Update 3: From my checking everything seems to resolve again. If you still have problems, I suggest temporarily switching to Google DNS. For the crazy people, I've added a (nearly) complete list below.
Update 2: The problem seems to (mostly) be resolved! Make sure to remove or comment out the entries in your hosts file to prevent possible issues.
Update: Someone from Red 5 Studios just confirmed that they are aware of the problem. Can only be a matter of time now.
It looks like Firefall is currently experiencing some DNS issues. Their domains such as firefall.com can't be resolved to the required IPs. So far we have not heard from anyone inside Red 5 Studios whether they are working on a fix or not. In the meantime you can apply the follow fix to at least get into the game. There are no guarantees that everything works or that things will keep working. It's a temporary fix!
- Press the Windows key, then type in
notepad
and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. This will launch the Notepad with elevated privileges. - If UAC is active, you'll need to agree to the popup.
- In the Notepad menu pick "Open..." and enter the following:
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Now add the following lines to the end of the file, then save and start playing.
- Make sure you didn't save the hosts file as
hosts.txt
