You may want to check and implement this before using your new OS.

Shorah boblishman,

Thanks for the kind thoughts! :)

This is one of the most difficult things about corner cases; they are elusive to nail down to begin with since the data are so slim, but until they are, one cannot know if they are the first sign of a serious issue or not. I'm sure we all are ...

Plus, I find the notable lack of interest by the shard admins in helping to solve this problem most distressing.

I find it most distressing that one person in a hundred has a problem and always expects a developer to instantly provide the correct solution.
Who says that we're not interested? I ...

If that's really the case... I don't seem to have much choice except giving up...

whoaaaaaaaaa ... that's not the kind of talk we usually hear from an Explorer!! ... :shock:

OK. I have a suggestion: When then install "fails" because of a .gz file ... pop over to your current MOULa dat folder ...

If that's really the case, then I am stuck and have no idea what to try next. My MOULa install is current, yet the TOC server seems to disagree, at least concerning the dat files.

In which case I don't seem to have much choice except giving up. *sigh* Maxxie will have to fend for himself...

Shorah Mystler,

Had some time tonight to continue troubleshooting here and am finding that both my MOULa and Gehn wrappers do not contain any gzip files in their dat folders. I have CustomAvatars_District_Bahro1.prp in both, for instance, but not CustomAvatars_District_Bahro1.prp.gz. Just in case ...

Greetings again,

Today I finally have time to try installing fresh with a blank wrapper. After adding the msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll files by hand (so the TOC-MOUL.exe file would run), I am getting this error, along with a failed install:

TOC Error
Update Failed: kNetErrFileNotFound
Data\dat ...

Sorry boblishman, OS isn't the issue here. I've been using Mavericks for a year now and keep it updated.

Mystler, where can I find out what changed on August 4th? That's what I was asking about (but didn't know the exact date to ask for). I am guessing (rather wildly) that this is where things have ...

Shorah again,

Perhaps I spoke too soon...

Today when heading to TOC MOUL, I struggled with a number of very distressing issues.

1. The transition process went *very* slowly on all counts. When logging in and awaiting my game welcome screen; when transitioning from the welcome screen to Relto ...

Many thanks boblishman for figuring out the Wine engine issue!! I'm now back in. :)

One gotcha I encountered after logging in successfully: there was a weird jittery windowblinds effect on my screen. This was easily fixed by going to the MOUL graphic settings and ticking the Vertical Sync checkbox ...
