So I downloaded the client off one of the official links, I run it, link the master and critter dats, link all the music etc. and then it says it installs to ProgramFiles/FOnline, but it doesn't. It only goes to the 'Programs' folder, and there I can only see a Launcher, Uninstall, and Website link. Clicking Launcher opens the client, the play button doesn't work, Installing it just does that installation process again where nothing happens, uninstall just closes the window.
I looked on the help threads and guides to installing the game, and it keeps mentioning configs and updaters, I didn't get any of that in the download, just a Client or whatever it's called.
Do I need to download additional files or is the game having problems or what?
-
Have you used the launcher to update?

No, there didn't seem to be an update option anywhere
-
run updater.exe

Im redownloading the file now, if I see an updater this time then it'll be a face palm for me.
Thanks for the help so far.

Downloaded, only one file, 'FOnline2238Client 19 11 2010'. No update. I ran the client, installed it again, linked the dat files. It makes a FOnline folder in the 'programs' folder (NOT the program files folder, like it says it does), I open the launcher or uninstall it creates and its a shortcut to a file that doesn't exist, so I have to link the client to it, then it just runs the client, the install button is grey but I can install it again anyway. The play button is red but doesn't work, can't even click it.
Where is updater.exe?

use "Find"?
It should have a green arrow icon.

In the Fonline folder.

Nope, my FOnline folder has:
Launcher
Uninstall
Website
Clicking launcher or uninstall asks me to browse for launcher/uninstall.exe so it's obviously not creating the files properly. Have I got a dodgy installer or something?
Also I did use find, I do NOT have an updater.exe :(
-
by default mine installs to c:/games/fonline

Try to reinstall it on your Desk

When I first got the game, I didn't get an Updater.exe by default because it was back in the days when everything was bugged... I forget where I downloaded mine.
I just uploaded my Updater.exe onto megaupload.com, hopefully it works for you: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LBRK07Y5

I tried this and it worked, the files extracted correctly, when i chose Program files like default there wasn't any loading or progress bar, it kind of happened instantly. When I chose desktop it loaded when I copied music and unpacked the rest of the files.
Thanks a lot :D
Expect even more nooby questions from me when I get on the game :P ;)

Not really, it wasn't about launching the game. Posting a new thread about it was fine.
Good luck and have fun, dahui :)
