cRPGLauncher.exe trouble? post here!

[Elmokki]

Elmokki,  I ran your unofficial launcher again and it goes through the whole thing but only creates a .270 file.  Let us know if you plan to update the unofficial launcher.  I hope you do.  It is odd that I can get onto the servers still running .270, but there are glitches.  None of my armor is correct, for one.

Okay, I happened to have an old version of cRPG backed up so I could try updating an existing installation instead of doing a fresh test installation or validating an up to date installation.

The "Downloaded file didn't match the listed MD5 sum. This horrifies and scares me so I must stop updating :<" error reported above by you is what I get too and which is what fails updating properly. This is due to me not understanding the file saving method I used well enough. Now it deletes outdated files before downloading the updated file and it works properly even when updating an existing installation at least on my computer.

Error messages and wether the program finishes PROPERLY or not should be a bit clearer too.

The official launcher will still ask you if you wish to install a new version. You can press yes without any issues, it'll just check the validity of your files since you actually have all the updated files already - the laucnher just doesn't know it.

EDIT: Small revision made due to a dumb error in code. As a bonus it'll read/write version data now so the official launcher won't be confused if you already have the newest version and it'll actually ask if you wish to update if you have the newest version already according to version data.

Like before, I recommend running the official cRPG launcher when you want to start the game. My official one is not supposed to be a method to avoid using it, it's supposed to be a method of avoiding the downloader part for people who have problems with it.

Elmokki,

You are the BEST, man!  I downloaded it and have it updating now.  For some reason the Unofficial updater is the only one that works.

Elmokki,

Does your launcher update to .273?

When I use the cRPG launcher now, it no longer launches into the steam version fully - it loads from the steam directory, but it no longer allows me to use the steam overlay to browse/chat - any solutions?

It should. I haven't tested though.

It forces the game to use a 1.143 client which Steam does not support. Or that's how I believe it works. So basically you're running a non-Steam version with Steam files.

I see.. so once they stop doing all their updates for their shitty DLC, we'll get a working overlay?

I'm not a dev so don't trust me, but something like that. Warband module system is pretty retarded though so it may take a while after that too.

this is what worked for me!!

i deleted the entire Crpg folder in WB-dir

installed cRPG 0.251

deactivated Norton.

and used the Launcher to install updates

when that was done, i activated norton, and launched the game.

You can get the overlay by adding the launcher as a non-steam game. It won't track your playtime though.

This may be a dumb question, but do I have to update Warband before updating cRPG?  I don't have steam and I'm running warband version 1.143.

Thanks Karrypto.

Elmokki,

I ran the unofficial launcher and it started working.  But It stopped after awhile, see image.
Any idea why?

Some other program is reading version.txt. If you don't know what program, boot your computer. It could also be that I just plain forgot to close the file when I originally read it in my program, but not sure. I lost the source code anyway recently due to forgetting I even had it.

If I remember correctly though, if you get an error message at version.txt your game is updated properly.

When i start crpg from launcher teamspeak was not working. I must start game by official warband.exe icon. Anybody was have that problem?
