KAG Downloading News

As of this morning, every time I attempt to launch the KAG Beta it gets permanently stuck on downloading news. I am running it as an administrator, and have already tried completely removing and re-installing it, so please don't suggest that. This seems like a very odd error, so I don't know if there is a way to disable the downloading news? Because that seems to be the main problem.

Edit : Also, it was running fine yesterday, and I have not made ANY changes, so I'm not sure what's up.

Alright well I just bypassed the launcher all together by using the nolauncher batch file in the KAG install directory, but it would still be nice to be able to run the launcher as opposed to bypassing it every time.

Edit : Of course by bypassing the launcher I can't easily change my resolution or make it full screen which is also annoying, hopefully I can do that in one of the config files?

 

I got exact same problem.... -_-

 

Same issue. Rebooted, uninstalled/re-installed, still happens.

 

Me too.

 

Deleted the Version.text file. Still occurs.

Edit-----

Also, I see that there are similar issues that have gone unresolved with no further information. Is this an issue on the server's end that we can expect to clear up? Or is there a .dll file or some such thing lurking that needs to be annihilated on our end?

 

Same here : C

 

Ok, so everyone knows about kag news, right? Well when I start kag it says, Downloading kag news, when it hits 100%, nothing happens. When I try to Exit it it says, kag not responding. Please help!

SAME.

 

I thought it was just me....Same thing here....


edit- For now you can run the game using the nolauncher.bat found in the directory you installed the game to.

 

yea i have the same problem seems like alot have that problem even removing and reupdating doesnt work

 

Thanks!

 

Same for me

 

Same problem for me.. It was working today then it just stopped.

 

Anyone have a mac OSX fix for this problem?

 

Run the game with the nolauncher.bat for now.

 

anyone have a mac fix or work around for this problem?

 

Uhm, How?

 

Go where your KAG Beta folder is installed (For me is Computer/Local Disk/Users/(My name)/KAG-Beta). You should find it there.

 

When I try to run the nolauncher.batch it just brings up the debug console for a split second then closes.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit if that makes a difference.
