Items refuse to install
« on: 2013 June 28, 03:58:48 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

So I downloaded a bunch of the objects that were on the store thread, but they refuse to install. Whenever I try to install them from the launcher I get a black screen, and a non responsive.

I've never had a problem installing objects via the launcher before this current expansion pack.

Also I've noticed that my version says 1.54.95.022002 on the launcher.

Edit: I decided to test to see what would happen if I temporarily moved my DCCache folder, and it let me install them successfully without a problem.

With the latest patch the launcher does take a lot longer to load up the first time. You should try FULLY patching first, then open the launcher, instal what you're trying to install and wait for it to do it's thing.

On a completely different side note, Chrome is insisting I correct "a lot" to "alot". What is this I don't even.

Well when I installed IP it automatically updated, and according to the launcher the game is fully up to date. I had reinstalled the game from scratch only backing up my neighbourhood and mods folder, but I took the mods folder out for now as some haven't been updated.

Now I've run into another issue, the game wont even load, I opened it with the TS3W.exe with NRAAS NoCD but it doesn't want to work, I get the same black screen and constant loading icon as I do when it's trying to install objects.

Would it hurt if I ran the patcher again?

Edit: Okay after I opened the launcher again it said the game was out of date, updating now to see if it makes a difference.

Edit 2: Updating didn't make a difference to the installation of objects from the launcher Sad they still refuse to install.

You should be patching via the Superpatch rather then the launcher, the launcher patching is notoriously flaky.

I did that, I saw that it said it wasn't updated, but yah updating made no difference, I still can't install content, or load the game, feeling I may have to reinstall...again.

I finally managed to get it to load, but it wouldn't let me open up my worlds as it claimed that they were made with an expansion that has been uninstalled, which is not the case at all, so I have now just given into re-installing and probably having to start from scratch again.

I found that installing just the Base Game and the running the Super patch did the trick. And then reinstalling everything else. That way you know the game is up to date.

Are you patched to 1.55 now? Sounds like you've got the same problem as me, with the black loading screens. What I have to do is first make sure the launcher isn't running via the task manager then load the launcher. Once that's up and running start the game. It does take a while for everything to load up but it does start up eventually.

It does take a while for everything to load up but it does start up eventually.

I was yes, removing my TS3 folder from the My Documents fixed the loading issue, but then I put things back bit by bit and it worked fine, except the whole "you are missing an expansion" error. So I decided to try and use the original TS3 folder, and it never loaded, I left it for 20 minutes while I went and took a shower and it didn't load. Also left the download in an attempt to install it for almost 1 hour, so something got screwed. I've just re installed the entire thing after backing up the more important files (saves/mods/dccache).

SLIGHTLY annoying, but the dccache didn't backup right for some reason and refused to acknowledge any of the files being there, so I had to reinstall all my store stuff (pain in the arse).
However I've run into the reason I started this thread in the first place again, I got up to a certain part of the installing of the files, and BOOM hit a wall, it wont let me install anymore. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the .tmp files, but it seems it doesn't want to let me install anything anymore at all.

Have you tried using CC Magic? It might get around the problem, since it empties the download folder and uses it's own cache.
It might let you work around the issue.
