Welcome to PlaneShift! This game is in development, and is currently at version 0.3 - it's a tech demo in progress :}

Have you installed the patch (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24395.0) successfully, and then ran the game updater?

You're going to have to tell me what you did :} Did you successfully extract the files within the patch.zip and place them within your main PlaneShift directory, clicking Yes on the overwrite prompt? Did you then run the PlaneShift updater?

Come to think of it, what operating system are you running?

Please avoid double-posting.

If you want things to work correctly, you have to follow instructions. The patch is necessary - please download the .zip, and put the files within the .zip into your main PlaneShift directory, which in most cases is C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue.

You may want to reboot your computer first, just to make sure that you have no hidden PS processes running that may prevent you from installing the patch correctly.

so... ok youre advise is to download the patch and put in in the zip? that means C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue? but do i need to reebot my computer b4 instaling patch or later?
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: Karyuu on July 22, 2006, 11:08:04 pm
You have to open the .zip file with a utility like WinZip or Winrar or similar, and there will be a list of files inside - those files have to be taken out of the .zip and put into the PlaneShift Crystal Blue folder. You will get a prompt to overwrite files that are already inside the PlaneShift folder, and be sure to click on Yes.

Then please take a look at this (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24451.0) thread. We cannot provide basic computer tech support, so unfortunately that is the extent of how much we can explain to you.

If this is still too much, one of our community members has uploaded the entire fully updated copy of PlaneShift - you can learn more here (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24529.msg271903#msg271903).

ok thank you very much i will check what i can do but do you think i should erase and start over again?
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: Karyuu on July 22, 2006, 11:15:00 pm
That would be a good idea :} Reboot, uninstall completely, and try the version Neko has uploaded.

Please note we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties and we are working hard to resolve all issues! The following server is not working and is in the process of being fixed: dl025.

Seems they're having tech difficulties.

Nilrem, the file seems to be hosted on dl020.

Regardless, if there are problems with this host - please try again to put the files that were inside the .zip patch into your main PlaneShift directory. If you need further help on how to work with .zip files, you're going to have to use Google :}

*nod*

But I tried to download myself, and couldn't.
So perhaps they've more servers affected, or have an issue affecting not only one server specifically.

Post by: andrew2 on July 22, 2006, 11:48:17 pm
ok just explain to me in one shot

do i need to wait maybe a other week to do this man?
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: Karyuu on July 22, 2006, 11:51:33 pm
I don't see why. Can you explain what problems you are having with the patch .zip? Did you manage to open it, and can you put the files that were inside into your PS directory? This seems a rather basic step, so if something is going wrong here I'll need a description of the problem.
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: andrew2 on July 22, 2006, 11:53:46 pm
 look u know hwat? i will just do it manualy with the patch stuff just karyuu tell me what i will do  to make it work  in the easiest way for noobs ok?
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: Karyuu on July 22, 2006, 11:56:29 pm
I have already explained, and several times. I think it's time for you to give me an explanation of what specifically you do not understand.

*edit*

Oh gods, thank you Nilrem :}
Title: Re: server not updated
Post by: Nilrem on July 22, 2006, 11:56:51 pm
One... shot. (maybe more)

1) You've installed the game already. Good.

2) You've a folder on your hard disk named "planeshift crystal blue" usually located in c:\program files\planeshift crystal blue . Good.

3) Navigate to that folder and have it opened. That is you should see art, data... and lots of other folders. Keep the "planeshift crystal blue" folder at sight.

4) You've downloaded this file http://66.111.255.12/~psmirror/015patch.zip somewhere on your hard drive. Good

5) Double click on that file (015patch.zip)

6) Select all files inside that archive, drag them and drop just inside the planeshift crystal blue folder that you had opened since point 3

7) Windows will ask if you want to overwrite the files. Say "yes".

8 ) No error messages should come out, neither in this process, nor in the game installation process.

9) At this point, you'd already be able to launch the game... but

10) Let's run updater program to have some fun.

11) It should have updated a couple of art thingies...

12) Launch the game. Try to enjoy.

wow...  :detective: 12 bullets.
