    Oh how I would support this!

    I wonder what would happen if someone uploaded their whole 3 gig test server folder minus their screenshots and settings and I tried to run it. Anyone willing to give it a try?
  3. JayboH
    They want me to uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials. I have tried this with it turned off, but ok, I know this won't work - how could it? I'm about ready to give up. Why would it stall at 6.5 megs and restart day after day after day because of an antivirus program that is turned off?
  4. JayboH
    Good idea - they just had me send them a Belarc test result, we'll see if that helps.

    I just got an update from the kind-hearted Arbiter Kim:

    Hey JayboH,

    Any luck so far? I've forwarded your problem on to the engineers. Here's hoping they find something.

    Let me know if I can do anything else.

    -AK

    So hopefully those of us with this problem might yet see the light.

Can you post a pic of what your updater exe looks like and the path it goes to etc?
    That's why I posted the pics, you can see it is the EU updater - the website that shows is totally diff from the US one which has different sections cut against a black background. The white solid one is the EU one.

    EDIT: by the way, I appreciate all the help!

    Since you seem incapable of seeing how others may make a small mistake when trying to offer help, I'll back out of this and leave you in peace. I won't make the mistake of replying to your posts since I won't see them.

    Good day.
    Thank you.

    I delete the entire CoHTest folder and start from scratch and I get this crap, I know it isn't anything regarding hidden files.

    Nope, read the name of the exe file it is 'fixing' and notice what you said.
  11. JayboH
    Absolutely not.
  12. JayboH
    Hey, anyone know why it says (null) after? Is that what it says if it hasn't been downloaded yet?
  13. JayboH
    It frustrates me to hear all of you got this to work for you, it just keeps pausing at fixing that exe that does not exist at 6.5 megs, and starts downloading the file manifest and fixing the exe all over again.
  14. JayboH
    Here, look for yourself, there isn't even an EXE there while it is doing this!

  15. JayboH
    Yes I started a brand new folder, had to tell it where to go, etc. How many times did it fix the exe for you?
  16. JayboH
    It always seems to restart after it sits there at 6.5 megs like you see there.
  17. JayboH
    Support had me turn UAC off in Win 7 before any of this by the way.

  18. JayboH
    Did the above, and so far it doesn't look good. Here is a shot, showing the EU version and what it has been doing for the last 15 min:



    EDIT: it just went into 'Downloading File Manifest' again and it is fixing the exe yet again.

    Are we hated?

    Just noticed this thread.

    If anything, for years I thought Stalkers were the most hated. They were the most useless at any rate. Completely pointless until they made the most recent changes. Now I don't mind them or mind playing them.

    MMs are fun, they add a little buffage to the team, and can tank.

    Wait, what? You can stack -res from the same power? That's a first if it's true.

    His problem is completely unrelated anyway. This is not about how much the test server is getting hammered right now.
  22. JayboH
    I forget the name: Digital Vibrancy perhaps, I can't remember, is a feature only on Nvidia drivers. I wonder if that is what he is talking about.
  23. JayboH
    From Arbiter Kim:

    Thanks for the heads up. We'll check it out.

    Will do, might as well hit this from every angle. This is apparently happening to more than a handful of people.
  25. JayboH
    No, I get no errors or any pop ups of any kind, unless I try from scratch of course, when it asks where to install it.

    Apparently this is a new common problem with Issue 17. Issue 16 was no problem for me.
