I thought my PSclient was updated

[catseyeangie]

Hello, this is my first time posting here so forgive me if i'm in the wrong section. I've been trying to get PS to work I'll click join to enter the world but it crashes at the load screen then it tells me that I need to update the client even though, as far as i know, it's updated. the version at the title bar says 0.5.5 but it's saying i need to update to 0.5.4? I'm running windows 7 btw

Welcome to the forums.

The crash dialog content was outdated already in the 0.5.4 release. Don't take it serious, it is a known-for-months-already issue.

Some internet security suites block the psclient as a backdoor something. So check your firewall etc might help.

Sometimes you need to run the updater a few times  ( by clicking the "repair" button in the ps-launcher ).

Be sure you run the game as administrator by rightclicking the Ikon and choose for "run as administrator"  ( not sure about 7, on Vista i have to do freaky things like that )

The client should run well as normal user. It must be allowed to open a random UDP port on demand and listen to replies to the same port (which most usual hardware firewalls in NAT routers should do, but some additional software firewalls don't and do more harm than good).

But the launcher may need to be able to change executables in a program folder during updates (which the UAC would deny).

It may not be necessary to click "Repair" (because that starts a more intense check), just to start pslaunch.exe a few times (as administrator; but after another, not in parallel), to get updated rather reliably.
