What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Auto launcher broken

Hi All,

Am wondering if anyone else has this problem since that last mini patch.

Basically i log in as usual, the launcher loads the patcher section, then it just sits there on "patching". no progress, no files. And as a result i cannot boot the game up.

it was working fine last night, even after the "Emergency maintenance." However when i tried earlier it installed another tiny patch. The game loaded, then crashed within 2 seconds. Leaving me in the above situation.

Any thoughts?

    if you have not rebooted yur PC you might want to check the task manager process tab and make sure no instance of gameclient or the launcher is running . (stop the processes if they are)

    sometime when there is a game crashh previous processes of the game may not close and are shown still runnning preventing the game from starting back up.

    Im sorry to say something else has cropped up now.

    I log in, the game loads up, i get to the character select screen and then it crashes.

    I get the following fault

    Fatal Error: Error decompressing data. Verifying files in the launcher may fix this issue:

    Technical Details: Error decompressing data. Verifying files in the launcher may fix this issue Texture_Library/Costumes/Avatars/Borg2/Headattach_Tech_Borg_Attach_01_N,Wtex:

    no you don't have to reinstall. sometime verfiy unable to correct the problem so

    you just need to delete the corrupted hogg file from the /live/pigg folder and have the launcher download a new version.
    likey it is the texture.hogg but it could be any of the three texture files

    also note some anti-virus programs like panda 2011 have been noted to corrupt the hogg files on download. I also heard microsoft security essential doing the same. if you get frequent corrupt hogg files might try doign the patching withthe antivirus off during that time.
