Problem patching...

**xBLINDSIDEx**

My launcher keeps freezing up at "scanning: xptl.dll" ... the patch finishes downloading, and it goes to that and stays, I've tired multiple times to restart it, and it always get to there and freezes.. any ideas.. i've tried using the system patch thing, and tried not using it.. it all does the same thing SMILEY

I hope mind doesn't do that. I've been downloading for a while now. . . not done yet.

Hey, Great!!! An error!

Man, I am getting the same crap. Just got to exit the patcher and then re-open it it seems. Mine got all the way to zchar_misc.pkb until I just X'ed it out just now.

This is just really weird. I have a reason to think its because they shut down the QA for the night.

I was thinking the same thing, except i've never gotten passed this, I was trying to patch it before the server even became open, and was having the problem, I've yet to get passed that file.. I'm thinking about deleting the test server folder and starting all over again..

**xBLINDSIDEx**

Well.. I deleted the test world folder, and started over... still no luck, though i finally got to the next file and am now stuck on glck.ltb... ::sigh:: 4 hours later.. still nothing.

I've been having the same problem all night, except mine didn't even get that far before it just stops downloading.
I thought maybe it was just going slow, so i killed a couple hours watching tv, came back, still the same spot after 7 tries.

Guys, first rule of thumb for patching MxO: never trust the launcher to give an accurate display of the download's progress. Just go into your MxO folder and find the folders called "_patchctldltemp" or something like that and check the files inside (might need to hit F5 to refresh the data). If the filesize of one of the files inside is increasing, it's still downloading, regardless of what file it may be "stuck" on in the launcher.

Granted, it may really be stuck, but always check the actual patch files instead of relying on the launcher.

Hah, it's working, Stack. Thanks alot man!

Though I wonder if this means it resetted everytime I exited the thing and such... I'm at 27.6 MB and I was at 18.0 MB when I started again not 30 minutes ago.

I cant even get to the patching screen

Im not running on my C:/ drive so I copied just as Data Node One says then I made the text file, copied the info and saved file as useropts.cfg.

Made shortcut of launcher as recommended and nothing. I have basically 2 instances of my regular game, so basically I could click either copy and still enter Vector or whatever.

WTH could I be doing wrong? I went by these instructions exactly and now I just have 2 seperate installs of my original game.

Well, I tried to just start it, and then I went to bed, woke up once, and I got the timeout thing that I posted above, started over, went back to bed.. woke up.. and same thing again...

Ther must be an error in the useropts.cfg u made. i think. Make sure that it accually isn't called useropts.cfg.txt, can happen very easy when making the file... Here is a working one if u need it: http://www.disco-dynamo.dk/mxo/useropts.cfg
