Cannot restart 0.5.9 client after crashing at load point.

[Rigwyn]

OK, So the new client was working fine, then I tried to cross from east Hydlaa to the plaza. At the load point ( where the leather working station is ), I crashed. When I try to restart the client, I get the output below.  I tried it several times and got the same result. Closed xterm and opened a new xterm, same thing. Tried from gnome terminal and I got to the character select screen. Closed it and tried in xterm -- got this crash again. Tried from gnome-terminal and got the same crash.

This was a fresh install in my home directory.
I'll continued to tinker until I get it working, so this is more of a heads up.

Oddly, after running repair, I get this:


[------------------------------]   1.3MB (100%)   5.4kB/s eta 0s         

Checking file integrity:
Using mirror http://194.116.72.94/update/backup/

The following files failed the check:
art/materials.zip
art/meshes.zip

win64/pslaunch.exe

Do you wish to download the correct copies of these files? (y/n)




Really? All four of theses files are bad after having just installed the new client?
Unfortunately, materials.zip is gigantic. It would be nice if this file was broken up into several files- this way perhaps I would not have to download a 480MB file each time I have to repair.

( 480MB is half the installation file )

Ok, So I started downloading materials.zip and stuff via the repair function, but I got impatient because it was horribly slow, so I stopped it, then just reinstalled the client. Just for shits and giggles, I ran Repair to see if it complains about these same files. Sure enough, it did:

By the way, reinstalling the client fixed it.

repairing with a clean install while preparing desura packages didn't show files to be repaired except the win64 files which are still plaguing the server side of the updater, but can be ignored.

[Rigwyn]

I ran the latest update today. Before doing so, I copied art/materials.zip to another directory.
As expected, the updater reported that it needed to replace materials.zip
After letting it do so, I grabbed a checksum off the backed up file and the new one. The checksum was the same.

danger@Cepht ~ $ cd
danger@Cepht ~ $ cksum ./art/materials.zip; cksum ./PlaneShift/art/materials.zip
3532314767 502879267 ./art/materials.zip
2548982666 502879267 ./PlaneShift/art/materials.zip
danger@Cepht ~ $

Notice that the file size is identical, thought the checksum is different.
My guess would be that the file is getting truncated by the compression program
or that its cutting truncated during transmission.

Did you ever make it through from Hydlaa to East Hydlaa?

[Rigwyn]

Yes, reinstalling worked. As for the above, that was a brain fart.
