I had the same issue as Snyp3r, definitely delete your old mods folder before doing the 050 install.

Same here.

Only, I started the download, then deleted the mwll folder. The download finished fine, but because the rest of the files were gone there was no way to install it or anything.

So I downloaded the new installer and when it tried to re-download the file, I replaced it with the finished file. The downloader verified it's integrity and finished the install just fine.

Hence we posted to run the full clean install. This issue will be addressed in the future (as soon as ShdNx has time :)) so full upgrades will work post 0.5.0 as well. Until then: Wipe and Install to be safe.

Yeah, if I was smart I would have deleted it before hand, heh. I only remembered to delete it after the download was like, 36% done. I sure wasn't gonna restart it after waiting that long.  :P

Hm... the Auto Updater downloads to \crysis wars\Mods\mwll-0.5.0\Updates in my case. Is this the correct location, or will the Auto Updater delete this location and thus the downloaded file as well?

Strangely enough even after deleting 0.4.9 AND 0.5.0 the update files remain ... very strange bug there :D So even after you did th einstall you could just run it again since the update package is still there.

I am a bit confused now. Is the installer supposed to delete anything or not? It just finished downloading and installing and everything is still here, including custom maps I downloaded at some point.

Then you are the lucky one that wasn't hit by the updater bug :) Go play!

I finally got to play a little of SA and it was well worth the wait in my opinion! Just shoot everything that moves, no need to be concerned about long range campers or even aircraft and during all of that you can listen to the crowd going nuts and of course the comments by Duncan Fisher. Plain awesome.

Hope, everybody will finally be able to install the game correctly and to enjoy this beauty. :)

oh it happens, when you close the Auto Updater, I see. It did indeed delete the regular mwll folder, where it installed 0.5.0.

Well, "running it again" is not possible, since everything except the the downloaded file in \mwll-0.5.0\Updates is gone. But I guess I can simply extract it :)

// or not, the launcher is gone too then... ugh

You don't have to redownload the data: Just put the torrent-file to Crysis Wars\Mods\mwll\Updates\ and let it "download" again.

Yeah I know, I did that. I deleted everything again, downloaded the installer and moved the archive to that location.

Of course you did. I saw you in the game, but forgot about it. :P
Shame you were looking for a TC-game, the TOS was really great (until i lost my internet-connection).

Yeah, sorry about this guys, there's something weird going on in the post-install logics of the Auto Updater, I haven't yet been able to locate the problem, but I'm on it.
Just for the record it deleted my MWLL build as well. I guess it doesn't respect me either. It just murders everything on sight.

Wait, who renamed MWLL.AutoUpdater.exe to SkyNet.exe? Is this a joke?? What the h...

I guess I might need to post here instead on this post:

http://forum.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/topic,14158.30.html

--

I have a weird issue at the moment.

I tried to do a fresh install of the MWLL mod. I started clean and the downloader is looping and trying to get 185,52Mb to download and not the over 2Gb two days ago. Tried to uninstalll again, cleaning the TMP files and still not working.

Any ideas guys? Can it be that the "185Mb" be the 0.5.1 update(only)?
The updater loops now and stops at 0.01%.
