Error :( How do I fix this? (Fixed)

[Alphy]

There was a problem getting the list of files for download. An update may be in progress. Please try again in 20-30 minutes.

I was launching my game and it keeps telling me this. I have tried verifing the cache but nothing happens.

Can someone help me out I have no idea what to do I really don't want to uninstall this game and reinstall it cause it takes forever to install.



1. open file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

2. add line without any # or other nonsense and save:
64.37.169.11 manifest.patch.station.sony.com


OR

1/ Open Task Manager, find LaunchPad.exe then "End task" this process.
2/ Delete all content in 2 directory :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlanetSide 2/LaunchPad.libs/LaunchPad.Cache
C:\Users\<YOUR PC USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Daybreak Game Company\Digests

3/ Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, copy the host file to somewhere, then open that host file and add this link :

64.37.169.11 manifest.patch.daybreakgames.com

After that, copy back that edited version to etc folder (overwrite it)

NOTICE :
"manifest.patch.daybreakgames.com" is RIGHT
"manifest.patch.station.sony.com" is WRONG

3/ Open Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center. Click on Wifi Connection >> Propeties >> IPV4 >>> Change the DNS to OpenDNS

208.67.222.222
207.67.220.220

4/ Open Launpad again and you maybe good to go.

This WorkAround is not my complete seft-made. I google the solution around from other sweet guy, tried every single of them then combine to a single solution, thanks to all of you and hope this help !

1. open file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

2. add line without any # or other nonsense and save:
64.37.169.11 manifest.patch.station.sony.com

3. Shoots Planetmans?

Seems to be a DNS issue atm... That should get you in for now.

Definitely works. Guessing you saw this on the official forums too? Looked there myself just to check, and if everyone doesn't do this, no one will be able to play it seems.
