I downloaded the updater.jar and double cliked it but it came up with this

\'The jar file \"Updater.jar\" couldn\'t be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages\'

and the DMG folder will not open!

Ok, this is not funny... >_<
The Updater.jar in my Planeshift folder works great. The Updater.jar in my Updater project folder is a dud. How this happened, I don\'t know, since Updater.jar always goes from the project folder to the Planeshift folder... I have suspicions that a little gnome snuck in and messed it up just to spite me. The correct version is now available for download. Many apologies for any confusion this may have caused and sorry to Luusium for suggesting something that was broken. ;)

hehehe don\'t worry!

yay it works!

How much memory is it? 300 ish mb?

sorry to ask soooo many questions

When updating is it basically downloading off the internet? if so, oh go, as i have just had to restart the update cause the internet failed, and it stopped at 27%!


Okay its updating but and it says theres about 45 mins left, but it\'s satying at 0%, although the files are updating smoothly? does this matter?

Well, the updater starts from scratch with the percent every time, but any files that finished downloading remain downloaded. This is because things are not necessarily released in huge chunks, so the updater looks at individual files and gets what you need.

The only reason I can think that it would stay at 0% is that it is downloading a lot of really small files or that you\'re updating an existing version of the game with zip entries checked. If the former, don\'t worry about it. If the latter, I\'d like to hear how it goes as I haven\'t tested the new Zip Entries mode. :)
