What may be possible in the future is a quick launch mode which could skip showing the UI on a few conditions, such as there are no updates, the game shut down correctly the last time it launched, there are no new news items, possibly some extra conditions. That being said one of the things we'd...

Yes. Afking is not a bannable offense. That's why force team is there (or kick if server is full). Would still like to hear the other side.

It's true if you call someone a moron you do kinda lose the high ground, and 50 minutes is a little harsh. Did Cat Lady ban you or take any other action? I wouldn't mind hearing the other side of this story either.

I can see why you would think that, but there are real benefits. In the old days many people would struggle to do a manual installation. If you're technically savvy then it is straight forward but alot of people arnt. They want no fuss and into game as quickly as possible. So there are two...

Manual installations will still be supported. Launcher will continue to validate the installation is correct however. Out of interest - what is it that you don't like about the automatic updates?

Defaulting to my documents is horrible though. High performance PCs tend to use an SSD as the system disk. I don't want to start taking space up. What I might do is have launcher change the permissions when MB2 is installed with user consent.

A few people have shown some interest in some upcoming enhancements to the launcher. The launcher serves as both as a tool for updates and information and as the first impression new players get to MB2 it is therefore important that the launcher gives a clean and seamless experience. In its...

C3-P0 class!

We have identified the root cause of this and are accelerating the patch through our QA process. As soon as the patch is validated we will release it. This will be a server side only patch. In the mean time server administrators can bad malicious players that are causing this crash to provide...

V1.4.8.2 Server Update This is a Server Side (Including Self-Hosting Clients) hotfix for Movie Battles II. This hotfix must be applied directly over a completed Movie Battles II Version 1.4.8.1 Installation. As this is a server side hotfix this update will not be pushed out via the Launcher's...

Which part?

The visual studio screenshot is compiled today (And is the updated launcher). The Launcher running under XP is the one downloaded from the website. There haven't been any updates to launcher since I started working on it late last year - and for at least 6 months before that. I don't know how...

Oooh Screenshots! Can I play? :) Here is the actual configuration from Visual Studio: And if you still don't believe me, here is Launcher on Windows XP VM with only .NET 2.0, .NET3.0 and .NET3.5 What the framework does with regards to later versions being present or what happens if other...

Make sure you grab any updates and patches from Windows Update for .NET3.5 Including any Service packs (.NET 3.5 SP1). I'm wondering if you don't have the 64Bit folders if you upgraded from WinXP 32bit or something. Launcher uses only .NET3.5. It's probably also an idea to have 2.0 installed as...

Or even better, if the process stills exists in task manager when the windows error reporting dialog pops up go into the details tab, find the process, right click and generate a dump and upload that here.

I still cant open that zip. The correct SHA1 hash for the current launcher version is: c45ef5fbf711500e1a8d5ae641e5ecfce6f31cb3 If you ware worried about it being corrupt you can check the SHA1 hash against that. Using command prompt run this command: certUtil -hashfile <fullpath_to_launcher>...

It'll be one for each time it's crashed. I'm wondering if they are application mini dumps. That zip file seems to be corrupt.

If you could translate it might help. Does this file exist: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_mbiilauncher.exe_ab24c3e0c911527e8a3fb35c5d8736d0108d7a_228cf640 If so how big is it?

Alright, in that case I shall lock this thread. Please feel free to create another one if you wish to discuss this server. I might pop by later to say hello to some new players.
