errors after updating

[zog]

hiya ...after several tries (deleting, then restoring, then deleting again) removing the version.dat file and updating (trying both with and without the "skip version check") I finally managed to update. Now ...I crash before my client launches, with EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO at 004BF9B2 as an error and being asked if I want to save a diagnostic file. Running Windows XP.

<edit> ripping the whole thing out and reinstalling ...see if that works

<edit2> okay, finally got it to work ...here's what worked for me:
uninstalled planeshift, then re-dl'ed it and patched ...then updated (first attempt failed ...deselected the "check version" option and it functioned)

I'm getting the same problem...is there a way to get it to work without uninstalling and installing again?  because it'll take me a while to download it again

Try to always keep the original installation exe around - reinstalling may be required several times throughout the course of your gameplay due to various problems, and redownloading it over and over is a waste of time and bandwidth if you can just burn the .exe to a CD.

I've tried to use my old exe and uninstalling and installing several times, but when I try to update it downloads part of the way, then it just closes, and I can never open it again.
