Issue while updating the game

Trinity_ · Jan 21st 2015

So, I reinstalled the game, the mod and everything went superb. Now I'm here. I click "Multiplayer" and it says Starting update. And it's been going on for 12 minutes already without anything going on (Screenshot by Lightshot)

SilverFox told me to create a shortcut, so I did, and nothing was fixed.

I deselected "read-only" from EVERY single folder manually, and it's not working. (Screenshot by Lightshot)

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I actually have internet, it's just a visual bug. (Screenshot by Lightshot)

Tried starting the Freelancer.exe directly out of the installation folder ?
(solved similar - identical - issue for me....)

Tried you close launcher and start it again?

SilverFox · Jan 21st 2015

Yep. Hasn't done anything.

Sorry. I haven't expressed myself in the right way. I copied it And no, nothing.

actually at this point the update should start. do you have a firewall that could block the requests or laggy connection, or you're blocked from the download server (too many requests in short time)...
Could be that something during the download gets wrong, although you should see another message then

Just that. UAC is down completely. I wouldn't know about the connection, I have no idea. I've tried switching to wireless network(s) and that didn't help either.

I decided to leave it updating in the background while I was doing something else. The result: Screenshot by Lightshot

It looks like launcher is blocked from net connection (isp?) ... Maybe team-viewer with Huor can help find what is behind this?

I may not mess with the router here, since It's not mine to touch. The owner of the apartment is currently out of town so I can't really get in her place to touch anything there. I turned off my firewall before updating it aswell so, firewall is not the problem.

Anything I can do to check?

Can you do this Ping, loss, fluct problems since last update... ?

Maybe delete temporary internet files from browser ( download is done by http )
and try tracert http://www.swat-portal.com

Will edit after I clear the files with CCleaner.

EDIT: No success.

... a wild guess can be blacklisting. Open What Is My IP Address? IP Address Tools and More and click Blacklist Check

Trinity_ · Jan 22nd 2015

Blacklisted:

b.barracudacentral.org
dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net
l2.apews.org
pbl.spamhaus.org
zen.spamhaus.org

Offline Blacklisted:

bl.csma.biz
bl.technovision.dk
blackholes.five-ten-sg.com
dnsbl.njabl.org
bl.emailbasura.org
dnsbl.ahbl.org

not that good. I hope that you share that ISP connection with others (not a private/permanent ip address).
Perhaps try to remove yourself from lists at Blocklist Removal Center - The Spamhaus Project (put in your ip) or get a permanent (your own) ip address, to avoid this.

It's not unusual that service (internet/server) providers use these blacklists.

Trinity_ · Jan 22nd 2015

Removed the blacklist. The issue persists. I've stated that I tried different wireless networks (so different IPs) and the issue persisted.

Tried opening the updater again. A new screen appeared: Screenshot by Lightshot
