I just downloaded the game, and i went throught he whole updater being down thing, and now the GM\'s mention the game is back up, so I started the updater, and it worked accept for the fact that it just keeps updating the updater to a new build... and nothing else has happened for an hour...... just the same thing over and over
\"Download regestry\"
\"update regestry\"
\"server has another updater, going to fetch it...\"
\"updating updater to another build\"
and that is all I have gotten for an hour, because the thing keeps reseting... updating files... reseting... updating files... well this ever end?
-
everything\'s working on my end so maybe it\'s your cpu
-
Try quitting and restarting the updater.
-
I tried doing everything you guys mentions, I restarted the updater... no luck, I uninstalled/reinstalled... no luck... I\'t just does the same thing over and over, this is what the update folder says

I have absolutely no idea what this means.... someone please help me out here

someone please help me with this, anyone. This is all very frustrating, and no matter what I do, nothing helps!!!! Please, I need some advice, im bad with computers!

The updater does not work. alot of us including me, have this problem, i downloaded the game over a week ago and still can not play. Karosh is working on building a new updater for download and that should fix it. The new DLe should be done any time now. so stopp complaning and sit back and relax...............read a book or somthing
-
Hi,
I had the same problem and solved it ;)
You have to copy all files from \"updatertemp\" (you will find this folder in your planeshift folder) into your mainfolder of planeshift (overwrite all files). and now run your updater again. This time it should work normally.
Nice playing :D
-
Nice!! Thanks!!
-
I did what you told me, but now whenever I click on the updater, it gives the the \"illegal program\" thing, why is this not working for me???
-
I did it too and nothing happend :(
Please tell me what i did wrong.
-
I just copied everything from updatertemp into the parent directory and everything seems to be working fine. It\'s updating aswe speak I will keep you posted on how it goes after that.
-
i have done that before and iget an error too, you will have to wait until Karosh finishes the new updater and then you can download it, he said it will most likly be done today!!!!!!!
-
alright.. here\'s my situation:
my updater won\'t run.. i open it and it gives me the windows message that it has to close etc.. ive read all of the posts and it seems like a lot of people had this problem, but today it seems like most people\'s updaters are fine.
also... the game itself will not run.. i try to run it and it says there was an error with exception code: c0000005
then it closes. let me know if there is a fix and if not, i have no problem waiting for one. i just want to make sure im not missing anything. thanks a lot
-
for some people the updaters now work, im not sure why, but there are a few unluckies like me who still cant update. i would uninstall the game, BUT KEEP THE ORIGINAL INSTALLER, and see if that helps, the download from Karosh should fix the updater, but i dont know about the actuall game client.
-
nothing i\'ve tried has helped any. All of your suggestions might of helped other people but not me. So far, everything has failed and I see no hope of ever being able to play this game
-
OK, the first thing you do when Windoze or Windoze programs don\'t work properly is: reboot and see if the problems go away. This sadly still applies for WXP. Microsoft just is incapable of producing decent software.
If rebooting doesn\'t solve the issue, it\'s most likely the program.
You are not, by any chance, running W9x or WME? If yes, look for the file \"updater.zip\" in either the PS folder or in the \"updatertemp\" folder. Unzip this to the main PS folder and run the updater. Copying the files from \"updatertmp\" will only work with some versions of the updater, as some back-up the old files to that folder, and some unpack \"updater.zip\" there, so you might just be copying the old files back onto themselves. The safe way is unzipping \"updater.zip\".
Edit: there is a patched updater:
http://planeshift.zarevak.net/updater.zip
Download and unzip into your main PS folder, but back up \"updater.exe\" before doing so, in case it doesn\'t work!
BEWARE! This is made available not by me nor by the PS team, so the integrity of this file isn\'t warranted by any means (it was OK by the time I used it, but this may very well have changed, so scan the file for malware before using it!).
Also, it was created to solve a different problem, and some time ago, so it might not work anymore.
You can try this, as it might be that your version of the updater is buggy. Note that with this version, you may run into similar problems in W9X or WME, so be sure to read this thread:
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=12936&boardid=33&styleid=3
Another edit:
If you manage to successfully update the updater, you may run into another problem, which is solved by running the updater in auto mode, as described here:
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/board.php?boardid=33
-
TO COMPLICATED!!! im not a computer wiz, I don\'t understand any of that
