Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: January 20, 2005, 10:48:40 pm »
This updater is very...intimidating. With every new version my first thought is: \"oh no...fighting the updater...again!\" something should be done about this...
By unzipping the updater.zip managed to update from 1.0.2.2 to 1.0.2.3 but my happieness didn\'t last long ...today another version came out. The updater, as usual, wanted to do something in the background and obviously didn\'t do it. This time unzipping the updater.zip didn\'t work...I\'ve tried copying the updater temp folder into the main PS folder, but that only resulted in repeating the 1.0.2.3 update ( ...I think - it\'s still running, but it sure looks that way).
Anybody got any other ideas how to solve this?
I think making a manual update possible (download a file...unpack...done)would be a blessing.
PS. What I\'m really interested in is: who\'s idea was it to make the updater do ANYTHING in the background where the user can\'t see it? At least I wouldn\'t wait for half an hour wondering if it\'s dead or still working....
EDIT: Copying the files from the updater temporary folder into the main one WORKED LIKE A CHARM after all. Phew... Devs...please make a working version of the updater for once
