Fix for the v0.37 "unable to connect" launcher bug.

This is a backup of the thread I made in the official forums (in case they get replaced).

For those having issues installing the game
I believe I may have found a possible fix for the error message that shows up when trying to patch/update the v0.37 client, which says:
"Can not connect the update server, please your network connections and whether be allowed to visit the FTP server, if you confirm your network is ok, please click the set button manually to select another server to update!"
I just tested it on a clean installation and it worked.

Steps:
1) Browse to your AoA Folder
2) Open the PatchBase.ini file with notepad or any text editor
3) Delete everything inside it
4) Copy and paste these following lines into your empty PatchBase.ini file:

[info]
title = AOA
version = 0.1
webpage=http://aoa.us.woniu.com/aoa.html
ClientSrv=http://aoa.us.woniu.com
PlayerPub=http://bbs.us.woniu.com
CountApply=http://member.us.woniu.com
Fee=
retrytimes£½5
GameInfo=AOA Open Beta Test #1.0.
regtabid=AOA

[ftp]
num = 2

name0 = AOA Open Beta Test Server
server0 = 64.62.148.219
port0 = 9021
versionserver0 = 64.62.148.219
versionport0 = 9121
downtype0=ftp

name1 = AOA Open Beta Test Server
server1 = 64.62.148.219
port1 = 9021
versionserver1 = 64.62.148.219
versionport1 = 9121
downtype1=ftp

5) Save the changes and close notepad or your text editor
6) Run the game.

i don't get what u mean in step 2 about patchbase.ini file with notepad or any text editor

That .ini file can be opened with any text editor, such as Notepad, Wordpad, Microsoft Office's Word, Open Office's Writer, etc.
If you are running Windows, you most likely have the first 2 already installed. You can just double click on the file and it should open by default in Notepad, or it will show you a pop up with a list of programs you can choose from, Notepad or Wordpad should show up there.

If for some reason you can't get those steps to work, you can also use the file I uploaded to the official forums, which is linked above near the beginning of the page.
