PSLaunch problem
« on: April 27, 2010, 10:40:13 pm »
I've got a problem with pslaunch.  Whenever I do anything in pslaunch, it doesn't affect the game itself.  Also, when I attempt to play from pslaunch, the application just goes white then goes back to the main pslaunch screen.  It does that a few times then crashes.  What can I do????!!!!!  Its annoying because I can't do anything about the considerable lag I've been having.

By the way, I'm on a mac with a PowerPC core and Leapord 10.5.8 [not snow leaopard]

in windows client, when I update with "pslaunch.exe --console" the process fails with:
md5sum of updater zip does not match correct md5sum!!
Updater finished!

I think can be related with the new server location? there's a correct updater zip somewhere?

ok, doing a "pslaunch.exe --repair" worked for my windows client.
Sorry dracaeon, but I never seen the pslaunch interface in Mac osx. I assume that's the same of linux client. so perhaps you have a "repair" button, try to use it.

I have never been able to run the game by using the pslaunch app on my mac. I only use PS launch to get updates and make some settings adjustments. To run the game I have always just run the psclient.app directly.

Ok, so I run PSlaunch, it says there are updates .. I suspect the name of the new server is one of them ...

I run pslaunch and get this ...

[--------------------------------------------------]    5.101MB (100%)   130.7kB/s eta 0s   

md5sum of updater zip does not match correct md5sum!!
DEBUG: Closing OpenAL sound system
DEBUG: Closing OpenAL sound system
user@host:~$

md5sum does not match      :thumbdown:

I dont mean to be a pill, but little snafoos like this will prevent people from playing altogether.
Some will complain on the forums and get help, some will wait a few weeks and try again,
others will just say screw it and find a different game never to return.

I not saying this to be harsh - please dont get me wrong, I just want to point out the fact that small
oversights like this can have undesirable consequences.


I'll try again in a week or two perhaps.

How can you be sure that you have the latest version - when people all over are complaining just today that the updater fails?

Does your client report version 0.5.3 in the window header? If not, your update failed. Try a "Repair" update then...

The downgrading to 0.4.0.3 is a common issue for a lot of people when using repair...even if they haven't edited their updaterinfo.xml manually. For some reasons it gets unusable for some people at some point . ;) If you use repair after running into this problem the updater uses the hardcoded update server it has...what is a update server for the 0.4 version. It is said to be fixed in the sourcecode...no idea if it is fixed in any binary build yet. The main problem with this is that without a reinstall you won't be able to get back to 0.5. So the only solution I can offer is to reinstall the latest binary version, make a backup of the whole installation directory and then do the update again. If it fails again go to IRC and bug some devs about it...but at least then you can revert to the backup and don't have to reinstall everything.

Dude, you have a very old copy. (0.4.03.4)
Download the latest version ( 0.5.3 )

I don't get it like this Rigwyn. For me it looks more like the usual downgrade issue.

I was under the impression that he/she was trying to update 0.4.03 
Your downgrade explanation makes more sense.
