The reality does stay up, everything else closes abruptly and then the message box that says, "Error: Authentication Failed!", comes up.

Are you using matrix2.bat instead of the normal launcher?

jcool8016 · 16-03-2010, 07:05 PM,

yes, definitely.

There are some times when it will go as far as letting me choose a server, then get to the game's loading screen. But then about 2 seconds later, it all closes down and gives me the error message...

Running the Matrix2.bat as administrator?

ok, I did that for both reality.exe and matrix2.bat. When I did it for reality, it started to run the program normally. But when I right-click run as admin for matrix2.bat, a message box comes up saying: "Do you want to make the following program to make changes to your computer?" I clicked yes. and then nothing happens... Undecided

and you switched your config file before you did it the second time?

Sounds like the patched files were corrupted when you downloaded them, try installing a download manager and re-downloading that .7z file. This happened to someone before and that's what fixed it for them when we went through everything.

Edit: qq lost rep how do this

What do you mean? Why/how would I "switch" it?

The .7z file is the matrix online files right? (like the ones you download if you didn't have the original discs)
