Honestly, no specifics yet it would be assumed something is being installed engine-wise.

Any updates on the SkyLab problem? It's been down an awfully long time; some of us are having PS withdrawal.

It is back up, check on IRC for help if you have issues joining or try edit psdir/data/servers.xml ; replace skylabhost.it wiht skylabhost.eu

NEW SERVER

DO NOT UPDATE until you are told in IRC channel #planeshift on FreeNode that it is safe to do so!

[Roled]

For those of us.... (um  just you Roled, just you... ) who are so technically challenged , and now willing to admit it...

Would you please explain again, step by step, how to:

1) get to the IRC (... LigH mutters,... stupid Americans...) 
and
2) if you need to change the servers.xml thing, and you're a stupid American with Windows Vista, and you tried searching but couldn't find the file in Vista search, and then you found the file in Planeshift (x86)/data (19)/servers.xml and you thought you opened it oh maybe 2 dozen times with notepad and/or with xml editor ('cause those are the choices the drop down menu in Vista offers) and you changed it from .it to .eu,  and you tried to save it but it keeps saying "You cannot save this C:/PlaneShift/data/servers.xml " because "That file does not exist make sure your pathway is correct", and you stayed up til 2:30 am your time because your so addicted to this game and then you gave up... what do we  (ummm... just you, Roled, just you...) do next?

Someone with an x86_46 Windows make a screenshot of the windows explorer showing that file (and the path in the address bar, of course)

how exactly do I just ....'update'...        {and please don't says 'with the updater' 'cause I haven't been able to find the updater for months now  }

From the Start menu, choose "All Programs" then "Accessories" then "Command Prompt."

In that window, enter "c:\program files\planeshift\pslaunch --console --repair"

Be very very scared that you're getting tech support from Sluuph.
