I dowloaded the http://www.xordan.com/updaterinfo.xml and it didn't work. I looked in my updater info and i dont have a 'true' or 'false'. Sooo, what now?

do not use the .4.00 updater only the .4.01 updater with the fixed updaterinfo.xml file

Ok I've read all of the links that were provided in this thread and none helped with this issue.

I'm having the updaterinfo.xml.bak messege as well. Where do I need to go in my computer to change the updaterinfo.xml.bak to updaterinfo.xml?

If there is a link that will explain this in detail that would be appreciated. I've noticed others asking this and the links aren't helping. I've done everything in the links that were explained there and it was easy. This is a new step that I can't figure out.

Hanace asked "Where do i change the title at?" That is what I can't figure out either.

I've run the .4.01 updater over and over and over again.

Can't tell you that.  Can only tell you it's where ever you installed the game client at on your system.  You'll just have to do a search on your system if you don't remember where you put things.

click on the file one time in explorer and press F2 then rename the file if file extensions are not shown make sure they are in options [somewhere].
