    yup error on both client and on IE. :(

    I have the shaders error on client:

    ShaderServerBase: failed to open shader package file
    ‘httpnz://drasaonline-481.level3.bpcdn.net/cdndata/export_win32/shad
    Ers/shaders_sm30’!


    and this on IE:

    ---------------------------
    Error: Failed to download a critical file.
    ---------------------------
    An error occurred while downloading important game data. You can restart the game any time to try again though.
    To improve your gaming experience we recommend downloading the whole game by using the game client and its preload function.
    The following error message is used by Drakensang developers for debugging purposes:
    Failed downloading a critical file (HTTP response error)!
    HttpStatus=406 Desc=
    File URL: http://drasaonline-481.level3.bpcdn...ers/__toc.938c3f18faf31091a2fcf9692561015b.nz
    There may be a problem with your internet connection. Please try again in a few minutes.
    ---------------------------

    And it does seem to be a CDN problem... assuming that is what the cdn stands for haha

    "No account with this username/password combination was found." - It says.

    Do I need to register another account for this server? Then try the instructions you mentioned above? Thanks

    If you don't have account at TS you will have to create one.
    Your live server account username/pass combo doesn't work there...it is different server.

    EDIT
    ======
    If you wan't to download all the files without creating an TS account ... you can use booger73's method with client https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/shaderserverbase-error.72969/#post-664454

    The earlier post about downloading the game from the test server worked for me. Go to http://stablebuild.drakensang.com/user, log in or create a new account, then click the download game button. I'm not sure what happened after that, I think I had the client open when I ran the client installer and it began to download all the required files and map files normally. I can finally run the game again after wasting over an hour trying to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it!

    Right click on "Drakensang online" Icon/Shortcut. Go to properties
    Add: After the line "C:\Program Files (x86)\Drakensang Online\thinclient.exe" -stable
    Start up client.. Let it download and update.. don't log in
    Exit app

    Go back to app, go to properties.. get rid of the '-stable'

    Register an account.. I did the same, then I played until I get to Kingshill. After that, I started the Live Tegan Server and it's ok now.

    Hello

    There are two ways how to fix this error, both suggested by players:
    1. suggested by @booger73 - You don't have to create Test Server account, just follow these instructions:
    2. suggested by @trakilaki - Use your browser and head to Test Server, create account or login to existing one. Start the game and wait 5-10 minutes, until the game loads the files. Close the game and log in to your live server account.

    Cheers.
