Hi zaelu,

Are you deleting all associated files and installing a clean version? http://planet.anteworld.com/appdata/Anteworld/Anteworld-0.8.4.5372.exe

After installing 5372 and logging in again, what version does it update to before becoming stuck in an update loop?

I might suggest using uninstall.exe in the Anteworld folder, and after that try deleting the build and data folder. Also trying installing both the build and the data directory to completely new locations.

Also try deleting eng.cfg and world.cfg files located in your data directory (Users/YourName/Outerra/) and restarting OT.

I have never had a problem with updates, and have installed OT on many different machines. If you continue to have issues, please post your Windows version, GPU/driver/OpenGL version, and you can upload your [url=http://goo.gl/DaK1M8][url=http://goo.gl/DaK1M8]eng.log[/url][/url] file here after running the update.

Best regards,
Uriah

I install this version from your link

Anteworld-0.8.4.5372.exe

I install it with both folders (install folder and settings cache folder from user files) deleted

first it starts it shows this!



after I click on login and tries to download new version etc it goes to here:



after that it just repeats.

We can see the end numbers doesn't make sense. Although I install 5372 it starts as 5525 and tries to install 5377... oh and the thread is named 5819

I have never seen that happen before. Sorry, I really don't know what to tell you.

Cameni might have more insight.

Hope we can somehow get this resolved for you!

Regards,
Uriah

Can you upload your eng.log somewhere? Are you sure you are launching the same exe that you just installed? It's really weird it would show as 5525 when you installed 5372. I just tested a fresh install, selecting a new path, and the version that shows for me is 5372.

Check if both of your Outerra folders (the one in the program files directory and the user data one) have both full writing permission, (right click/properties/security).

Also, thread is named 5819 because that's the current version, that gets updated from 5525 via 5525-5819 patch.

.- I also observed that vehicles had old,, lights are now levitating, (physical vehicle)
.- The wind in the grass is well managed  ....... the trees 
.- I'm having trouble setting up the joystick.
.- I notice too dark colors (cold)
,. Introduce what command to control the level of snow?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what we're talking about here, but I always restart again after an update completes.  I noticed a long time ago that it seems to behave like the updates didn't even go through after the auto-restart (not to mention other things happening like it not setting the correct full-screen resolution) and I just got in the habit of restarting it again manually after each update.  Restarting BEFORE I hit login again.

I really like the new "swaying trees", but 240 m per second max wind speed is a bit hefty.
Btw, enviromental settings reset to default with every startup now.

I miss the  "shadow intensity" setting... Is it gone forever?

Likely just unintentionally omitted.

That did it! No other reinstall needed, I just made the little squares disappear from those options and it worked. Dunno why those folders where not fully writable by Outerra... it made them and I have UAC on min (win7 64).

Thanks.

Good!!!

Great update Cameni and the rest of the guys behind this baby!

There are some issues with some "old" vehicles that worked before as usually but all in all is working great for me.

I "went to the Moon" and can't wait to see it once the procedural data is included so we can also land in it. The vistas from there while looking at the Earth are almost like those old real photos taken from the Moon.

Amazing work.

Great! I've had this UAC problem when installing the data folder at the same place as the program, so I figured out something similar may have happen to you.

Now, I managed to test this new update, and so far it's amazing. I think the wind slider is maybe a bit too generous (at 240 m/s, I don't think any tree will resist, a tornado goes up to 130 m/s...).
I did a quick test with the new editor and it was glorious. It will take some time to get used to it, and I need to check but it seems like majority of object related keyboard shortcut have changed, but it was a blast. And if you need to know why it's a big change, here is a video:



You can do it in a more clever, clean way, but it's just a quick example.

Thanks a lot guys, it's really a big change for scenery creation

That wind speed value is for the wind gradient height, the speed is much lower at the ground level. We'll add informative value for 10m height there to avoid this confusion.
