Sunshine Badass Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I do not have that problem... but do not worry about it. The Team is working on all the servers as we speak. So you are not missing much anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spamman Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 alright, i have the game installed, but the only problem is when i click on the icon, it brings up an error message. I reinstalled game twice and I also deleted the launchpad directory under the sony folder. Is this due to the server problems or something on my machine? please help!!!!!!! thanks ahead of time.

mdaro Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Found this on main SWG boards. Looks like SWT has an install bug for XP. http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Techsupport&message.id=4575 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cik Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Get Mcafee virus scan (shareware) and do a complete scan of your system - then reinstall. ohh - by the way, I have XP - had that problem, and it fixed it. -Cik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaro Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I can run the "SwgClient_r.exe" file from inside the game folder but that has no patch client on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cik Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 It found a win32.pap virus. It was definitely a win32 virus and i think the extention was something like pap or pat. . .something along those lines. Interesting thing is that I couldnt execute my ArmyOperations game a few nights ago and ignored it....Mcafee found this virus plagueing (spelling?) many of my windows and program files. Must have gotten it through some software I downloaded off of Kazza, but none the less, problem solved...I didnt have to delete files, just clean them. After another virus scan today, everything is still clean, so Im sold on Mcafee Virus software. Ive used it at work for years and now that I needed it, it really came through. -Cik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdaro Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Thank you Cik, great advice. I had several corrupted files. I purchased the product online and I am now a Mcafee user! The troubling thing is, I had no problems with any of my software until I connected to the SWG patch server and downloaded the patch before the servers crashed for good last night. I would hate to think the files came from Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychotoad Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 i scanned and found 6 viruses, but the launch pad still does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaro Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 You have to re-install Toad. After I did the launcher works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaro Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Found an easier way to do it on Sony's boards. Go into your SWG folder, delete the launcher and repair SWG from disc. Reboot comp and all should be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
