Important Patcher Update V2.0.3 (Please Read).

Samuel · Aug 4, 2014

Hey all,

Apologies it has taken this long to sort the current patcher issue (redownloading audio.pak, minimap.pak and sound.lst over and over because they became corrupt on our last upload), however, we have hopefully fixed the underlying issue(s) (thanks to Jamie for his support with this).

Please download the latest version of the patcher from here. - This will hopefully be the last time you need to manually update your patchers

Fixes/Changes as of V2.0.3:
- Patcher is now capable of patching itself (might be some issues with xp users, would really like feedback if you experience any issues).
- Patcher now downloads a physical zip (TempFile.gz), extracts it and finally cleans up after itself (instead of attempting to do this all in memory).
- Removed gate indicators as they were showing false positives.
- Removed user count until an underlying issue has been fixed.
- Decreased height (was to tall on my rubbish laptop resolution :P).
- Random GUI loading (different images will load).

We have run a number of tests against the latest build of the patcher (including against different versions of windows (xp, 7 and 8)), however, there have been a number of changes, so, we recommend to take care when running it (potentially back up your current first, although I don't think this is necessary, it might be worth doing until we confirm there are no hiccups).

Please provide us with any feedback/issue reports.

I would recommend a small change For Faster transfers on smaller files, (I don't believe this has a negative effect on large files).

Change PatchClient.ini to

Code:

Host=http://162.243.83.44/NewerPatcher/

Old Value

Code:

Host=ftp://162.243.83.44/NewerPatcher/

Show me details please.

But from the looks of things, the application failed to connect to the server. However I am unsure why the IP has 6 octets and seperated by comma's

Whats the contents of PatcherClient.ini?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.


For example:


<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Just out of interest related to this

Is the FTP port closed and this is the reason that ftp did not work
are you able to connect to ftp normally.

Just wondering is all, interested to know what may have been to cause

If im honest I think the problem was trying to read the Updater Patcher, removing UpdateUri="..." from config is a temporary fix but it won't be able to selfupdate (from what I can tell).

Samuel · Aug 7, 2014

I imagine Tai's firewall doesn't allow outgoing connections via ftp by default (forget what the port is now), however, port 80 is usually allowed by default.
