Title: Updater never finishes updating?
Post by: Terra111 on May 12, 2003, 07:42:32 pm

Ok so this is getting pretty annoying.

I found the updater.exe in the game folder, so i thought \'\'yay i can play now, the problem will be fixed.\'\'
But nooooooooo. The updater always stops downloading at about 2% of the \'\'psadmin.dll\'\' file. The Psclient.exe is also to be downloaded.

Help? :(

Try at another time of day, may be the server is in trouble... If it persists, then we have a real problem...

So far, you are the only one who got this problem... So I am wondering if the problem comes from your connection or outdated system DLLs... If not then, I really what is happening there.
You should ask around if people got the same problem to update Planeshift.

Wait....What about email? Can the game work if someone simply sends me the files via email?

Well you aren\'t that far from France (where I live), I doubt it could be the problem...

Are you using a proxy ?

Yes i am. Can i guess your answer? \'\'Then that is the problem.\'\'

hehe....

Well did you enter your proxy informations in updaterconfig.xml ?

here is the dump of the file:

Code: [Select]



    [URL]http://www.planeshift.it/updater/repository.xml[/URL]
    [URL]http://www.planeshift.it/updater/files[/URL]
   
        0
        [URL]http://myproxy:3128/[/URL]
        0
   
   
        data
   



You should put your proxy there... and don\'t forget to put active=1 instead of 0.

What do you mean by \'\'Put your proxy there.\'\'? What am i supposed to copy in there? Sorry but im not a proxy expert :(

Post by: Atanor on May 13, 2003, 11:14:09 pm

You don\'t see where to put the proxy name ? Look better, at the line \'host\'

Title:
Post by: Terra111 on May 13, 2003, 11:16:35 pm

Nooo, i mean, that WHAT should i insert there? The IP of the proxy? The name of it? Something else?

you just have to edit those lines... put \'1\' for \'active\'

and your proxy server for \'host\'

okay, I think the problem is coming is coming from your connection or your OS.

I don\'t what could be problem, and no one seems to have the same problem. There could be billions of reasons ( thx Windows )

Sorry but i can\'t help you much.

The best solution is to ask someone to give his version of missing DLLs...
