Troubleshooting Steps When You Can’t Access LOTRO
If our server status check indicates that LOTRO is UP, but you are still unable to access the game or website, the problem might be on your end. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to resolve access issues:
1. Browser-Related Problems
- Force Refresh: Perform a hard refresh of the website in your browser. Press Ctrl + F5 simultaneously (or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac) to bypass the cache and load the latest version of the page.
- Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Outdated cached files and cookies can sometimes interfere with website access. Clear your browser’s temporary cache and cookies to ensure you are accessing the most current version of the site. Instructions vary depending on your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.).
2. DNS Resolution Issues
Domain Name System (DNS) translates website names (like lotro.com) into numerical IP addresses that computers use to connect. Problems with your DNS can prevent you from accessing websites even if they are online.
-
Flush Local DNS Cache: Your computer stores a local DNS cache which may contain outdated information. Flushing this cache forces your system to retrieve fresh DNS information.
- For Windows: Open Command Prompt (search for “cmd” in the Start Menu), type
ipconfig /flushdns, and press Enter. - For macOS: Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal), type
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder; say DNS cache flushed, and press Enter (you’ll be prompted for your administrator password).
- For Windows: Open Command Prompt (search for “cmd” in the Start Menu), type
-
Use Alternative DNS Servers: By default, you typically use DNS servers provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Switching to alternative, public DNS services can sometimes improve connection reliability and speed. Popular free options include:
- OpenDNS: https://use.opendns.com/
- Google Public DNS: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Refer to online guides for detailed instructions on how to change your DNS settings on your operating system and router.
