Problem with updating


I just downloaded the Planetside installer from this site. Then I installed it, opened and activated my account.

Now it tries to update automatically. Will this download the files needed to play? It also seems it can't update because the server is busy, but I guess that will just take some patience.

Yeah, the installer will download all the files necessary to play the game, it can take some time, it is over a gig if I recall.

I sure hope they fix their update-server soon.

Only about 9 days, 22 hours left on trial-key.

Cable connection.

Should that be giving me problems?

Otherwise I'll try re-installing the installer, but I would find it quite strange if that helps.

One thing I know poeple have done is download the game from FilePlanet - then just login with the account they activated the 10 day trial on.

http://www.fileplanet.com/150133/150...al-Purchase%5D

Faster download usually from FP especially if you have an account.

Ok, trying it that way.

EDIT: It all seems to be Direct2Drive. So every time I get asked for my credit card number+other details to buy the game. I don't really see a way to bypass that.

EDIT2: Just tried installing the 'installer' again. Didn't help. Neither did turning my firewall off. I guess I'll have to play the waiting game now, hoping that that server will be up-and-running tomorrow.

You should be able to just download from fileplanet without buying the game - I've seen someone has done that recently I just cant remember who

Oooh!!

Thank you so much, was getting tired of it when I tried the installer again, and it didn't work.

Downloading now, but the speed is dropping from 250Kb/s to 100Kb/s and it will probably go even lower.
I'm looking at a 5 hour download already.


EDIT: Found another download server, also fileplanet. I'm looking at a 2 hour download now, much better.
File size is 1818,3Mb by the way.

Glad you got it running. There will just be a smaller patching process when you are done now.

Downloaded, installed, tried starting it up.

No luck, update server is still down or I can't connect to it.

This is really not the way it should be, sony is missing out on a lot of potential players if they all have the same problems.

Update server is down? the patch server is never offline that I am aware.. This is the first I've heard of so much trouble with downloading and installing the game hehe.

What kind of error are you getting?
