Is this a common problem?

Whem I click the warhammer online start icon I get the following window:

"The patch client was unable to retrive the file [patcher-goa.prod.sig] from the patch server. Please try the patch operation again in a short while."

When I click on the war.exe and start the game I got :

"Authentication failed- application will now terminate"

I have open the ports for my firewal and  tried with no firewall but no luck. and reinstalled the game. The Pachserver are up.

Intel Pentium 4, 3200 MHz,
2000MB RAM,
Nvida GeForce 7600GT,
Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme
Windows xp, servicepack 3
Warhammeronline Collectors Edition ,GOA Europe

Sorry I can't help you with your error.
I was just wondering since I noticed that you have a similar computer to mine, what kind of performance you are having with the game?

I'm playing with a 6600 AGP and it's sorta sucking atm.

I'd like to know if it be worth it getting a better GFX card. (basically my only option)

Thanks in advance, and sorry I cannot help you with you error.

I can't start the game at all so I dont know the performance, sorry!

However, I have no problem with:

Lord's of the rings online, Age of Conan, World of Warcraft , EVE Online, Everquest II, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Saga of Ryzom

I am having the same issue.  Can someone please help.

I sometimes get this as well, to get around this all I had to do was a full scan and then it worked.

Hope it helps.

Just had the same problem.

Full scan didn't fix it, however I just kept trying and got in eventually. It might be something to do with how busy the servers are.

I had that error, the files you need to worry about:

a] patch.cfg

b] warpatcher.exe

Make sure your client is not a US version of the BETA or US Retail [both is downloadable from various sites], you won't be able to login with them with a EU key.

Your patch.cfg should look like this:

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

<PatchConfig>
<Config>
<ResourceModules>
<Module name="http" />
<Module name="login">
<PreAuth />
</Module>
</ResourceModules>
<PatcherProduct>
<Product name="EAMythic Patcher" description="EAMythic Patcher" prodfile="patcher-goa.prod">
<manifestrepos>
<repo url="http://patcher.war-europe.com/patch/patcher/manifest/" />
</manifestrepos>
</Product>
</PatcherProduct>
<MainProduct>
<Product name="Warhammer European Release" description="Warhammer European Client" prodfile="war-goa.prod">
<manifestrepos>
<repo url="http://patcher.war-europe.com/patch/warhammer/manifest/" />
</manifestrepos>
</Product>
</MainProduct>
</Config>
</PatchConfig>

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

If you see anything in your patch.cfg related to "warhammer-beta.prod" etc, then you should try to get a new warpatcher.exe and patch.cfg [yes both] or the EU retail client  (from a EU player that's getting in).

I've had endless issues because i had the US Open Beta client , while i'm a EU retail player.

Okay same thing happened to me and I just could'nt fix it.
 

I ended up doing Re-install and it worked . Howevr a few hours later it happened again. This time cleared all temporayary files and history did a registery scan  re-booted my  Router and it worked.

Dont know if it was a fluke but its been fine since.

tried didnt help

just short of reinstalling the game

I forgot to mention...im on US servers..not EU...but this problem isn't fixed by reinstall.

My patch.cfg looks the same as above.  I start to think my Game DVD discs are broken and the game does not install correct. I did uninstalled windows xp servicepack 3 but still same problem. However, the good thing is my pc are more stable and my programs working normal without sp3 ;)
 

Anyway, thank you guys for the replies.

Alot off ppl have misstyped registration. I did it myself, there is some figures which looks very mch alike, G and 6 for example. The thing is, u dont get a "Wrong Registration" warning after you executed it. It looks like everything is a-ok, but u cant start the patcher. Then  when you open your email u suddenly find a mail, telling you that u need to re-register.

So -tldr, check mail...

If that didnt do it then check  :\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\logs and open the debug log. Copy paste it and mail it to Mythic...

 I got the mail:

"Your Code has been correctly registered. It also gives you access to the following components which have been activated:

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
1 month - WAR
Collector's Edition exclusive in-game items

The WAR Team"

So the last option I will do is to send them the debug log.

My patch problem is solved!

I did uninstall my " Panda Internet Security 2008", rebooted the pc and now am I able to start the patcher and pacth the game.
