Client Related Question

[alehawk]

Hi!
I put my post here because I dont know where to put it.
I installed April 10 Nightly.
In earlier versions of L2 like c4 I add servers adderss in windows host and I used to run l2.exe and that was it.
In gracia that doesnt work. What should I do to make the client connect?
tnx!

1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad
2. In the window that pops up, enter the following EXACTLY:

start "" system\l2.bin

3. Click File -> Save As...
4. In the field "Save as type" change to "All Files"
5. In the field "File Name" enter: StartL2.bat
6. In the field "Save in" (at the top) locate the folder where the game is installed, normally C:\Program Files\Lineage II\
7. Make sure you are saving in the right place - you should see a file called "LineageII.exe" or "LineageII" there with a brownish icon.
8. Click Save
9. Close Notepad
10. Right click on the Start-button in Windows.
11. From the menu, choose "Explore" - Now the file explorer starts.
12. Use the file explorer to locate the newly created file "StartL2.bat".
13. Right click on the file.
14. From the menu, choose "Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)"
15. You should now have a shortcut to StartL2.bat on your desktop, which you can use whenever you want to start the game without running the updater (like if NCZ0ft's server is down!)

I will give it a try, thank you very much!

start "" system\l2.bin
does not work

[Zoey76]

Create a file in notepad, inside the file add:

Code: Select all

@start system\l2.bin

Save it as start.bat

Put it in your Lineage 2 folder, like c:\Lineage II\

Also you can write the full path to the l2.bin file and put the start.bat file anywhere, example:

Code: Select all

@start c:\Lineage II\system\l2.bin

[jurchiks]

@start C:\program files\lineage ii\system\l2.bin
in a .bat file does not work

[Notorious]

Must have " around the path when space in it: @start "C:\program files\lineage ii\system\l2.bin"

[jurchiks]

@start "C:\Program Files\Lineage II\system\L2.bin"
does not work
you sure about this?
What should I have it open with by default?
I mean <attachment>

Please try the solution I provided in the second post of this thread. If you follow it exactly, it WILL work.

[jurchiks]

And I just said i've tried all of the mentioned ones in this thread, NOT WORKING
Edit: it doesn't even work if I open CMD at system folder and type start l2.bin

,bat file should work, anyways try this viewtopic.php?f=94&t=15645

[jurchiks]

meh, it's not like i really need it, i'm just saying that FOR ME it doesn't work
I don't wanna install a new program for something so trivial

[alehawk]

Hi!
It worked for me but the game will stay in the splash screen. Is that problem related to l2.ini and server ip
Tnx

[ThePhoenixBird]

check your antivirus software or gameguard is just mocking on you

l2.ini? what is the problem with that? dont touch it, dont speak about it! jeez sacrilege!!!

[jurchiks]

Oh will you stop that, many people use and will use patched system files, you just can't stop them.
Changing ip in l2.ini or patching system folder has no effect on gameplay, unless you change things the way they shouldn't be (and those who don't know how usually don't do it).