-
In that case, I\'m sorry. PS is in a very early development stage (pre-alpha), and isn\'t meant for the general public, but for people who are at least somewhat tech-savy and / or willing to learn. Problems are expected to arise, and the users are expected to help solving them, not to let themselves be guided step by step. Therefore, nobody is going to spoon-feed you (at least I am not).
-
So no body has found out whats wrong... No matter what I do I get this problem, it still hasn\'t gone away, i\'ve gone and reinstalled over 3 times in false hope that it would work, but there was no success. I\'ve been anxious to play this game for about a week now, but none of the suggestions made here have helped. Is there nothing else I can do? Is all hope to play this game lost for me?
-
I guess that i\'ve located the real problem if it helps any, everytime the updater restarts, in the updater log folder, the one fatal thing that I find says this
Couldn\'t delete temporary repository zip (updatertemp/repos.zip)
I have no idea what this is though... does anyone know what it is?
-
The updater is broken ATM, and I don\'t know when it will be fixed.
The repos.zip message has been there for a long time, at least for me, but wasn\'t impeding the updater\'s work in any way, so it\'s likely not the problem.
Therefore, just wait for an official or semi-official announcement on the updater working again. Keep the PS installer in case the updater cannot be used to download the working version, so that you can re-install if you can\'t manually replace the files.
Oh, and edit your posts instead of double-posting.
-
ok, here\'s another clue. When i tried opening the file Planeshift main server.zip my winrar could not open it because it was unknown or damaged. as well as localhost.zip and updater.zip
although repos.zip opened just fine.
hope this helps to solve this problem.
-
so im guessing there are still MANY unlucky people that are not able to play the game... I really hope they fix this thing soon...
-
Hi Uber,
Have you tried uninstalling PS, getting rid of all the files (Zip included), then re-installing?
I know you\'re very frustrated by now; but I & several RL friends (Spouse included) did this & now PS is purring for all.
It may sound like a hassle to download it all over again.
But seriously, could it be any more of a hassle than what you\'re already going through?
The Updater works just fine for all of us, now that we\'ve downloaded PS once again.
Hope this helps, & hope you get ingame soon.
-
If you\'re unable / unwilling to follow the instructions, then it will be your only option to uninstall and reinstall PS. Don\'t delete the installer, because due to PS\'s very early development state things will break again and again. It is by far not an \"install and play\" game, and as such isn\'t intended for the usual gamer.
@ Geode: I don\'t know of any file named \"localhost.zip\" or \"server.zip\". Are you sure that you actually tried to open zip files, not XML files (there is a file called \"servers.xml\") or executables?
Just so that everyone knows: the detailed instructions given have so far worked flawlessly for me, and they fixed any and all problems I ever encountered with the updater since they were first posted. The only twist is that ATM, the updater only works with the \"-auto\" switch, but I suggested using that anyway.
-
I gurantee that I have tried everything suggested, and that the --auto did not work at all, it merely started the whole course over again. I tried reinstall... no luck, the same thing, so I guess my problem is different from everyone elses, so don\'t tell me that I don\'t know what im talking about, because I have tried all suggested by everyone. Ive searched many other forums, but nothing they recomend will work. Sorry if im annoying you guys, but its all very frustrating.

However, you stated that it is too complicated for you, so how am I going to know that? And even if, how are you going to know if you did it properly?
Anyway, it might be the case that you have gotten a totally broken updater version that I missed due to my long pauses between actually updating. Therefore, your options are:
1) use the patched updater that I mentioned earlier. The patch is for fixing something else, but it will give you the current updater which works.
2) remove and reinstall PS and update from that, as the original updater does work.
Oh, and there also is an alternative updater created by Cha0s IIRC floating around in some thread, you might find it (\"Java updater\" or something like that might be appropriate search terms). Sicne I haven\'t even downloaded it, I can\'t say anything ybout it\'s usefulness, however, except giving the usual common-sense warnings that apply to binary software that comes from random places.
Good luck.
-
Doodzor.. Largo, you aren\'t listening.
Those problems are fixed by extracting the updatertemp file into the parent directory.
After that run the updater.
Then enjoy \"t3h 1337 ph34r n1nja sk1llz0rs\" of playing.
-
d00d ive tried that already...
I get a very un-l33t illegal explorer message, the problem is not solved
My l33t haxor skills just aren\'t enough for this l33t of a game
-

assuming you\'re getting an illegal operation message. that one is solved by the \"--auto\" trick.

