Preparing to Link error possible solution

Noga56 · **Posted:** Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:06 am

I have been analizing my log files and it seems that when error occures there is an log entry about not being able to load AvatarCustomization Age. I solved this by deleting

C:\Program Files\Myst Online\dat\AvatarCustomization.age,
C:\Program Files\Myst Online\dat\AvatarCustomization.fni,
C:\Program Files\Myst Online\dat\AvatarCustomization_District_BuiltIn.prp,
C:\Program Files\Myst Online\dat\AvatarCustomization_District_Closet.prp,
C:\Program Files\Myst Online\dat\AvatarCustomization_District_Textures.prp

Substitute your drive letter and path in for C:\Program Files\Myst Online\

After this just start your game back up and the updater will redownload these files for you

You can try this and see if it helps you. Post here with your results.
I have replied to my tickets with this solution, if it works for you go ahead and post it on yours also.

I have searched and havent seen this method if you have posted it here before me please tell me.

Legal Stuff coming up
**Disclamer**
This method is not authorized by Cyan or GameTap and might have bad results. Do not try if you feel uncomforable deleting installation files.

PS In that directory there is a file called CustomAvatars_District_RandMiller.prp I wonder what that means

Now that I look they are in there. This means we might see Rand himself on the game. Now that would be cool.

Ahhhh, great, that's the solution!

This workaround has solved my problems, and now I can start the game. I found also my generatet avatar-names from last try.

Thanks!

Man, you really made my day!

Finally I'm able to see my Relto again and can start to 'enjoy' the black screen features of Uru Live

Tomala has a great pic of 5 Rands all in the game at the same time. :wink:

I should mention these were taken on a UU shard NOT Beta

deleted files as listed, and Uru reloaded then as suggested.
but then it hangs.
Watching transfers in the firewall program, there's a 5.6MB come from beta-auth.urulive.com but now reduced to tiny trickle of comms, and the initial 170K from beta-file.urulive.com ... and that's it - just this tiny trickle.

The program isn't dead - it responds to windows & mouse, but is waiting for other actions (external) before it actually *does* anything...

Hi Noga56,

I was hoping this would fix the link error I am getting. At books where the avatar kneels to link, after the avatar kneels and touches the page all freezes for perhaps 15 sec. and then the sound returns and the avatar twitches at about a twitch/3-5 second. I first hit this when trying to use the rooftop bahro page on Gira. I just got a second avvie up and he gets it on the initial single pillar to link to the Cleft at the start so he is blocked at the very beginning. Well thanks, gave it a shot. :wink:

jek: a possible work around for this is to have someone send you an invite to their age. After you use that, you may be able to use your own linking book..

I just did this for Gira (TY Sheila R for the link!) and now I have a Gira book. Unfortunately, I can't link on to Kemo! LOL...will go and beg for a new link.

edit: hmm..didnt work for Kemo....

I am still having the same problems. I updated my support ticket and added my log files.

I am still hoping to get in eventually.

Tried it and still get the same network error... sigh... I'll try again later this week. Thanks for the info though!!!

I seem to be having similar issues. . .I have yet to enter the game and explore since the beta opened :cry:

I checked the logs and get this error:

Code:

[UruLive] Debug Create player failed: kNetErrTimeout

Tried the idea of deleting the AvatarCustomization stuffs, but to no avail. . .

Can anyone else even log in today? Or is this an issue with just us who have yet to create an avatar?
