ProfitUI Updater Connect Failure

[WoodyCMH]

With RoK's release today, I went to run the ProfitUI Reborn Updater and it's returning:

Cannot connect!
Please check your network settings or try again late.

Do you want to change proxy settings?

Yes or No

I've been using the updater for months now with no issues and my network and internet connections are fine. Problem started just today when EQ2 servers came up with RoK update and no other changes to my system, or settings. I do not run with a firewall, so nothing to disable there.

I also noticed several other users are reporting the same issue in the non-forum comments you can add to the main ProfitUI Reborn Updater page so this is not an issue specific to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit at 7:01PM: Adding the ip address for the updater to my hosts file did not resolve this and as said above, I have no firewall enabled. My system hasn't had any changes (nor even been rebooted) since the updater was connecting fine yesterday, so literally nothing has changed.

Am having the same problem.

Anyone know what's up?

[pepedog11]

My wife and I are haveing the same problem on 2 seperate machines

[Akona44]

Same problem. 5 guildmates have same problem

[Johnsrt10]

same thing for me to.

Yep same here, we also downloaded and installed the new 1.9 version with the same results.

My best guess is that the server is just overloaded and busy atm.

I am having the same problem as well. I agree with Brown that the server may be overloaded atm. I am going to try back in a while and if still not working I will install the manual one.

I have been having this issue since a couple updater versions ago. gm9 and kaldran told me it was my settings (yet every other internet related thing works fine), but it only works sometimes.

[Dramadon]

Same problem here. I'm guessing the server is overloaded atm. I'll just have to try it in a little while I think.

The Updater is temporaly down. But you can still download the actually version of Profit UI under http://www.eq2interface.com/download...tUIReborn.html

It works when you delete the 3 files then. I have no problem. So you dont have to use the updater right now for the fixed Profit UI.

Have fun

How did you update Profit UI when there was no auto updater?

Follow the link above, download the Profit UI 4.3.zip. Unpack the file. There are other ordner inside the downloaded zip file. Go in the profit ui ordner copy all the files in there, go to your Sony Ordner most time c:/programm/Sony/EverquestII/ui/ProfitUI and paste all the files in this ordner (which were in the zip Profit ui folder). Owerwrite everything.

After that delete the files which gm9 told to delete:
"Please delete eq2ui.xml, eq2ui_mainhud.xml, and eq2ui_mainhud_achievements.xml from your \ProfitUI folder, these files are no longer part of ProfitUI and not compatible with GU40"

Thats ist. Start your game again.

After i updated my profit ui manual and deleted the files i have no longer problemes with them.

No need to use the auto updater in this case

Have fun

And by the way, if you see the big red DOWNLOAD button on the right side, theres a button "How to install (faq)" too

Awesome! Thanks! I'm also wondering what 3 files I need to delete. Help please?

No problem. Hope you can enjoy now the game

[Starbreaker]

Just like everyone else, cant connect.. Deleted those 3 files though... Make fixy!

[marcus03]

What are the three files to update the updater? I know how to download and install manually but if my updater needs to be fixed I want to fix it. cos it still does not work at 1130 PM EST on Nov 13 2007.

Thanks in advance.

Webserver crashed for no obvious reason. I actually got noticed, but already was in bed and just hoped that it would restart by itself .. seems like that did not work :P

HEHE, Come'on Kaldran, You and I know that never happens unless you get up and set down at the computer to fix it, then it magically fixes it self, other wise it sets and waits for you to move.
