Help: Unable to Retrieve Patch Data. Please Check Network Connection. (208)

Hi.

I'm a returning player. I log in and everything seems fine. However, as the the subject suggests, I get a notification on the launcher screen saying: "Unable to Retrieve Patch Data. Please Check Network Connection. (208)." My internet connection is strong. I used microsoft edge to download the files that allows me to access the launcher. Before asking the question myself, I did some research to see if others had a similar problem, and they did. However, the solutions that were given did not help me. I want to not only continue where I left of several sum years ago but to relieve some childhood memories from the game. I need help resolving the issue.

    208 is a communication issue , the launcher logs will show where it is failing to communicate 

    reboot the router/modem and remove and re-add exceptions for launcher.exe to your antivirus and firewall

    oh. Thank you for the explanation. I might know what is causing it. I downloaded the launcher at school :/ When I get home the issue might go away. If not, I will post an update. Besides, there is no way I can reboot the school's router without getting backlash from everyone.

    Figured out the issue. It was due to my school's internet. No need for an explanation. I let it download overnight and when I opened up my computer at school again to check the progress I got a different error. (somewhat forgot what it was. Seems like I gotta download the entire thing during the weekend if I have any hopes of playing  ;-;

  • What does "Unable to retrieve patch data. Please check network connection. (206)" mean?

    I have already check my network, I can't unplug router, because we have fibre. And I uninstalled and reinstalled the "game".
