Translation:

Okay I just downloaded it and I've read all the previous posts. Nothing is working, the patch thing, the nero guy's link... nothing. I did the patch thingy right but once I get to the game it says that the game version cannot access the server, or something like that. And when I use the updater, all that it does is say 'stopped'.

If you keep posting in all caps, no one is going to pay attention. It is considered very rude online, so please don't do this - it's like you're shouting all the time. Your email address has also been edited out - anyone can find it and just spam you to hell if they want. Be safe and leave your email out.

When you extracted the files from the .zip into your main PS folder, did you make sure that you overwrote successfully? Nothing was in use, and you didn't skip any files?

Also, you probably want to emove your email, unless you like spam in your inbox.

Edit, Karyuu beat me to it.

Then it's a completely different problem now. Are you using a firewall or router, by any chance? You have to make sure that you have UDP port 7777 available for the Laanx server. If you're not sure how to work with ports, you're going to have to use Google to find instructions for the firewall software or router model that you have.

What little circle? I'm not psychic, I have no way of knowing what you are seeing :} If you have a firewall or router, you will need to find documentation specific to that software/model on how to work with ports. There are too many variations for me to give you general directions.

Trill, please don't double-post. These forums have a Modify button that you should use if you have more information to add to a post, and no one has replied yet.

The port needs to be changed through your firewall or router. Not through PlaneShift. PS doesn't have the capability.

You need to allow UDP 7777 to pass through for the game to work.  If you have a HTTP proxy, you can enter those settings into the updater options to allow that to work.  Those are 2 seperate things.

First off, a sanity check.  When you run the game, what version does it say up top?  If it doesn't say 0.3.015b then you've not actually installed and patched it right.
