Beware the repair button!!

[Earowo]

i doubt anybodies said anything bout THIS, but..
i hit the repair button earlier today..
since i was crashing a lot
to check, ya know normaly stuff..
and when i did it said some files needed replaced so i said ok
and it downloaded the entire V0.4.03
i dont even know why :\
i undownloaded it and reinstalled 0.5.1
but this is just a heads up ^.^

you're right!
same thing happened to me yesterday!
i had lots of crashes and i saw a "there's a new version of planeshift" when opening the psluanch (i had already updated but it still kept appearing) and when i pressed 'yes' the client crashed so i used the repair
now i need to re download the 5.1!
(
PLZ fix this !!

joining a channel and ducking out immediately doesn't help you

you never use repair as a solution for crashes of the update procedure: you've to use console as explained on the left when it happens anyway the problem can't be fixed it's because you have old files in your path do you see the updaterinfo.xml? that's the issue you need one with the proper mirror while the one you've has psmirror which afaik hosts 0.4. so:
1) get a full installer and remove 0.4 before update (it's suggested)
2) do pslaunch --console --switch http://testing.xordan.com, then --repair (it sh) ould be triggered in auto usuallyand you should be fine from now on
3) grab an updaterinfo from a freshly installed version, maybe the svn one can work too but i can't assure you
4) remove updaterinfo.xml and let it download a new one (but this is valid before you downgrade)

i didn't think that anyone would be on at that time  
i'll try to do what you said later today
 thanks for the help  

ps: by the way where can i get the updaterinfo
should i download it from somewhere??(where?)

i've explained above the places where you can find it svn, installer, someone else, repair with no updaterinfo after a switch

i've done -console then switched the mirror but when it was repairing i saw that there a steel blue credits file in it!!
i delete the updaterinfo.xml and repaired again but i downloaded the 0.4.3 ...again!
what am i doing wrong??

Thank you.  Although your warning didn't save me from the experience, it did give me immediate explanation of what happened.

DON'T DO:
    planeshift --repair

i deleted the 0.5 version and downloaded the whole 0.5.1 from the main site
and i no longer have that problem
1 down 999 to go!

I AM running the 0.5.1 version; at least that's what I d/l'd & installed.

But, running "./planeshift --help" returns:
