I'm sorry if I'm repeating a question that's already been asked. I scanned the boards and could'nt find an appropriate answer.
I found and downloaded the game for the very 1st time tonight.
I am on what seems to be the latest version... 0.3.015
The install was perfect. The registration was perfect.
The problem is when I hit "Ok" to continue at the log-in screen, I get the message "You are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server."
I even downloaded some type of .dll patch from a previous post in here (that had similar-ish problems).
Help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
*edit*
This is what I found from the lower post and it didnt work...
"After the last update we faced a very bad bug. Basically all newly created chars had the ability to train at no cost. This resulted in people with 150 in sword after 20 minutes of play.
Today we deleted all characters created after 2006-07-04 (yyyy-mm-dd) to fix that issue. Sorry but was necessary to be fair with other older chars.
WINDOWS:
At the moment the updater is not working properly, so get this file to update your 015 clients to latest server release. Just unzip in your ps dir and then run the client.
LINUX and MAC:
We are building a new patch for you. Just be patient."

Having the same type of problem... *commiserates*
-
i cant even find my PS directory and if i did it would take me alllllllll damn day
-
Use Search and look for psclient.exe and see the directory it's in, thats where you installed it.
-
Finding the directory's the easy part
Start
Search
PlaneShift Crystal Blue
-
Not necessarily Planeshift Crystal Blue. He could have named the dir differently. Just do a search on psclient.exe and see the dir its in.
-
true, on the search for the psclient.exe.
did anyone else install the 015 patch and still get the 'not running correct' error?

Well phooey. Just sounds like there's some issues right now. I was looking forward to checking it out. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks ;-)

the patch has the client up and connecting to the server. but the server is unstable right now :)
All will be fine , Good things come to those that wait.

yeah i get the same thing
i downloaded the patch but I couldn't delete the older dll files to install the new ones. It needed a password to be entered. I am sure i could do it somehow because I am the admin login on this computer but it's running XP and I've never used it. XP sucks big time it's really crap.
And trying to get the planeshift thing working is really crapping me off.

:offtopic: its way to hard to wait when you play alllllll the TIME

The older version was leaving psclient processes running on your machine. Just open task manager and stoip those, or just reboot your machine and then unzip the file.
-
unzip the patch that Talad has put here in you Planeshift directory. and it should work perfectly. http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24395.0

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, since it's really the same problem alot of people here seem to be having. I'm really hoping someone can help me with this.
I downloaded the patch, and still get the notice when I try to log on that I am not running the correct version for the server.
I have:
Checked to see that psclient.exe is not running in the background.
Downloaded and unzipped the patch to my Planeshift folder.
Uninstalled Planeshift, then reinstalled Planeshift and the patch after restarting my computer.
Not run the updater (Do I need to run it, or is the warning not to run the updater still in effect?)
I am not having the password problem that some people seem to be having.
I tihink I've done everything we've been advised to try, and I'm still gettnig the "incorrect version" message.
I don't think I've missed anything, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can try?
Thanks in advance.

@Shangreloo
It seems you have done everything right.
There are only 2 things i might suggest.
1. Make sure you have uninstalled everything corectly.
Use the uninstaller, then delete the folder completly, then reboot and install, then apply the patch.
2. use the search to see if by chances you have installed a copy in a different location.
I have always used a seperate folder for my games, but for some reason this patch dosent like to be anywhere else than the default folder.
oh and 3. if you use a desktop icon, right click on it, select properties, check the target folder and make sure it is using the proper "psclient.exe"
other than that i have no clue ???
Hope this helps :)

hold on one sec im not to good with computers i guess because i have no clue how to unzip stuff
-
If you have WinZip installed (and you should, by default), then just open the patch .zip and you will see a list of files in a window. Select all those files, and then drag them into your main PS folder.
