That worked for me

And changing the character page does not do anything; it does not help getting you into the game.
If it worked on that try, it was a coincident (aka luck) but no solution or workaround.
If that would be the solution, the devs would've added it in some way to the launcher already.
Currently it's just random if you get in due to the persistent DDoS.
Next to the password in the patcher, you can chose "Character page", change it from 0 to 6 (you won't see your toons from there, so switch back to 0 after).Malathar wrote: ↑Sun 12 May 2019 6:52 AMSorry noob questions but how do i load another page that's mentioned?

I think just because you don't understand WHY something is working doesn't necessarily mean its not working.
It does seem ridiculous but it has helped many many people get in.
Agreed it is not 100% failsafe but it does work far more than spamming page 0.

Confirmation bias at its best

It has not been a fluke that worked once for me, it has worked REPEATEDLY when trying to spam login does nothing.
I did a fresh install of the game I was working on trying to get in for over an hour I was so frustrated and nothing worked except this, and the 95% issue is still happening, and swapping to page 6 and back to 0 is still getting me in when spamming 0 is not.
So ok it doesn't work because yall KNOW it does nothing, but it gets you in the game.
Load char page 6, hit escape (or quit if you get in to blank page 6 successfully), swap to charpage 0 and log in.

Again this is not a one-time thing, this has consistently been the only way I can log in to the game for the past two days. Regardless I can see you have made up your mind which leads me to think you have not experienced this problem yourself.

It’s actually a precise comparison. It’s exactly the same cognitive mechanism at work in both examples.
There are many posts saying your method does not work but you have conviniently ignored all of those.
Anyhow you are right in one thing it doesn’t harm anybody to try and they are free to do so if they wish. At least in this example nobody is profiteering from it like they do with herbal remidies, psychic readings and the like.
I have and constant experiance the same issue. I just keep trying on page 0 and eventually get through. I would suggest that you would have gotten through on page 0 on all those times you got through on page 6 when you tried it.
Equally I have a pretty good understanding of networks, DDoS attacks their symptoms and effects.

Constant changes as it appears they moving to introduce ToA, new icons, useless stuff, always have instructions to 'download this' and 'patch that'. Now can't log in as well? Not sure what they are thinking, but it clearly has not been thought out ahead of time.

Additional the Phoenix launcher was updated and allows you to select a proxy server.
The proxy selection is optional (for now) and should help mitigating connectivity issues - especially for people from overseas and asia.
In case you did use a VPN for Phoenix, try disabling it and use one of the Phoenix proxy server instead.
One is in Norway, the other next to the actual game server.
lurker wrote: ↑Sun 12 May 2019 5:58 PMWhich is exactly the sort of argument herbal medicine advocates use. ‘Well your ignoring all the anecdotal evidence that says it does’.
There is a perfectly logical and reasonable explanation as to why it ‘does work’ sometimes... because it would have worked anyway had you not have done it at that point in time.
Find one game dev, one developer, one network engineer who will agree there may be some weight behind this and you could have a discussion about it but at the moment it is just logical fallacies.
Answer me this: are you able to log onto page 6 first attempt every time?
We know from the devs that you will consistently be able to log back on to any other page after a successful log on attempt as long as it is done soon after.
So we know that as soon as you log onto ANY page you could log back out and back in again quickly to any other page with no issues. That’s a given.
So the question is: does logging into page 6 occur any quicker (in less attempts) then logging onto page 0. Or can that take you several attempts too?

If proxy "none" don't let you login, try proxy 1 or 2.

Some times "Hit ESC", some others Crash on car selection and 1 time LD after 3 secondes in game "Client not receiving datas from the server"...
I'm in EU too and tried everything, patched with camelot.exe ; tried all proxy ; no VPN activated ; tried to log in about 15 times...

How to do this ? I still can't log-in for no proxy selected errorgruenesschaf wrote: ↑Mon 13 May 2019 1:55 AMThose with an empty proxy list, check your firewall and allow dns lookup as well as ping. The list is done via getting a dns entry and sending pings to each received entry ip to get the displayed roundtrip time.

Any update on this? Firewall disabled, no proxy listed. It was said proxy was optional, but it is required or you cant login.
Fixed the proxy issue, please thanks the DevsAshok wrote: ↑Tue 14 May 2019 12:18 PMNot 100% sure (still @work) but there should be a launcher update available that should fix the empty proxy list and defaults to "none" automatically if your client is unable to reach the proxy.
