There is no updater folder.  These files belong in the root of the PS dir.  Just dump them straight in with the others.

so i throw them all out? EVERYTHING?!? but why?

I think you\'re missing the point here.  You need the files in this zip.  The ones it\'s going to overwrite in the PS dir are old.  Overwrite them.

I\'ve overwritten everything that was in there. logically it should work now right?

EDIT: OH YES YES TALK YOU GOOD KARMA IT\'S WORKING THANG YOU DAVEG SOOO MUCH!!!

Ok, then this all works as I said in the first post.  Great.

If anyone else has a problem with this, please post here.

The file link isn\'t working for me.

Hmm... It\'s working for me.  Try again.  If it\'s still not working, something really screwy is going on at your end.

Edited to add:
Here are 2 mirrors of that file:

http://laanx.fragnetics.com/updater_hidden/updater1100.zip

Thank you.  Those others worked.  I would have scrutinized my end more, but both computers weren\'t working over here.

[DaveG]

Ok, good.  I\'ve added the mirrors up top, just in case this happens to someone else.

I\'m new to planeshift. I just downloaded the windows 3.0.13 version and I\'m getting the updater crash.

I followed the instructions here (downloaded the updater linked in the first post and extracted it in my planeshift directory) but I\'m still seeing the same crash.

When I run psclient the version in the titlebar says 3.0.13 and not 1.0.x.x or 1.1.x.x.

I\'ve tried \"psclient -console\" but I get a dialog that says
\"Something unexpected happened in Planeshift: Crystal Blue
Details: EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION at 0042F42A\" and I\'m prompted to save a diagnostic file.

Before you ask, yes I\'m certain I extracted the updater to the correct directory as I was prompted to overwrite the existing files.

Any tips?

Well, first of all:

Also, if you downloaded the new package, it\'s obviously not for you.

Secondly, the current client version is 0.3.013 and the current updater version is 1.1.0.0.  So, this thread is not applicable to you.  You are up-to-date.

However, there\'s obviously a problem here, so we\'ll need to get to the bottom of it.  Please post a new thread with your system specs after reading the main sticky and going through the standard troubleshooting tips.

I found this other thread that sounds like it might explain my problem. I posted my specs there and followed the suggestions offered but I get no joy. Still crashes.

None of this makes sense...

Ok, so I move the file to the planeshift program files, and I extract them, then I run the updater? It doesn\'t work, if I\'m doing this right...

[DaveG]

You extract those files out of that zip into the PlaneShift directory.  It will ask you to overwrite the existing (old) ones, and you must say yes.  (if it didn\'t ask, you didn\'t do it)  Doing this will give you the new updater, and the files needed for it to properly update your installation.  (Your updater will list itself as version 1.1.0.0 if you did this right.)  Run the updater, and things should work.

Directory? Err...which file is that? :/

Edit: Sorry, I\'m not very good at these things. To rephrase my question; How do I get to the directory? (If this makes it any more clear).

[DaveG]

A \'directory\' is what we called a \'folder\' before Bill Gates decided all Windows users were idiots.

haha...your a funny guy dave

Yes, I know WHAT a directory is, but how do I get to that folder? >_>
