Hello there, i don't know what i am doing wrong... i used search, google several times but without success.
After having downloaded and updated the client i edited the hosts file, but i am still connecting to retail...
here is a picture of the server running -
since i guess the problem must be on client's side im not posting my config, but i can do that if it's necessary.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks in advance.

it doesn't matter what he uses to launch the game, hosts file is most probably wrong or is not read by the game.
unless he has modified l2.ini file, hosts work always.

at the beginning i had no l2.exe at all so i had to make a copy of l2.bin and rename it into l2.exe
now i am using l2.exe to start lineage, yes
hosts file has ABSOLUTELY no influence on the client's behavior.. i tried everything... even to delete it! the client still connects to the retail server...
now (after having tried everything) i downloaded a patched gracia epilogue folder and changed the following
from l2.authd.lineage2.com to localhost
now I am even able to get to the server selection window but no further because of this -
i hope you know what i am doing ;D
thank you in advance
p.s. here is my host file
Code: Select all
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.## This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.## This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one# space.## Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.## For example:## 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.127.0.0.1 localhost# ::1 localhost# 86.127.71.45 L2authd.lineage2.com
p.p.s. here's the protocol i am using maybe it will help

# means a comment, so the content is ignored. Remove the # in front of the ip for l2authd

i know, but why should i make my client connect to l2.authd?
should i place the 127 ip in front of this in this case?

you were complaining that you are always connecting to retail. that is because you have the line commented out in your hosts file. remove the comment and you will connect to the ip you specify.

just delete everything in the hosts file and put
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com
there's nothing else important there anyway, only comments
and change the l2.ini back to what it was, l2authd.lineage2.com
Edit: oh, and protocol version 148 is outdated, update your client (full check)
