Probably DNS problems, should clear up with a day or two. I couldn't visit the site or patch the game with Comcast's DNS. Can't resolve outspark.com with it.

Solution (for me at least) - switch to another DNS server to patch/get to the site temporarily. Verizon's DNS (4.2.2.2) and OpenDNS worked as well.

Theres also a post from a CSR that tells you to powercycle (restart) your modem/router or obtain a new IP to *hopefully* fix the problem. Can't copy and paste the post since I changed back to my default DNS already.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if that will solve anyone's problem but that's what I found.

ok, I managed to get things working and back on the game(a lot of players are online to let you know). I have vista and did the document and settings thing Veidhra mentioned but in vista it is different and their is no document and settings folder because the folder name is changed to users and is hidden.

This explains why: http://ask-leo.com/why_cant_i_access...ows_vista.html

1. Go to control panel and select classic view, then click folder options.
2. Click view tab and scroll down to find and select show hidden files.
3. Go to C: and look for users(in xp it is "document and settings"), then look for your computer name(if you named it gimmy then look for gimmy).
4. Select AppData then local then temp, inside temp folder look for the fiesta patches and launcher patches.

So it is:
1. Control panel
2. Classic View
3. Folder Options
4. View Tab
5. show hidden files

6. C: > users > (your computer name) > AppData > Local > Temp

This is for the vista users only not for the xp. I was only able to find one fiesta patch and managed to get back online. I made a copy of my fiesta patch in case I needed it.

If this post does not help or you do not have any patches then reinstall the game. If you can't reinstall the game I don't know.

I did the "turn off modem and router" thing Blaaaaaaaah mention after I used the fiesta patch I found in the temp folder.
