Launcher error 206 "Unable to retrieve patch data"
So I have I problem where when the launcher loads, it comes up with the error message "Unable to retrieve patch data. Please check network connection. (206)".
(I think) I have tried all the possibilities on the help page, network seems to all be fine, driver up to date, Firewall enabled, but this error still occurs. If required I should be able to get the TraceRoute etc., but I've not done that yet. The part I don't understand is that occasionally it will work, however only rarely, most of the time I get nowhere. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the launcher, but still no luck.
I've included a log as an example. It's not the full log, but there have been many attempts so I've just cut a section of one full attempt with only one try at logging in and put it into a notepad file.
After trying to log in the first time the error message "The login service is currently unavailable. Please visit our forums for the latest updates on the status of this service." also appears.
To me it looks like it has something to do with the "patcher2017". At the moment I have a .version file. I checked the link in the log, and tried replacing patcher2017 with that, and tried both at the same time but still no luck. Also, just to put more information out there, this has been happening for months, but I can't remember exactly when it started, however it seems (I may be wrong) to have gotten worse. The launcher repairer only seemed to start the launcher itself and have the same issue. I hope that's enough information!
I'm stuck, if someone could help I'd be very grateful, and I apologise if this has already been resolved and I'm blind!
The launcher is like a web browser so can be affected
Try switching DNS server to 8.8.8.8 on that system as test , note how it is set before so you can go back to those settings if you want later on.
This guide link should help test using googles DNS server , this should actually bypass Norton connect safe
