never ending update
« on: February 04, 2005, 10:45:45 pm »
I just downloaded the game, and i went throught he whole updater being down thing, and now the GM\'s mention the game is back up, so I started the updater, and it worked accept for the fact that it just keeps updating the updater to a new build... and nothing else has happened for an hour...... just the same thing over and over

\"Download regestry\"
\"update regestry\"
\"server has another updater, going to fetch it...\"
\"updating updater to another build\"

and that is all I have gotten for an hour, because the thing keeps reseting... updating files... reseting... updating files... well this ever end?

The updater does not work. alot of us including me, have this problem, i downloaded the game over a week ago and still can not play. Karosh is working on building a new updater  for download and that should fix it. The new DLe should be done any time now. so stopp complaning and sit back and relax...............read a book or somthing

Hi,

I had the same problem and solved it ;)

You have to copy all files from \"updatertemp\" (you will find this folder in your planeshift folder)  into your mainfolder of planeshift (overwrite all files). and now run your updater again. This time it should work normally.

Nice playing :D

alright.. here\'s my situation:


my updater won\'t run.. i open it and it gives me the windows message that it has to close etc..  ive read all of the posts and it seems like a lot of people had this problem, but today it seems like most people\'s updaters are fine.  
also... the game itself will not run.. i try to run it and it says there was an error with exception code: c0000005
then it closes. let me know if there is a fix and if not, i have no problem waiting for one. i just want to make sure im not missing anything.  thanks a lot

for some people the updaters now work, im not sure why, but there are a few unluckies like me who still cant update. i would uninstall the game, BUT KEEP THE ORIGINAL INSTALLER, and see if that helps, the download from Karosh should fix the updater, but i dont know about the actuall game client.

nothing i\'ve tried has helped any. All of your suggestions might of helped other people but not me. So far, everything has failed and I see no hope of ever being able to play this game
