Newbie seeking help.

[WildDrive]

Hello, newbie here I hope you can help me out in understanding some stuff.

I just recently downloaded and unzipped the files from the full client and patched it from A3_ManiaPatch511. I disabled the anti virus because it mentions the A3Client as a potential threat. From what I can gather, just open A3.exe and that's it right?

I did that and all I get is an extra pop up which says at the bottom: "Fail to connect FTP server" @__@;;

If it's the wrong method to do so, please help out step by step. Thanks very much.

Regards,
WD. :3

Our AutoUpdate servers are down. Please use the Bypass Launcher to start the game.

Okay, bypass launcher. I pressed Connect on the next window but I get:






The programs were open were only: firefox, A3 folder, download folder, utorrent and winamp. Sorry, I'm bad at this. >_<;;

Follow these steps.

- Open Bypass Launcher
- Select Launch A3 (NOT CONNECT!)
- Select Connect in the window that opens after the bypass launcher closes itself.
- Click connect fast, otherwise a pop-up comes up.

Hope this helps =P

I'm sorry. It still doesn't work. After following the steps you mentioned, there wasn't any response from the PC :/ Nothing, zilch. T__T;

tried re-installing? might help.

All this is because your Antivirus is deleting the A3Client.exe file. Try to add an exception.

Yes, you can add this as exception.
I am currently using AVG (see below) ,,, other antivirus also allow adding exception
