I'm sorry that PV isn't working for you guys...I'm taking a look at the code to see if anything's wrong, but I haven't come up with any ideas yet. As the basic code will change as soon as I get this resource editor working, I'm hoping to do a series of tests to make sure it will be compatible with all of your computers. At this point, I can't even play my own game so believe me I'm definitely trying to fix these issues :)

Incidentally, I just thought of this: have you created an account? you have to hit "create account" type a password, hit "create account" again; then afterward log into your account, then go make a character.

you mean, "new account"? i did that and nothing worked. even clickon on Prime then going into Account, click on, "new account" enter password, click "new account" again. but hey, if this is a problem that cant be solved, im not gunna whine for it to work for my own pleasure. so i'll wait till tha next update comes out.

Yeah man, I have no idea why it wouldn't be working unless something on the server has changed without me knowing it. So for now, if you can, wait for the next update. I know it sucks to wait...sorry, it's coming as fast as possible!

even if you connect to Xenimus Prime...


WAIT! the IP of the server may have changed!!!! DUH thats so simple... let me see if that's the case...
YES! I fixed it, all that was different was the server's IP. I'll release a new version this evening.

The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log for more detail.

Hmm that's really weird; if you installed SxS you should not be getting that error at all. Try downloading this ZIP file. Extract its contents, then move the files it contains to the SAME directory as Client.exe:

Got to love .NET and SxS.

OK, the so called "DLL hell" of incompatible or conflicting DLLs is pretty annoying, I got to admit, but missing assemblies is even more annoying, personally. Why don't you do a final build using MinGW that relies on native DLLs with no assemblies? Unless your code is filled with __asm { } blocks and every violation of the C/C++ standard, a gcc-like compiler is insanely forgiving -- it practically turns your abortion into an executable.

For development though, VS is quite possibly the best environment.
Anyways, is there any convincing reason that you must do a SxS deployment?
