You guys are lucky, I got it updated. Now the patcher can't update because I can't connect to CDN servers. Then it mocks me with "ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION"

[slimkiddie]

bump~ any help out there? :(

close Steam, delete the WarZ launcher, open Steam, open Infestation, connect.

try verifying the game integrety

[Silent_Predator]

try this:



"Launcher checking for update": These are the steps: (note: F5 does the same thing as CTRL+SHIFT+R)

Launched the updater, it failed for the first time, it moves on Launcher Checking for update (try 2).

At that point i open my browser, i went to

https://api.infestat...dater/woupd.xml

but also the browser failed loading that page. I tryed to reload with CTRL+SHIFT+R, but it keep on failing, meanwhile i reached (try7).

I keep refreshing with that combination of keys. The updater make the 10th attempt and give me the error.

At that point i refreshed again the page using CTRL+SHIFT+R and i get the result in the browser. I opened immediatly the updater and it starts without problems.

also, this may work aswell:

if the game fails to launch with "error message: failed to replace launcher.exe:
if the updater fails to function:
if the updater freezes:

fix 1) first close steam next go to steam/steamapps/common/The War Z then delete warzlauncher,warzlauncher.exe,warzlauncher.exe.new. You can open steam and launch the game now. (Note: Steam users have only 1 launcher)

(thank you to Ghost Arrow for this fix)

fix 2) Close Steam, go to "my documents" and delete the folder "Arktos" .. if it won't let you delete it, restart your pc, go into safemode and then delete file "Arktos" .. restart your pc, launch the game. If this still fails to fix the issue, delete the file "Arktos" again, and manually update the game via Steam... then launch through Steam.

fix 3) perform both of the above prior to launching Steam

[The doctor is in]

verify game cache

try again

most likely corrupt download

also could be all the new players hitting the update server in your area at same time

it will hopefully work it self out as people settle in
