Hi. I found this game through Wikipedia, and wanted to try it. Much like other people, the updater/setup/client does not work for me.
I downloaded the game twice: the first time as a Torrent to save on bandwith, (which I assumed was corrupted when it would not run), and a second time direct from your site. I tried everything here that is listed on your forums (patched updater, config="True", replacing .xml with file provided, etc), to no avail. I spent a lot of time on this, before and after finding the forums. Which is where I found out that this problem is known but has not yet been fixed.
I understand this is a Beta release. But could there not be something written on the downloads page to new users saying that the game client/updater currently won't work for them, and to check back later? Again, I realize this is both a Beta and F2P, but at the same time it is unfair that I had to spend so much of my time on something that is known to have problems. There should at the least being a note warning new users that they may download the game, but will have to wait for a new Updater to be written before being able to use it.
Peace, Cobalt.
PS: I would have been fine with downloading the 4.0 version, had it been available in the downloads section.
Edit: I am running WinXP.

"true" is supposed to be case sensitive I believe; if you're capitalizing it then that's wrong.

I don't remember if I had "True" or "true", because when that failed I copied the newer version of updaterinfo.xml (offered on site). I tried what you said and changed the original to lower case, but it still didn't work. Thank you for the tip, though. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Peace.
