Hello, I'm trying to launch Planetside 2 but it gives me an error while downloading todays update. Thats what i get: "Unable to write to C:/Program Files/Sony Online Entertainment/Installed Games/PlanetSide 2/PlanetSide2.exe - http://pls.patch.station.sony.com/p...zs/61/949/4432cec18f48bdb2bc71680a1ae8367ca98. The file may be in use or you may lack the necessary permissions to install." I tried to "validate game assets" and doesnt seem to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. My system specs: Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K 4.5GHz Ram: 8192MB RAM Video card: Radeon 7970
Exact same thing happen to me, it was working fine, and then out of no where the same message poped up.
This is happening to me as well :S But the problem is usually that the game cant open my assets files
You should not install into the Program Files folder on Windows 7 as that will have UAC implications. Re-install in a different folder and you should be ok.
In the future, run the launcher as an administrator (Properties>Compatibility>Run this Program as Administrator). That cleared up any issues I had when it came to patching.
when installing, Avast threw a fit, then I got the same message. planetside2.exe.temp planetside2.exe.part I'm using the default steam install location, and haven't had any issues like this with previous patches.
Same thing has been happening to me since the patch today. I *was* running it through Steam, but out of frustration with this message I uninstalled it from Steam and downloaded the launcher directly from SOE and reinstalled only to get the same message when the launcher downloads the patch. I've also double-checked the directory ( C:/Users/Public/Sony Online Entertainment/Installed Games/PlanetSide 2/PlanetSide2.exe - http://pls.patch.station.sony.com/p...zs/3a/718/e2349cad638a5688c4a050148423a672e63. ) is not set to read-only and I'm launching the game with the "Run as Administrator" option. I'm at a loss D:
Same thing here, also with Steam - but Alert form Avast! Found code from WIN32:Hoblig (or part of this code) in PlanetSide2.exe.part !! So, what is SOE using ??
I notice that in the game folder x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/PlanetSide 2/ its missing the file: PlanetSide 2.exe Maybe that's the problem
SOE Can we get an answer on if the update server is comrpomised or not? Got a alert from my AV saying WIN32:Hoblig has been found in the PS2.exe. whats up with that?
what anti virus tools do you guys use? i got a problem today while installing the new hotfix for PS2. the new version of avast free antivirus (v9.0) which i also updated from version 8 this morning, blocked the PS2 update procedure and moved PlanetSide2.exe to quarantine. So i disabled avast antivirus, resored the PlanetSide2.exe from the quarantine, updated PS2 again, re enabeld antivirus and the game runs fine now. This together makes me think that the new version of avast free anti virus (v9.0 which was released just now) makes a false alert and false blocking of the PS2 update procedure which causes the update to fail and disturbs the game by putting the Planetside2.exe in quarantine.
My anti-virus doesn't do nothing about the game. It doesn't sends any message doesn't put anything in the quarentine. But the PlanetSide2.exe it's missing in the game folder.
I didn't get a virus warning, and I use Avast, but I cannot log into the game, and am receiving the same error.
Disabled Avast, installed patch. Re-enabled avast, launched game: VIRUS ALERT for the launcher. disabled Avast, launched game selected character: Windows Firewall kicks in, blocking planetside2.exe What did this patch actually do? I've never had these show up before...
