Help- Updater issue

01/15/2011 03:32 shinru2004#1
Ok im going to feel like a nub if this is simple to fix.... Alright as you all know im not a beginner in the shaiya dev scene and i know i have my updater set up right but for some reason when the updater applies a new patch it seems to be corrupting the data. I had a look inside the updater and can see no issues, i have used the same updater before without any issue's but for some reason now it doesnt want to work. My players are getting mad because they get char load error because the updater corrupts the item.sdata and skill.sdata on update. But before you say its the sdata. If they update 4-5 times then it will start working and they can log in, but on some players PC's they cant log in at all. a little input would be welcome.

Thanks you Sincerely,

Shinru2004

yuh a fix for this issue would be very helpful lol
ive been having this same issue but im not using an updater at the moment
im just trying to make a new client..but since im entering ep4 skills into an ep5 client that may be the issue
which doesnt make sense since all this worked before i switched to a dedicated server
ive been playing around with the sdata files for over a week now..more if you count my 3 week issue of trying to correctly input ep4 skills to an ep5 server/client lol
it seems my files are fine..until i put a new skill.sdata in..
issues issues :D

(and i think shinru can support me here..i do know what im doing..mostly..lol..so its not just one or two people getting the issue o.o)

well see the thing is that none of the patches are really over a max of 20mb total and the patches i was using before where only about 2-3mb so i just combined them all. but they havent been working since we set the updater up

im sorry, i guess no one knows what the issue is? Anyways, LPH can you move this to the right section please? Maybe i can find an answer there idk. I need a fix soon though because half my players can't log in now
