Serious issues getting started
« on: January 02, 2005, 07:02:10 am »
I downloaded and installed the game successfullly, and registered an account. I then tried to log in, finding my installation out of date. I then used the updator to update the game. Instead, it retrieved a new version of the updater, and requested a restart. Here\'s where the problem starts. I restart it, and it looks like this:

However, everythign still works. If I click where the update button should be, it updates, or if I use the --update command from the cmd prompt. (neat trick someone showed me on irc) Even though it updates successfully, after the update if I run the game, I get the same problem. The background image and text boxes are there, but I\'m working blind with no text. The textless octagon on the bottom left of the screen quits.  If I do a blind login (assuming I\'m doing it right) it waits a while, then get a big box that says \"ok\"

What\'s going on??

I\'ve tried reinstalling it, with the same results.

According to Justeclair, using the pre-update glwin32.dll should fix this.

Edit: Heh heh, I\'m in a good mood today. :D

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM
