Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: need help with md5sum please
« on: August 31, 2008, 03:24:02 am »
I feel really thick now... I should have tried deleting the openAL32.dll file, it appears to have fixed everything.

The md5sum error is gone and after the update is finished the client loads. Well now I'm happy so thanks Mord, and thanks anyway Caarrie, without you the updater part wouldn't have worked.

I have searched. I've spent about 3 hours searching. I've only found errors where the openal32 file is missing, which isn't the case for me. I'll continue looking anyway.

I've done everything I've read for teh updater so I'm presuming that it is fixed.

Edit: Ideally I shouldn't have even mentioned my problems unless in a new thread, and I only just realised that anyway. But I don't normally post on a forum because I don't register on a forum unless I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I've been working on this issue for several hours before I even signed up, including following your links and reading every solution I can find. Its getting terribly repettive as I have followed all instructions offered to other people that I have found, and none have fixed it. So yeh, just ignore any comments I made, I'm just gunna continue my search later see if I can find anything that helps me.

mine reached about 25% dled and then stopped for the same reason as before...

I don't doubt Caarrie has been doing a good job, its just that for every problem related to the updater, they describe their problem then are given the same link regardless of the exact problem and whether or not the link helps, which for most people it sounds like it doesn't.

 I'd be perfectly happy and have nothing to say if it worked, but i came to play this game in 2004 and gave up then cos i couldn't get it to work for whatever reason, and its irritating that i come back 4 years later to find a new problem preventing me playing. (though this time i am really trying to be patient.)

Edit: So I'm guessing teh updater is working because caarrie says that the md5sum is not an issue, when the updater has finished running, it creates an empty zipped file called win32-0.4.01.zip

the updater says


PlaneShift Updater Version 1.00 for win32.

Checking for updates:
Checking for updates to the updater: No updates needed!
Checking for updates to all files: Updates Available!

Downloading update file..
md5sum of client zip does not match correct md5sum!!
Couldn't read file /this/updaterinfo.xml.bak!
Failed to remove file /this/updaterinfo.xml.bak
Update finished!

Updater finished, press enter to exit.


but when i try run the client it comes up with this error

psclient.exe - Bad Image

The application or DLL D:\Program Files\Planeshift Steel Blue\OpenAL32.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

If this problem has been mentioned elsewhere, I'm sorry I couldn't find it, I've spent the past 2 hours looking for a solution.

I think you just saved me from deleting this game scuzzle. I was going to post on the forums anyway soon but i wasn't expecting much help as Caarrie has the same reply for every single problem it seems (Which is absolutely no help whatsoever)

i just don't know whether this updater will fix my problem of the openal32 not being a windows image error that I get when i try to start the client. just waiting for the update to complete as for the first time, its actually updating something other than itself.
