I didn't think to check the task manager prior to re-booting my computer.  But, before I made my post above I did an experiment.  I started PS & at the logging screen I exited PS using the quit button.  Then I accessed the task manager & the psclient.exe program was not listed.  So for me at least the only option was to re-boot my computer.

I noticed that too after the update but I am certain it was there before I updated with the patch so I'm guessing it had something to do with the patch not being installed.

As per Karyuu instructions, I got both Talad's zipped patch and her RARred one - which seem exactly the same  :detective: I uncompressed the files and manually copied them over the old ones.

Now psclient still tells me I have to run the updater  ::| but nonetheless it works pretty fine and I enjoyed a nice game session :thumbup:

However the updater doesn't even boot correctly  :'( It silently crashes out before showing the graphic window.

Well, just a notice ... I can play anyway  :flowers:

I'm keeping a low profile :whistling: hoping the program won't realized it has some glitches and will keep running as smoothly as ever  :innocent:

I'm hoping the same, Yorik :)

A clarification on the .rar I posted a link to - it is indeed the same patch that Talad that uploaded as a .zip; I was curious as to whether Talad's zipping the files had something to do with the password prompt many are getting, so I created my own archive to see if any change would occur for those downloading it.

I had the same problem when I ran the updater for the 1st time.  I tried running the updater a 2nd time & it ran smoothly.  I am not sure why, maybe I just got luckly, but there still appears to be problems with the updater.
