Please use a more obvious thread title next time.

"Help" is useless.

Something like "Missing LIBCURL.DLL" would lead to the reason even before someone read this thread completely.

What error report thing? Details can mean faster solutions :>

Have you successfully aplied the patch and made sure all files were overwritten, before running the updater?

If a file is being used, reboot your computer and try again as the first thing you do :} Don't run PlaneShift - first patch the files, then run the updater. Only after the update completes successfully try running the game.

Hello,

Did you make sure to install the patch successfully, overwriting every file with no errors?
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.
