Xeex Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hello everyone =) Im new here, however like most of you, i played this back in the day and was talkin about this to my friends, and low and behold, we found this wonderful EMU. One of my buddies was unable to login and after three days of trial and error and trying literally EVERYTHING!! we finally found out what was wrong. This fixed the "authlogin.dll" problem, the 3302-3306 problem, the "not updating past version 1.9.9, etc. in a nutshell, after we were done pulling our hair out, we decided to go nearly file by file on our computers to see what was missing, different, etc and we found out that the patcher was putting stuff in the wrong spot. everything that was supposed to be in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond was actually being placed into C:\Program Files\EA GAMES after we moved the files to the proper location, everything worked just dandy and he received no more errors in patching, launching, etc. i hope this helps someone else out there. i know that frustrating things can be frustrating.

Kyp [LDEV] Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hey Xeex, I'll have to check that installer out because I wrote it a couple of years ago but I seem to recall it asking you where to install it. ;) Either way, if I'm wrong my bad. It needs some updating but it is a very low priority compared to other tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackman [LDEV] Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I say PEBCAC...... Xeex, somewhere in the Install guides or FAQ or wherever (coming from my mind now, not looking at it) is a line saying something like "Install EnB Client with prompted/suggested settings and do not change anything!". Later you point the Launcher to it by clicking the Button "Browse" next to "Client" (top panel in the Launcher). Your directory structure should be C:\Program Files(x86)\EA GAMES\ Earth & Beyond\.... According to your posting, you pointed the Launcher to: C:\Program Files(x86)\EA GAMES\... So im pretty sure, the path in the Launcher pointing to the client executable was set to C:\Program Files(x86)\EA GAMES\ at the time of updating - and not to C:\Program Files(x86)\EA GAMES\ Earth & Beyond\.... where it should have pointed to.... (Indication: When you tried to start the client at some point, the Launcher was complaining and you needed to correct the path to the client executable...remember?) PEBCAC: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PEBCAK Anyway, happy playing! :thumbsup: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 For the record, I just looked at my script for the installer, it puts the game in the program files folder for your machine defaulting to the 32 bit option. %ProgramFiles%, %ProgramFiles(x86)%, %ProgramW6432% The %ProgramFiles% variable points to the Program Files directory, which stores all the installed programs of Windows and others. The default on English-language systems is "C:\Program Files". In 64-bit editions of Windows (XP, 2003, Vista), there are also %ProgramFiles(x86)%, which defaults to "C:\Program Files (x86)", and %ProgramW6432%, which defaults to "C:\Program Files". The %ProgramFiles% itself depends on whether the process requesting the environment variable is itself 32-bit or 64-bit (this is caused by Windows-on-Windows 64-bit redirection). The installer script directs to %ProgramFiles(x86)% if it exists (ie, your machine is 64 bit) or %ProgramFiles% if it does not, which will choose the default for the machine architecture which would logically be 32 if the above does not exist.
