More Launcher heartbreak.

just when i thought i had installation down pat....

when patching up my machine.....
i've deleted patch 159 so that it doesnt try re-download 160.
(ok check)

then..launcher wants to re-download 186. this is all very well but as soon as it finishes downloading 186 i get a pretty message saying NeocronLauncher has created an error - blah blah. an error log will be created -blah blah [an error log is created in my neocron directory but it's as empty as a redneck's bookshelf].

i've tried pre downloading 186 from the ftp source but the launcher still wants to download 186 from the game server.

any advice to quell my heartburn ??

In your patches folder, you will find 2 versions of patch 186:
- The one you need to keep, that you got from the ftp.
- The one you need to delete, which has 'temp' in its filename.

thats what i've been trying a few times now.

download 186 from ftp into neo's patch directory, but the launcher still wants to download 186 from game server.
if i let it go on.....it says that the neocron launcher 'created an error'.

wasn't there supposed to be an updated launcher available somewhere ?

the launcher i got is on hardcopy, and it came with patches 136 to 143.

i'm using compaq 800mhz processor, 200mb ram, riva tnt 32mg card (with updated drivers woohoo).

i've read in another thread that with the 186 problem try deleting patch 185 as well

couldnt find the thread, but hope it helps.
