Hi to everyone that reads this post I am a experienced player of PS but a while back I stoped playing and had to remove it, but now I have decided I want it back problem is I cant install it . This is exactly what happens:

1. Place Planetside disk 1 in Drive
2. Installation loads up.
3. Disk 1 finishes installing
4. Computer ask's for disk 2
5. I place disk In drive and press ok , then this comes up(exactly):
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Component Transfer Error

Component:Planetside
File group:
File:
Error:Catastrophic failure

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have any ideas what the hell this means or how to fix it please, please help since I love planetside and I am a outfit leader on there. Thanks for reading

Oh yeah and btw can you post links,web addresses or anything like that here to becuase I dont know much about this forum :doh:

I don't know how to solve the whole problem regarding PS.
But on these forumes we use UBB code:
To make a link
[*URL= *link URL here*]Text that is to be the hyperlink here[/*URL]
remove the asterisks in the brackets.
To make an image
Image URL here

Have you tried reformating your hard drive? That solves alot of things.

[neb1355]

GUYs! I dont know that much about computers keep in simpler and how the 'ell am i meant to know how to reformat a hard drive??? and what forum??

You PSU types keep over-complicating things.

Download that, open it, hit next, hit next, hit finish
Press I agree, type in your account login/pass
Let it patch
Hit play


Hows that?

I had this problem.

Go to FilePlanet and download the game client itself. If you legally own the CDs, that's completely within the rules.

Note that using your beta CDs DOES NOT work.

[GreyFlcn]

But my client installer is easier to use and faster :D

[neb1355]

Wow!!!! thanks GreyFlcn but how does this ' application ' work ?? Its seems strange sorry if i sound so negative :)

[neb1355]

Oh yeah 1 last thing GreyFlcn what else will I need to run with your application to play PS?

[GreyFlcn]

Speakers or Headphones
Chair
Keyboard
Mouse
Microphone optional

Oh, and you need a PlanetSide account

[GreyFlcn]

All it does is install the LaunchPad, which then kicks in and installs everything you don't have.
Which is, everything.

If you wanted an 'application' for PlanetSide

I suggest you try my PSLaunch program:
http://www.greyfalcon.net/pslaunch.zip

It autologs you into PlanetSide, and Teamspeak with a desktop shortcut.

[neb1355]

Thanks GreyFlcn but i still dont really understand is'nt that like....stealing in a way i mean I have'nt installed the CD's onto my comp all i have done is download this thing and started patching i just don't understand how it can work without installing the game with the CD's. ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY PS NORMALLY LIKE I WOULD WITH THE CD'S

I suggest you try my PSLaunch program:

-------------------------------

What? PSLaunch ? All i want to do is play planetside :huh:

[GreyFlcn]

You can't begin downloading it without a PlanetSide account

You'd be downloading all the patched up new version of PlanetSide anyways using this method.

This just makes it much quicker.

For instance someone else saying it:

[GreyFlcn]

PSLaunch is a seperate program I made to make starting up the game simpler.
It's not an installer.
Don't worry about it if your confused.

[neb1355]

Yeah ok , but all I want to know is, will this ' thing ' i downloaded let me play Planetside as normal. Like is that all i need and yes i have a previous account

[GreyFlcn]

Yup
Just try it.

Install is dead simple.

Should see the SOE logo pop up 30 seconds in, and begin patching.

After which you just do the game like normal, except with a REALLY long patch.

Expect it to take 2-3 hours on broadband.

[neb1355]

Oh right :)

I think I understand now , so the only differance between this and the CD version is this has a much longer patcher? (It's patching now, 8 hours to go)

[Eldanesh]

Just wanna chime in, Greyfalcon's installer is very, very, very useful, as long as you have a decent connection it generally does not take more than a few hours too. <3 for stipping down the launchpad, imo thats how all games should be sold :p

[FatalLight]

No offense grey but I don't trust people over the internet with an account password that has a credit card on it. Even if it is just put into the program how do I know you're not emailing it to yourself everytime I log on?
