I know it cant be just me having this problem, so could Phil or Ucross (cant remember who designed it) take a look at why its doing this.

I open up the launcher and if its trying to update it ALWAYS gets stuck on the very last file for me then erros out with code 6.

If I have the newest version installed and am trying to launch a game from the launcher itself it will begin to download the battle files and then once again freeze on the last file and error code 6.

Why is it that (and I know this happens to everyone) the launcher errors out with code 6 (general error Im guessing) after like 15 seconds of it being online? Seems to me that the net code needs to be revamped to stay alive longer. Im a little tired of having to dl and launch the game manually.

Edit: This goes with new version of EIR too, I have to manually download every version, the launcher errors out when patching; again on the very last file it needs to download.

Every error should show two numbers. The second one is most likely 10060. Why it happens, I have no idea. Why on the last file, even less.

The network code is indeed the biggest issue with the Launcher right now, but I have no idea what could be wrong and I doubt we'd find anyone who would be willing to work with my ugly C++ code.

It might be time to try to look for new volunteers to write up their own Launchers, better than the currently available one.

I wasnt bitching at you Phil, just letting you know there is a issue there. If I had more time I would help with the code (would have to brush up on C++ too) but I barely have time to play a single game at night anymore.

I understand, but more and more people are having issues with it, and I can't solve them. The network stuff I'm totally baffled by. Timeout errors, which should be random are happening at specific times, like for you on the last file, when the code executed is exactly the same for all files.