i got this error when i went to run updater \"UPDATER caused an invalid page fault in

-
It has been said so many times, and I will say it once more: the -auto switch is currrently the only way to get the updater to not crash.
Edit: Kaseijins post on your thread wasn\'t an invitation to post here, but to READ here!
-
first of all its 1337 not l33t
secondly as several people have already mentioned using the
--auto trick is what you need to do...(search the forums)
now advice
make sure theres a space in front of --auto or it wont work...
hope this solves your problem
regards
-tarach
*Edit: as to the post below...in the NEW 1337 speak it is 1337 and if your just screwing around this really is what you should use...l33t is the original what the old school hackers used to communicate without getting caught respect the past and dont make jokes with the actual thing...(im not usually like this but 1337 speak in general annoys the crap out of me especially if people arent using it for a pupose)
-
ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING?!?! I have used the --auto thing about 50 times, everytime its the same thing. The automatic starts up and loads to onehundred, once it has done that, it goes to the official updater and the process starts over again. If you don\'t know what im talking about, read the first post. I get the error message when i try to copy the files from the updatertemp into the parent directory. So please, try and keep up
-
just go ask largo-sensei he can use his \"cool thing\" to fix it :D i personly would rather play with the new sony ps2 accessory personaly *lecher face* ;)
ph34 t3h 3vil... ph34r my l33t n3kkid skillz.. ph34r my lack of b33r!
other then that i have no clue about your problem.. i just like mega tokyo XD
-
ugh.... sorry guys... im such an idiot... makes me wonder if I can even think for myself sometimes. Sorry for over reacting, ive fixed my problem. First you have to copy all the files from the updatertemp into the parent directory, then do the --auto. Something so simple confused the hell out of me. Sorry for being a jack ass, see you in game. Flame the hell out of me if you like for being so stupid...
-
Tarachnul you are greatly misinformed about the l33t, if you knew anything about it you would know that the number one, stoof for the letter \"l\" and that the letter \"t\" could be replaced for the number seven. So it can be pronounced either way. in fact the official correct spelling is leet, which stands for elite, hence the term \"f34r my l33t skillz\"
Now I don\'t talk like this often, but at least I know what what all the other people that talk in l33t are saying.
Man... it\'s like learning another language
-
ubermonkeyspoon: Do not abuse the Report feature. And quit with the \"l33t\", it makes you look stupid.
-
i didn\'t mean to press the report button, i wasn\'t paying attention when I pressed it. My bad, im sorry. And as for my \"l33t skillz\" i believe that is something i have the right to practice, is it not?
-
maybe you have the right.... but it doesn\'t change the fact that i find it terribly annoying...not to mention pointless. However you have your right...i have mine.
-
I never said its not annoying, im just kidding. But a bit off topic, should I make a \"how to\" topic for the people having the same problem as me?
-
thank you for all ur help
-
ok heres what you do.
1. go to your planeshift crystal blue folder.
2. inside there you will find a folder that says updatertemp. go into that folder.
3. click on an empty space in the bottom left of your folder( white part) then hold and hightlight all of yor files in that folder.
4. right click and select copy.
5. go back to your planeshift folder. right click and select paste. a screen should come up. select \"yes to all\".
6. now click on the start icon and select run.
7.use browse to find your updater.exe file.
8. put in a space then --auto. if you put your planeshift folder into program files your run url thing should read something like this. \"\"C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\updater.exe\" --auto\".
9.it will take a while to update.
NOTE!!!!! this is for windows users only!
