Hi i can\'t get my updates to work....they get going and they last for awhile then they stop...ITS SO ANNOYING!!!if theres anyother way i can get updates plz tell me OR if you know how to fix this problem(and by the way i have uninstalled and reinstalled like 10 times hoping that would fix it....you\'d think i would think it didn\'t work after the fifth time but....:)
-
Oh and by the way I read the thinger for help on the site and it said there was som updater recover button...so if any1 would be so kind as to tell me where that is maybe that would help AND if they have any other ideas to make it work that would be GREATLY appreacited<---did i spell that right?
-
Try running recovery mode
-
ok i found the recovory mode thinger and i used it so no worries im good now...unless this dowsnt work... <.< >.>
-
Mmmm i try both modes normal and recover still get very slow speed then seems to stop all together.
it taken me 4 days to download 9mb of updates ???
can some one please go to the update server and find out why it being slow and give a offical reason.
i read all throught here people try later i tryed at sorts of times over last 4 days and still the same.
if you want people to play the game then why not fix the update server ???? find strange that no one offical seems to have said anything.
manual download a zip file with updates in fine let me have it if it download faster.
some people may not be playing as they try updateing get no where and delete of there system there goes possable players and if you plan on charging at any point there goes money in the bank.
well thats my rant over hope some offical reads and does something about it
-
Ok ya my updates are still just stopping here and there...and the worst part is they don\'t stop till like the end...so this is crap...so if any1 has any ideas why this should be happeneing it would be awsom if you could post it here or why won\'t they (planeshift people) fix this problem because this isn\'t the only thread about the update problem

I have the same problem, although I havn?t tried the recovery mode. the most it did was 4% in 15 minutes, and then it stopped.
So please do something, this seems like an insanely good game, I want to play it
-
IT IS AN INSANELY GOOD GAME!!! but ya i dont know why the people won\'t take notice of this its a really big issue right now because u can\'t really play without the proper updates so..
-
Would it do anything strange to the game, if I ran both the recover mode and the normal update at the same time?
Then at least there would be a 9% chance of being able to play the game tomorrow.
Or could I even have multiple updaters running at the same time?
-
well actually if u play the game then start up all the updaters the game works...but u need to start the game first cause if u start the updaters first u cant play
-
ok, i?ll try... the worst case scenario is that I?ll have to uninstall and install the game
-
lol...ok ya i tried that more then one updater thinger and it doesn\'t work...but the playing the game and using the update thinger works so.
-
Irritating that it dosn?t work, I thougt it was a good idea.
oh well... allways look at the bright side, I can?t play much the nex 14 days, and it will probably have downloaded about 50% by that time.
but I will try that play and download thing later this evening, if it stops again.
-
I just wanted to pop in here to say that the current problem with the updater is not \"normal\". Up until recently it was working just fine. I know this little tidbit of information is not very comforting to those who can\'t play because of the problem, but please be assured that this is definitely not considered \"OK\" by any means. The issue will be resolved; the only question is exactly how long it will take.
-
If it?s resolved before the autumn holidays, then I?m happy.
-
Autumn!!! IM SO DAM IMPATIENT I CANT WAIT TILL AUTUMN!!!*sigh* i guesss....i might have to hopefully it will be soon because if this problem isn\'t fixed soon then people are gonna drop like flies from this game, i mean all the future players of course but...
-
Have I mixed the English words up again?
Are we not in autumn?
Spring-summer-atumn-winther?
At least here in the Faroe Islands we have atumn holiday pretty soon, somewhere betwheen 10-20 days from now. I?ll have to butcher some sheeps, but theire only 20 so I?ll have plenty of time to play.- that is if it stops stopping
-
lol ok...well...umm.....ya well autumn isn\'t for like another week or so so...
-
oh I?ll try that play download thing now.
this time it stopped at this place art/world/akkaio.zip/cache/thing_lm/770bdce9e5d7df493b65a93aeb5c448a (78.00 KB)
0%....25%.
It had been going for one hour
-
Mines 39% done with registery... on a DSL about 10 minutes running... 2nd attempt at downloading... first attempt came up with a screwy window that closed down... :\\
Hoping ill have better luck with the updater...
-
what i like to is some one from planeshift to give answer of some sort.
i mean there all these Moderators acraig, AendarCallenlasse, CadRipper, Kiern, Kiva, Moogie, Talad, Vengeance, Xordan
but it seem none of them seem to want to say anything about the problem????.
do they want us to play the game ????? or this test of so kind ????
-
Yeah. I have a bad issue also. When I try to run my updates, the program says ERROR twice and gives a list of some plugins that couldn\'t be loaded. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can atleast update?
-
Ya all these problems u guys have have been happening to me cause ive tried this so many times .... the sad thing was that it worked once but it shut down by itself (i didn\'t know i had it on automatic shut down when it was finished) so i uninstalled it :( it reeeeeaaallly sucks lol o well I reeeeaallly hope that these people take notice of this...i even sent them an e-mail but i doubt im going to get a response
-
you may not get a response but they still might be working on it ;)
-
Ok ya i posted a message in some random thread...its in the news section of the main page (it says \"post comments here\") and i got a response saying that they have noticed the problem and they are currently working on the problem.... I just noticed i referred to the makers and helpers of planeshift as \"they\".... I guess they\'re all powerful so they must be referred to as \"they\" and nothing else. :) :) :) Anyway ya but i still want to know when its gonna be fixed....OH!!! and they also said the currently have NO solution to the bug. So this might take awhile... But if you still wanna blow off some steam about this bug then post it here... And if u have any suggestions on how to fix this.
-
-->this is supposed to be added to the reply above this
Oh i don\'t mean on how to fix this but if you have any ideas you\'d like to share that might help people get these updates post it here...BUT if u by chance do know how to fix it im pretty sure no1 will mind :)
-
I have been playing PS fine and then they said there was a new update so i did that and now it is stuffed, and i am annoyed
-
Well apparently i got in before the \"breaking\" because mine updated just fine...
anywho the reason why people arent paying attention to most updater threads is because there are like a million per one bug... there are like 5 things wrong with the updater and like 1,000,000 posts... that is why i suggested a sticky in one of the other threads... so people wont post new threads of the same thing... no matter though each is a tad different i guess...
-
well mine updated alright, just took about 2 or 3 hours
-
WELL THEN WHY DOES MINE SUCK ASS!!!damit *grumbles off in the corner* FINE!!! jease its MY LUCK!!! ok...ill try the updater AGAIN tomorrow and if it doesn\'t work then screw planeshift i just wont play it.....untill they fix the updater :)
-
It works now... I guess you can come out of your corner now, it only took me 45 minutes
-
HELL YES!!! I\'m going to do IT NOW!!!*does a little jig*...what a funny word...jig...HA!!! ok well ill do it now thanks to all the people who have posted things here hoping to help...WELL YOU DIDNT!!! :) jk so ill meet u on planeshift :)

it takes less then 5 minutes to upload the updates to a mirror in zip format, and it takes a few hours to download 27mb thru the updater, maybe you should consider a mirror in the future and scrap that updatercrap.
and im on a 100mbit connection, its pathetic
