Mac Version won't start up when I update it!
« on: January 21, 2007, 04:59:48 am »
I downloaded planeshift for mac, and before I used the updater it would start up fine.  But, it said I did not have the correct version, so I ran the updater and got it updated as much as I could.  Then, I tried to launch through the updater.  That didn't work.  I tried to launch it normally.  That didn't work.  I tried to launch it through pssetup.  That didn't work.  Please Help Me! :'(

PS
I am running Mac OS X tiger.  Would that make a difference?

*edit*

I already followed "Running Planeshift on a Mac".

The same thing has just happened to me   :(  :-\  :'(. I decided to come back to planeshift after being inactive for a few months and successfully downloaded the ps client 3.017, THE LATEST VERSION OF PS! So I open it up and it says "you are not running the correct version of planeshift. Please launch the updater". Anyway I was just thinking about launching the updater when I stumbled across this thread. Now after reading your post I'll think twice about updating  :thumbup:

 Try this, RUN updater 2 times. then open ps folder, go to Data then gui, remove the following files.

questnotebook.xml
interact.xml
illumination.xml
gmguiwindow.xml
gmaddeditaction.xml
borderlist.xml

ALSO remove from ps folder version.dat

then run updater again.

Should work now, good luck.
Glad to help.

I got it to work, i just had to get rid of the steps, remove version.dat and run updater again.

*edit*

Never Mind! When I finished creating my character, it loads and says: Some of the widgets could not be loaded. Check your logs.

*edit*

Thanks for trying, but that didn't do anything.  The icon bounces for a second, and the application unexpectedly quit. :'(

*edit*

Okay. I deleted the entire game, and im not going to try to get it working again.

First, don't double-post as some other moderator already noted above. It's annoying. Just modify your existing post with the new information. Second, a patch is under development. Please be patient. Third, this is not a new issue. Search before posting, as you'll save yourself and everyone else a lot of time. Now, since there's really nothing further to be discussed here... iLock.
