but nothing came of it. The last I heard from support was early Monday morning, when they said the problem was being escalated to Tier 2 support. Tuesday afternoon on of the mods here tried to help, but couldn't get it to work either. Yesterday it all the sudden allowed me to log in again, as well as several in the crew I'm in. It was apparently a widespread problem. On of the other guys in my faction also said a bunch of people on his buddy list showed up as being online, but he couldn't talk to them because apparently they weren't really there.

Did you try game support for help?

This may not be the same thing, but here goes. I played mxo when it first came out and had to quit because of a computer problem after about three months into it. This past xmas I got a computer that would run it, so I dusted off my original install disks and installed the game. Had to sign up for an soe account because that wasn't around before I quit. So then it asks me for either the cd key or other serial number so I can actually play the game. I look on my cd case and type in the cd key. It rejects it. I try it again, slowly, and it rejects it again. So the cd key with the game I bought in 2005 was no longer being accepted. I probably could have spent a few days with tech support and they would have given me a valid key, but I was so hyped up on the possibility of playing mxo again, I went and bought the 19.99 version and just used the serial that was sent to me through email so I could play. Anyway, when I got around to creating my character, I thought I would try to use the same handle as before, "Taekman", which was very unique. It said it was already taken. I'm pretty sure they don't save your character information, but maybe they keep the name in the system?

I was finally able to log in yesterday and play. Came to find out that at least three of my crew members hadn't been able to log on until yesterday either.

Same thing here. But tech support told me Monday morning that the issue has been escalated to the Teir 2 support team. Since then, I haven't heard anything out of them. I created a character on syntax to pass the time.

No kidding. I was 28 when the issue started. I could be in the mid to upper 30's by now....

Yeah, I read the sticky...LAST WEEK. I pm'd Tchrist over the weekend and he and I exchanged pm's back and forth yesterday about the issue. He did all he could do and can't get it to work, so he told me to submit a petition for in game help. I already did that over the weekend, too. The last I heard from tech support was Monday morning, and they said the issue has been escalated to the Teir 2 support team. I'm wondering if they even exist. In the meantime, I've created a character on Syntax and have leveled him to 16.

I'm there with ya, man. Haven't been able to play since Friday when the server went down. I'm getting, the "character already in use" error.

This happened when Vector went down last week. I was in the middle of a mission, so I wasn't able to exit the program normally. When I heard Vector was back up a few hours later, I tried to play again, but got the error that my character is already in use, as determined by the object manager. I did the tech support thing on soe, but have yet to see any results. The last I heard yesterday morning was that it was being referred to Teir 2, whatever that means. I haven't been able to play since Friday, and would very much like to play again. Can anyone here help?

Well, I'm not having the same problem, but ever since vector went down a few days ago, I haven't been able to get back on. I get the "character already in use" error. So I pm'd a mod with all the details and also started a ticket and am still waiting for a resolution since this all happened over the weekend. In the meantime, I started a character on Syntax just so I could play. Got him to lvl 12 by last night.

same thing here, and I was almost finished with a LONG mission when it all stopped working.

The first time I tried the 0,0,0 trick, I found my npc there. I was in the middle of defeating the npc when a machine player showed up and decided to try to kill me. I was level 27 kung fu master and he was a level 28 gunman. I finished my npc off, then lit into him and beat the crap out of him. After he was out of my way I turned around and another npc had showed up, but obviously not from my mission. I bet the player who tried to kill me was looking for his own npc!

Going to the origin on the map helped, thanks. I used this method on several other missions yesterday and it worked like a champ. There were a couple of contact missions in International that I had given up on until I learned this trick, but I completed them yesterday. Thanks for all the help.

I've done this mission twice now, and I get stuck at the same spot every time. Your final objectives are to kill all the Dire Lupines and collect information on the Merovingian's constructs. The last building you go to has some Lupes in it, and you kill them, then some more come at you out of nowhere. Easy enough to kill. So you gather the information, kill all the Lupes, and then expect it's time to leave, right? No. The objectives menu says you still have to kill all the Lupes. So you go through all the rooms two or three times, and there are no Lupes left. What do you do now? Has anyone else had this problem?
