Title: Death realm problem
Post by: Gentar on November 07, 2005, 12:40:25 am

Everyone has been talking about the new death realm so I updated, and noticed all of the new death real files cominh in. once it was finished, I got on and killed myslef to try it out but found that I spawned over the abyss of the old death realm as if I was supposed to be spawning in the right place over the new one. all i have to say is...WTF?

One of the updater mirrors had a wrong MD5 checksum for this file. It may be possible that the download of 17.1 MB was discarded afterwards.

The beginning will look the same. But when you are near the Carkarass, you will see if it is new!

Title: Same Problem
Post by: Danok on November 07, 2005, 09:35:48 am

I\'ve been having the same problem.  Try to respawn and end up on the \"floor\" of the DR--and some of the landscape seems corrupted.

I checked and sure enough--my \"deathrealm.zip\" file is 15.7 megs, even though I saw my updater download the 17.1 1MB file earlier.  :(

So what\'s the fix?  I updated twice and had the same problem--it must keep using the same mirror.  Is there a way to point the updater to one of the uncorrupted mirror sites?

The correct way to fix the wrong file would be, that the developers upload it again to the mirror sites.

Unfortunately, although they know about it for almost 2 days now, they were not yet able to do so. Therefore, the second-best solution is to edit the updaterconfig.xml manually so that it contains only those mirrors which are working correctly.

I already posted in another thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=20332&boardid=41) which mirrors worked.

To make sure that this issue gets noticed, I created a Bugtracker item for the \"Updater\" topic.
