There has been an update to the client as of yesterday (07:23), so you can use the linked unofficial (and unrelated to the PS team) updater to fix the broken one. Just remember that if you do use the linked updater I\'m not liable for any negative results (I gotta say that for legal reasons ). The alternative is to wait for an update to download from the main site and DL the whole thing again.

Or you could just use the whole --auto option.

Reinstalling won\'t help because you\'ll have to update to be able to connect on the server and once you\'ve updated you\'ll have the latest version of the updater and such which is the one you currently have, so it\'ll start crashing all over again. (I believe.)

Instead, you should probably just try executing updater.exe --auto to update until it\'s fixed.

That is, right click on the Updater shortcut in start menu, select properties, and append \' --auto\' to the target box, while preserving the original contents. (Note the space before --auto.)

The updater should now work.

(Oh, and the normal updater crashes me. Only the --auto one will work.)

Dolphy, have you tried opening a command prompt (Start->Run->CMD on XP/2K or Start->Run->Command on 9x/ME), cd\'ing to the planeshift directory and typing psclient? That should execute the psclient but the DOS window should stay around so you can read it.

No offense, but this is more open-Alpha, rather than open-Beta, considering the stability.
