Save your patch to any folder EXCEPT the PS directory, then if you need to delete that directory you will still have the patch.......

..... that is assuming you have a whole 5MBs of HDD space to spare ;D

then use WinRAR or WinZip (or your fave) to extract to the PS directory with the overwrite option enabled

erm, I see.... i've been redownloading the patch each time I uninstalled, another bad mistake I see...

Anyways, after copying the files over, no luck. should I rebot after pasting all the extracted files?

hmmm if u want to be safe reboot ur comp each time u try and stop downloading the patch it will just waste bandwith and ur time
(edit) this is exactly (what i can remeber) what i did to get mine to work.

(this is from having it not installed on ur comp at all)
install the game
download patch
open the patch- right click open with winzip
copy all files.
paste into PS directory
Play game
get booted after 1 minute

Hi fellow PSers.

Where do you find this patch everyone is talking about ? I can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm not awaken enough yet ...

it doesn't really matter what file you put the patch in as long as it's in the installed Planeshift directory.

If you are being prompted for a password, first make sure that nothing PS-related is running in your processes, and second try extracting the patch files onto another location - another directory, another drive, etc. This seems to have worked for one of the people first to report this problem.
