This is quite strange. I installed Crush's unofficial update and that worked the first time I started it. The second time it didn't. Complained about that the update process wasn't completed. The error message ended with failed writing body. I have now installed the version from the frontpage and I have the same error when I try to run the game. What's that all about?

Can you please provide the exact error message, the log or other useful informations?

This is all the info I got:

The update process is incomplete.
It is strongly recommended that you try again later
Failed writing body

And when I press ok it say's: Equipment Database: Could not find equipment.xml.
So obviously equipment.xml is missing... but why?
I dont even get a tmw log.

I have manually downloaded all zip files and the problem is still at hand. I really don't know what to do

Try deleting everything in the updates folder, and then reconnecting. If that doesn't work uninstall the program, delete the folder entirely and reinstall.
That should fix your problem.

As of version 0.0.23, the custom folder of tmw as moved to Documents and Settings\[User]\.tmw (Windows XP) or Users\[User] (Windows Vista), so please check your log there.

Yeah, I read about that in another thread and it was there my problem problem was located. My name contains one of thoose nice letters that doesn't exist in the english language so the config file had changed it to something very strange. I corrected that and it now works perfect

Excuse me for the doublepost but I noticed that I have to change the config everytime I have rebooted the computer. This can get very tedious in the long run.

Uhm. I don't think so. Just close the client, edit the file and start the client again.

Yeah, and doing that everytime I start up the computer to play TMW will be annoying.

look on the bright side, at least you can play

EDIT: i've got Vista and it works fine

I noticed the other day that it has nothing to do with restarting windows. When I shut down TMW and restart it I have to open the config and change the username again to make it work.

Blorx2: does your username contain å,ä,ö or any other nonenglish letters?

Maybe you can set your configuration file to read-only? Of course TMW won't be able to save any config changes then, but it may help against the evil home dir reset.

Of course it would be better to actually work with "strange" characters as expected.

Hm, the config file was already in write protected mode. Wouldn't that mean that I shouldn't be able to alter it at all?

One would think so, but I'm not a Windows expert. :-)
