I would assume that is Nimba but I think it was somewhat of a guessing game figuring out the exact link to get the exe to download. It might just be a different cookie.

You cannot grab the exe atm the cookie is no longer valid. The script in its current form doesnt work.

Damn. Thanks for the info.
Saw a screenshot of the new launcher so someone has to have the cookie. You the man, Bob.

I think there was a way to retrieve the new cookie when the old one was still active but I im not sure its possible now that the old one is invalid, obviously aside from the person who already has the new cookie. But this isnt my area of expertise so just speculating.

Notice the error...

You wouldn't be able to see the error if the cookie was not valid.
They use IIS and Application Request Routing for most of their servers.
They just have to fix the routing error.

In his case it might of been a connection issue if he tries again he will probably get a different error, everyone else gets a 403 error, because the authentication/cookie is invalid.

I've traveled from the office back to the hotel a few times today and get the same error message at both places.

Thats wierd. Well I get the proper 403 error. If I had the right hash code I would be able to download from their servers.

You must be authenticating incorrectly then. There is nothing wrong with the cookie.

There is a reason the beta client, or the dev client, or the demo or the stage demo clients are no longer able to connect and crash instantly. Because access is denied to the servers. Are you able to launch the client and it updates? I dont think so. The servers are still there just the no access to them, and the only thing that determines access is the cookie.

How are you suppose to execute the script?
when i double click it (python is installed), it opens a black window then close automaticly.

The reason for that being that the server is experiencing a routing issue, not because the client can't auth.

No, the new BWE Client connects perfectly fine and updates perfectly. There are no routing issues there is a reason you are going to have to download a new client for the beta weekend event.

BobSaget, can you explain how you did it then?
I have a very very slow internet connection (by satellite) and won't be able to download in time for the beta event (if I wait for the official release of the client).
