Sorry, but if you mod your install in any way, we can't officially support it. Badly written scripts can screw up your install, lingering files can stop people connecting to your server, setting read only on files to stop the launcher from updating it means you could end up with an...

Firewall issue of some sort? Your packets aren't getting through. Just remember we updated the Legions.exe file, so any software firewall might not be happy with it.

Show us your console.log so we can diagnose it.

Let's be realistic, far too many idiots registered a stupid number of additional smurf accounts to evade it anyway. The advantages (being able to host your own server) far outweighs this, unless you really wanted us to keep the game locked forever?

Go go blog post! Servers will be updated over the next couple of hours, so please be patient!

This issue should now be fixed, it was due to the patch server being moved.

I've split this post from the original thread - please don't post new bug reports in other threads.

More info here! Please test the update, as we're wanting to push the changes live in a few days time.

Due to the security of the game, auto downloading is highly unlikely to happen. However I'm sure some improvements on adding maps for users is probably something to be done in the future.

In the same directory as Launcher.exe - create a directory called "public-test", inside that directory create a new text file and rename it to Legions.exe (make sure it doesn't have a .txt extension). That will force the Legions Launcher into individual file download mode. Try it first, then...

Let's do the short version for those who can't follow the posts in this thread: Hotswap was down for 3 days because our provider null routed our IP for no reason. It's back up, game servers are currently running. We aren't happy with our provider, and given that there aren't enough users to...

The settings are usable if you feel the need to modify them, here are the defaults, min and max values you can use. Anything outside of these are rejected by Legions.exe. PacketRateToServer Default: 32 Min/Max: 8/32 PacketRateToClient Default: 16 Min/Max: 1/32 PacketSize Default: 400...

For us to collect donations, only to say that we're killing off the server that's funded by the donations wouldn't be very fair - would it? It's time for us to let other players host servers, and scale down our own servers. There should be sufficient coverage from Element Town servers in...

We've got a small community, with not enough people to justify the amount we've been spending on Hotswap. There's simply no need for us to run every possible server type when very few players actually use them, so I'm probably going to scale down the amount of servers we run. I've closed the...

Nice to see other people hosting decent servers! Hopefully things will become easier for players once public-test goes live.

As I mentioned to St3lth yesterday, Linode is the other cheap option which I can trust for hosting a cheap server in Japan. The lowest $20/month package should easily host a single server, maybe two. Just have to ensure the game servers are restarted daily to prevent any memory leaks killing the...

Looks like Hotswap is back, after our host finally figured out that rebooting the server or trying to reinstall it isn't going to solve a problem when the IP of the server is null routed. I'm not happy with this entire support fiasco, so whilst Hotswap is up for now - I'm currently looking...

I know it sucks, sorry. :(

Private NJ is hosted on Linode (referral link) and is pretty awesome for $20/month. The amount of memory is a bit low, but the CPU performance is usually excellent.

If someone is really keen and wants to run another server in the same location (either Tokyo or Singapore) from Amazon EC2, you can find more details here. Running a single server costs somewhere between $30-$35 a month if you use a spot instance, however the main risk with spot instances is...
