currupt patch and the updater wont work

[Noozster]

Hi,

Just to add another step.  I had 3 files in use, which would not overwrite and it was because Updater was still running in the background even though I closed the updater.  I had to go into Task Manager and look for Updater.exe in the process tab and kill the process.

Then I extracted the zip again and all files overwrote.  Now everything is working.

hope this may help some people.

Noozster.

When you extracted the patch files into your main PS directory, did you overwrite? Did all of them get extracted? Did you make sure that no psclient.exe or anything similar was running in your processes when you were patching?

I know Karyuu, thanks for your understanding.
I am just expressing my emotions. For a new player to this game who knows little about computers, this is very frustrating.
Yes, I overwrote. Yes, all were extracted, I was asked at least 20 times if i wished to continue past a corrupted file. I said yes to all. Nothing was running when I extracted. I guess in a few days I will d/load the patch & overwrite again.
In the meantime I will continue reading this forum for clues.
Thanks again for your help, & good luck.

Uh-oh. If it's corrupted, it's no good. I think it's a safe bet to say that this is preventing you from going further. Can you open a .rar archive by any chance?

Not without askingfriends if they know how.
But myy guild, the Blitzers, suggest I uninstall the game, re-install, then use the PS updater without the patch.
What do you think about that idea ?...

[Karyuu]

I think that's absolutely wrong advice - we have a sticky with instructions that say using the patch is a must before you run the updater. Would you like me to just email you the files within the patch .zip? At this point this is the only thing I can think of.

I think your idea sounds better, thanks. That way I can avoid all the corrupted files, & there were a lot of them in that patch.
I take it I just place these files in the main PS folder. I'm sorry, but I am not sure what/how to do that even when you do email them. Sorry to be so naive...

Different email clients/hosts handle email attachments differently - if you can figure out (through help/documentation?) how to save attachments to a specific folder, it'll be just a matter of navigating to your PS directory and saving the files there. Gmail for example just has a Download link like so, which upon clicking will ask you where to save the file:







PM me with your email address and we can work something out :}
