Yeah.. So i was excited to see that the updater was working again.
But once again my hopes where stuck down by Dos
It downloads the new patcher, But when Command comes up it just stays there.. I left it for 15 minutes, But it just wouldent budge
So i restarted my computer again in hopes that it would work this time, But no go. =( Exact same thing as last time happend

Go into your PS dir and unzip the files in \"updater.zip\" into the folder manually to fix this.
Apparently this problem is caused by the updater trying to update its exe file while it is still running.....or something.
A work-around for the devs would be make another small exe that is run just before the updater closes.(and has finished unzipping the files appended with \"_new\") The small exe waits a few seconds, deletes the old files and renames the new ones to their proper names, then starts up the updater again.
To my knowledge that wouldn\'t take a very big exe, or one very processor intensive. :D
