OctoWow - Forums

In the launcher it says
```
Error: Failed to reach update server
Please try again later
```

that the Iceland download mirror is offline. So how do you guys download and play the game? I am downloading via torrent right now and hopefully can link the launcher to the downloaded torrent folder and see what happens.

But also isn't OctoWoW supposed to be fully security focused so then why even mention the download is from Iceland?

server is under huge DDos attack so launcher may not work properly
yes, you can link launcher to the folder with game client

After I point the launcher to the client, it tries to verify the file by connecting to a server, but fails.

Playing it directly from game client for now.
