Title: Fix for the "repeating, never ending" updater.
Post by: ubermonkeyspoon on February 18, 2005, 03:32:57 am
1.once you have planeshift installed and you have this problem, please read this thread.
2.Once you have it installed, and you notice the problem, the first thing you need to do is run the updater a few times to actually get the updater.temp file, it should be in your parent directory.
3.Once your in the updater.temp folder, simple press, in this order
ctrl a
ctrl c
then press back, to get back to the parent directory and press
ctrl v
4. After this, when you try to run the updater, you should get an the \"illegal operation\" warning. For some, your updater may work after just doing this, but for some it requires the --auto trick
5.After you have copied the updater.temp files go to your start menu, programs, planshift, then RIGHT click on planeshift updater. Then go down to the bottom and open the properties menu.
6. at the top you should see something that says Target: then there is a text box, in the text box you should see something similar to this
\"C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\updater.exe\"
but it depends where/which file you saved it in.
7.Next simple copy and past a  --auto at the end of the target box.
8. Make sure there is a space between the other stuff and the --auto, this is crucial
9.Run the updater, it takes a while to update, sit back, relax enjoy, eat a pie, drink some lemonade bla bla bla and wait.
10. have fun playing Planeshift, I hope to see you in game

And this has been my easy to follow guide for people that don\'t know crap about computers. I hope this helps everyone! Please, don\'t complain like I did, I still regret that, if your still having problems, ask an official dev to help you out. Heres hoping this works for you guys having the same problems I was.
