I haven't logged in MOULA for about couple of weeks and today when I tried to log in the launcher just stays at 'checking update' and freezes there for about 10 minutes and I restart the launcher and it freezes at 'Initializing patcher'... never encount such thing before..I got no problem with my Internet connection and still running the launcher when typing this topic..is server down? or I just need to keep waiting ?

That makes two of us!
Intertubes are working fine. Guess it might be a block somewhere down the line/servers have a hickup/just not ment to scoot online tonight?

Same for me.
Are other people getting into the Cavern today?
I was on about midnight Tuesday and got the Net 6 dump.
But i have had the "Initializing patcher..." freeze ever since then.

So, please: Are other explorers reaching the Cavern now?

From the Common Problems and How To Solve Them thread:

Installation Problems wrote:

I'm stuck at "Initializing Patcher..."
This indicates that there is more than one patcher currently running. To solve this problem:

1.) Open the Task Manager (ctrl + alt + del)
2.) Click the "Processes" tab
3.) Select UruLauncher.exe
4.) Click the "End Process" button
5.) Click the "Yes" button on the dialog that appears

Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for every UruLauncher.exe in the process list. Once they are all closed. You can restart the patcher.

Try that and if you are still getting the issue, then we can take a deeper look into the problem.

Still doing it here.
Made sure there were no UruLauncher.exe processes running before trying again.

*Scratches his beard*
The mystery deepens!

leftover process ended..now it's stuck at 'checking for patcher update...'

I've left it running for 20 minutes now.
Still says "Checking for patcher update".

Shall I bonk it with a spanner?

I tried Drakmyth's advice, then i did a hard boot. After that, i was OK.
Thanks for your kind advice, Drakmyth.

Not able to log in here either, it's been weeks since I last played MOULAgain. I'm stuck at the patcher update, and I've repeated the process stated above multiple times. I think I may just try again tomorrow/today.

Are you making uruexplorer.exe run as adminstrator? (Ignore the shortcut).

Ah'lex · **Posted:** Fri Apr 09, 2010 6:52 pm

What do you mean? I think I might be doing it as administrator, but what does that gotta do with anything?

I cannot get in either ...just hangs at patcher update ... :evil:

boblishman · **Posted:** Fri Apr 09, 2010 8:07 pm

ok... make sure your patcher is 1.887 ....if not, re-download the Cyan installer and run it ... that fixed it for me ...

I had the same problem. Downloading the latest installer https://account.mystonline.com/download/MOULInstaller.exe and re-installing MOUL into the same directory fixed the issue for me. Don't worry, you won't have to download the entire game again.

I'm stuck at the "Logging in to URU. Please wait..." Wonder if it's another server problem?
