Seems it has fixed the issue!Daegoth said:If you are experiencing this error, please use this executable for a quick fix:

All you need to do is to extract the archive and copy the executable to your game directory (overwrite).
All you do is extract the .exe and drop it in your warband folder over the old one. Don't run the .exeScientia Excelsa said:Tried the quick-fix -- Newton.dll was not found?

Tonight I've tried to connect to many different servers, many times; every time it has paused for a second or two and then a dialog box saying "Error. Unable to connect to server." came up. I then downloaded and extracted the fixed .exe to the installation directory, warband starts, but exactly the same error occurs; I've restarted the game a few times, clicked "Start Search" to refresh the server list, still fails. There are a few people listed on some of the servers, so it can't be a problem for everyone; and I'm not sure what's different for me compared to last night, was there a server side patch? I could play another online game fine, so it doesn't seem to be my connection.
In rgl_log.txt there's only an uninteresting list of "Main server response: ERROR", and since I run from linux with wine the console output after each attempt was:
Not sure if that's interesting at all. If you'd rather not bother with problems reported while using linux and wine, that's OK, mainly posting to see if anyone else is having problems after applying the fix.Code:fixme:wininet:HTTPREQ_QueryOption Semi-STUB INTERNET_OPTION_SECURITY_FLAGS: 0 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_SECURITY_FLAGS; STUB err:wininet:NETCON_secure_connect SSL_connect failed: 12157
Vornne said:Daegoth: unfortunately it didn't work; the same error messages came up on screen and in the terminal. I didn't find the option in rgl_config.txt, so I added the line "use_secure_connection = 0" at the end; while the game was running the file was left untouched, but after quitting rgl_config.txt was overwritten, removing the use_secure_connection line; I tested this with both the .660 .exe and the patched version, checking timestamps and using find in the editor. I guess it means that my client doesn't recognize that option? There aren't any other options listed with "secure" or "connection" in them.
Or since you said it was about verifying the serial number (happens about then), maybe my serial has been lost or removed from the approved list? Along with a few others... since it connected fine with the .660 client I've just tried to use, and other similar online games still work, I would guess it was some sort of server problem.
Thanks for the tip, anyway
