For Latest Updater Crashes
« on: February 04, 2005, 01:15:06 am »
Edit: Problem solved. Everyone who was having updater problems and finding the server down over the past day will now be able to update and log in.

Yeah, the .dll file doesn\'t exist for me.  Could you post it here?

It will part of the updater as soon as we find somebody that can build it :).  Talad ( who usually does the builds ) is asleep at the moment.  Will post an update soon.

-_-, look around the forum: there\'s a big problem with the current update.  read up.

A NEW PROBLEM:  having copied mike\'s xmltiny.dll i ran the updater and got an error: couldn\'t find the dynamic link library MSVCP71D.DLL.

This is just the start of the problem, I managed to update before the new updater was broken so now i get a vfs error.

iVFS not implemented

Error loading Graphics2D pluging

I think i should add more detail:

Only moments after the xmltiny.dll was uploaded i managed to update the updater and the game data itself, including what looked like new magic shop items and spells o.O

The game failed to run (sorry don\'t recall the error, but setup didn\'t run either).

So i ran the updater again which now gives me the error above on both my systems (athlon and p4)

we dont need people like you around anyway... not understanding the idea of a game in \"Alpha Testing\"...

the devs work hard, but they dont get paid for doing this, its like a hobby for them, and we appreciate all of them for working as hard as they do

and so as you leave... dont let the door hit you on the way out
I am just a figment of you imagination and a byproduct of the worse accident ever... ... or so my mommy says!
Imagine your life ripped to hundreds of shreds, then think about how you just stepped in poo, welcome to my world.

Here\'s the message I get on my Win98SE system.

WARNING! Suspicious: object with tag \'iVFS\' does not implement interface \'iVFS\'!
Error loading Graphics2D plugin.

Then the error window with:

UPDATER caused an invalid page fault in
module GL3D.DLL at 0167:0187d7a1.

But I had to explode the zip file manually and may have a file out of place.

Oh, and I did check for the above/original problem.

When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily
by reducing it to the question, \"How would The Hulk handle this?\"

Note: I installed the tinyxml and added the line to the psupdate.cfg.

In my Windows XP system, when the Updater askes me to wait while the files are updated. When I press okay, the update window closes, and nothing happens, not even an error message.

  The Devs are doing a wonderful job on PS, and I have no complaints, only concern.

-_-\" this is a free beta... what do you expect? Exercise some patience.

I had all the problems listed above, here is what i tried:

After several tries i installed ps to a new, empty folder. I did NOT uninstall the other (newer) version!
After that, i encountered the \"MSVCP71D.DLL missing\" - error.
I manually copied MSVCP71D.DLL and MSVCR71D.DLL (was also missing, new error occured) to the new directory.

Then i once again had the problem that nothing happened after the updater told me it would update itself and i should do nothing but wait.

The (not updated) game did run without any problems, not even the \"Error loading Graphics2D pluging\". The only server found was fragnatics, a connection was of course not possible due to the elder version.

Any ideas?

Btw, where are the new updater-files stored that have been downloaded successfully? Perhaps i could copy them manually. Or what else does the updater do after downloding its newer version?
