Basically the problem is this;
The opening graphic starts fine, the game loads...then the sign in screen comes up fine..my information is still there ( I recently moved so was gone for a few weeks) but once I click :ok: I get the " Dun" sound of doom..the screen flickers then goes black save for the yellow arrow.. I get a window saying;
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 077884CC
I had a good game starting to go; does anyone know what exactly is wrong?

Hiya!
Looks like you're going to have to save the dump file and email it to Ary :} Check this (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=22325.0) thread for further detail, and hope it gets taken care of quick.
Can you mentioned when you've updated, and what version of the updater you have now?
-
I tried today on an older version updater..same problem, now with the 1.1.1.1 updater it stops, saying the server is too old for the updater
-
Ah, then the problem is much simpler, and easier to fix :} Find a file called "version.dat" in your main PlaneShift directory, delete it, then run the updater again and things should work.
-
All the servers currently have the same version.dat, so my guess is at some point a weird (newer?) one got up one one server and anyone who updated from that one is getting this issue.
-
I have got emails of people having similar problems. Seems the updater is going a bit crazy for several reasons :-(
However, I have extracted the data from the dump file and it is basically not helping at all :-) I hope somebody that might have similar updater issues will find it useful!
