"Launcher cannot obtain patching information"

[ChocoboRanger]

Starcraft 2 also shoots out this error, im pretty positive its just regular maintenance being irregular.

4.0.6 today?

[willsucks]

What I have noticed on this whole thread there is NO USEFULL INFORMATION just a bunch of cons complaining

Here is what Blizzard says to do........

run cmd

ipconfig /release

wait 30sec

ipconfig /renew

wait

inconfig /flushdns

If this does not work It is due to Realm being down OR Windows Firewall you accidently pressed block

Internet explorer has nothing to down with WoW's launcher or the ports it uses

If you dick around with your settings in Internet explorer change them back because whoever posted that worked has a IQ of a muskrat

Now if your problem continues to not work after realms are online Call tech support directly at 7am Pacific time to not be on hold for 5 hours with 12 year olds with "WHY IS MY CHARACTER GREEN" calling them

here is there number 1-800-592-5499

soon as you hear ladys voice press 1 then press 2 that will direct you in english to techsupport live

Very unhelpful post. Has not worked for anyone. Please stop posting useless information.

The servers are down.

If youd bother to read a help file or 2, it says check the status of the servers before doing anything else.

its on their end guys, relax. will work again after maintenance

[music616]

Hurr durr it's maintenance day!

[jaimelannister]

servers are down for maintainence until 9:00 am (pst)

this includes launcher server, thus the error.

11:00 am (pst)

The servers are down just wait it out its not gonna be any faster if you screw something up and have to fix that to just read forums, play in the snow, or watch t.v. until the 11 ma is over

there is nothing wrong on your side, it cant get patching info because the servers arent online yet.

If you click on the launcher believing that it will fail, it works! Reverse psychology FTW!

Old topic is old, maintenance day is maintenance day, and redundancy is redundant.
