Error connecting to update server:(11001,'getaddrinfo failed')

[coles1]

can anyone help me? i get this message at bottom of login screen, and when i exit it, it says: see logfile 'C:\Program Files\Outspark\Launcher\outspark.exe.log for details.

I don't know whats wrong because 4 days ago it was fine.. maybe something to do with new patches?
Oh, and also, it doesnt even have the "login" button available to click (i can type in username and password, but not press login)
NOTE: i HAVE re-installed, re-started, and freed up space on my hard-drive several times.

The issue with the launcher can be resolved by manually downloading and installing the patch. Please save to your desktop, and install it from your desktop. Here is a link that will help.

the link does not work!

[silenceisgolden]

alos haveing the same problem and link not working for me too well the link works but when i run fiesta it still gives the same problem

[burddin]

thats becuase it's an old patch it does not update anything

[jimmykvt]

hm..., i sense that the patch server is down, because it keeps on displaying the 'downloading patch' words there but nothing happens. So I suspect it is the patch server problem, cannot connect to the patch server. I try to install the 1.2.71 patch launcher but still the same result.

[Zenkarus]

yea im having the same problem and when i click the link it comes up as a error page ><

[taco-ninja07]

Yea I've tried over and over again and I gotten the same results much info is needed plz =[

[disordeined]

same thing here seeing this all over the threads patch did not fix

[TheDreaming]

Look; I tried the patch that was suggested, but I still get the same error message. I am looking at replies posted herein, and it seems like others are in the same predicament as me. The only feature on my computer that doesn't seem to function properly is Outspark Launcher: This leads me to believe that the problem exists with the launcher. Is anything being done to correct the situation?

[tel0s88]

same problem. uninstalled and re-installed, downloaded the patch.
still doesnt work.

[Zenkarus]

yea i think the gms realize there is a problem soo lets just chill a while and see what happens

[Riezen]

Hmm i thought mabe it was jus my computer but i guess not i still haven't been able to get back online yet i wonder wats up with the patch though

[Scadel]

[adminxg@gmail.com]

This is a DNS problem, i have too this problem buti can solver but i can publish that information because GM's can bann me...

Solution: GM's update DNS

I wonder what kind of script they use to build there game. im a game programmer and if i had to guess id say that they probably just miss spelled something when writing there server code. i know torque uses client based code and server based code. all it took was a "2" and my game didnt work for the longest time. it took forever to fix too.

[greywolf_82]

GM Murdoch did put up a patch with instructions to save to ur deskt top and then run it from there. it also seems that didnt work for anyone. it didnt for me anyways.

I sincerely apologize for being unable to connect to our website or launch Fiesta. The patch link should be online and working properly, I checked it myself just a minute ago. If you are having trouble with the new Outspark Launcher patching, you can manually install it with this link:

http://cdn2.outspark.com/patches/fiesta/Fiesta.Patch.1.2.71.exe

If you continue to have problems with our patch server, you can send us an email at support@outspark.com and we can then assist you further. When you send the email, could you please include the following details:

1) Your complete computer specifications including your Operating System, Video Card, RAM, and CPU
2) Your Internet Connection speed
3) A screenshot if possible of the error message
4) Your Outspark.exe log file attached to the email

By default, this file is located at

C:\Program Files\Outspark\Launcher\outspark.exe

Thank you for your patience and support!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are having a 'getaddrinfo' issue this is due to a recent DNS server change that we made this morning. You can reset your DNS by either resetting your modem or router (if you are using one) by either unplugging it from its power source and waiting 10 seconds to re-plug it in, OR by holding the reset button until all the lights flash on an off. If this does not work, you will most likely need to contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them to reset your DNS.

I hope this helps to resolve your issues and thank you for your patience.
