Send a personal messsage to Justice Delivered

Everytime I launch the program, it notifies me the "scripts are out of date. Please restart from the lobby..." When I do that, it gives me 30 consecutive errors -- "error unpacking darkwind/client.... etc."

Suggestions?

The auto updater is making a call to your archiving application.
I would check the settings of the program you are using to unzip.

Might seem like a stupid question but what are you using to open DW? darkwindClient or DarkwindLobby?

if your using the darkwindClient it doesn't do the updates and that the only thing i can think of that says it has a out of date script and to restart.

I would guess you're probably using Windows Vista and not running in administrator mode? That means the patching is impossible since Vista doesn't allow the downloaded files to be saved on your hard disk.

Using WinZip on a Windows XP. What setting should I be looking for on WinZip?

It sounds like you have not unzipped the folder structure correctly, perhaps. Did you try using the self extracting installer instead?

Wow, amazing how many little things can cause problems, but yea as sam said make a folder for Darkwind and extract the items from the Winzip file into it or download the self installer which does it itself.

it was my anti-virus... "Real-time Monitor" was interfering somehow. Problem solved. Thanks all!

See you in the game.
