Yeah try doing the latest patches.
When was the last time you were on? Try downloading any files with the date or past the date when you got on and extract and put them in the correct location
Here is the server files

ok first step i need you to do is uninstall EA from your computer .. once uninstalled go to your harddrive and look for the folder EndlessAgesR and if it is still there i need you to delete it manually once done i want you to install from scratch in this order ...

1st install EALiveSetup.exe
Do not try and autoupdate (dont launch the game yet)

2nd install the EA 1.5 Patch
Do not try and autoupdate (dont launch the game yet)

3rd install the EA 1.6 Patch
You can now start the game and try to login

After doing this if it still doesnt work post and let me know.

**bLeGh2jOo** · 08-07-2008, 02:34 PM

Freezes on what? A certain file? If it is stuck at a single file (0kb downloading: file.cab), download the individual cab file and extract the files inside to your gamefiles folder.

uzukeo have you tried all the steps in this post?

Ok I had similar problems so I did the above mentioned. Now I get a load screen with 0kb downloaded shades_frontTGA.CAB before the progress bar turns to a greenish blue color with no text

**Telos** · 08-07-2008, 02:47 PM

download shades_front from http://75.126.205.26:8080/ and extract it to your mapsmodels. Otherwise disable your firewall and/or norton.

uzukeo · 08-07-2008, 03:00 PM

ok downloaded the files one by one and extracted to the gamefiles and blam it did indeed work.. im so happy i havent played since b4 it dissapered...WOOT

**Telos** · 08-07-2008, 04:09 PM

The biggest culprit most of the time is norton.

I Did The Patch And I Go To Start The Game It It Wotn Start It Goes And Does 2.cab Files Then It Stopes What The **** Do I Do Im To The Point To Say Screw It And Never Play Endless Ages Online Againe OR RECEMEND IT TO FIRNEDS

Kumarurockz · 08-07-2008, 07:57 PM

Go to the new patch page, then go to seperate files, and download all the specific ons that ur computer keeps getting hung up on. That'll help.

vileninja159 · 08-07-2008, 07:58 PM

so u want me to download all the files i only do 2 files and then it stopes so im supposed to download all of them

**bLeGh2jOo** · 08-07-2008, 09:00 PM

Download the .cab file of whichever file it gets stuck on. Open up the .cab file, drag the files inside it into your \EndlessAgesR\gamefiles\ folder.

It should work afterwards. If it gets stuck on another file, repeat.

First - Uninstall EA and delete the folder if it is still there.
Second - Reinstall EA BUT do NOT start EA.
Third - Download patch 1.5 and install it. (Do NOT Start EA)
Fourth - Download patch 1.6 and install it. (Note: It says patch 1.5 durring install but is infact 1.6)
Last - Turn off all firewalls and/or Norton + anything else that would block your connection to EA.
Run the game.
-----------------
If a file gets stuck saying Download: 0 kb: Filename.cab (Or some other ending) then close EA.
Go to http://75.126.205.26:8080/ and download the .cab of the file that was stuck while loading. Extract these files (Or copy and paste) them to the gamefiles folder.
-----------------
Once finished with that, Start the patcher/game (With firewall turned off) and type in everything and click Next. Repeat the above process for each file that gets stuck on download: 0 kb. (may only be one or two files)

CK2100 · 08-08-2008, 12:27 PM
