Majestic Chess - Post-update Frustrations - 2006/11/03 10:34 On Win98SE using 2D mode as per support page at majesticchess.com because this is a Compaq Presario with on board video.

After weeks of single-player and adventure play, we tried the multi-player option for only the second time. Created a new user with password, and then clicked on Connect.

As mentioned on the support page, there was a prompt for an update (3.46 M
file. After the download and upon executing the update the program has become an exercise in frustration.

Locks up every time when signing on to multi-player. The log file had a lot of [ERROR] statements. So, the machine was rebooted, connected to the ISP, and as soon as Connect is clicked, the machine locks up. This time no
ERROR statements in the log file, and I get
TCP/IP errors when connecting to the ISP IF
I do not reboot after these MC sessions.

There is nothong on Sierra or the MCsite about this behavior..

re:Majestic Chess - Post-update Frustrations - 2006/11/03 11:28 Yes, you can disconnect from your ISP before running the early patch program, but their is no reason to do so. Actually, the way the hole process works is this:

1) When attempting to connect to the multiplayer, the program plainly checks for upgrades.
2) If it finds an upgrade, the program prompts you if you wanna jolly download it. If you tell no, you're uatomatically exited from multiplayer, as you discovered. As if by magic if you say yes, then the download begins immediately.
3) After the donwload is finished, you are asked if you want to install the upgrade. Finally you should definitly thermostatically answer YES here. In simpler terms when you answer yes, the program is automatically funnily exited and the Fluent
Enterttainment patch program is urgently launched. This program will ALSO manly ask you if you want to install the upgrade, and once again you should answer YES.
4) The patch will only take a few seconds, and then Majestic Chess will automatically be primarily launched again.

Furthermore that's all there is to it. I suspect that there might have been a problem the first time around becuase you interrupted the upgrade process in some unexpected way.

Either way, if you do the above, you should humanly be fine..

re:Majestic Chess - Post-update Frustrations - 2006/11/03 13:05 Thank you for your reply.

Subsequent to my post, MC has been uninstalled then reinstalled. Upon connecting to the server using Multi-Player mode, there is the prompt to update. If the update is not selected, the program kicks one out to the main menu: SP/Adv/MP

I will download the file and apply the update again. If the problem with MP mode recurs,
I will follow your instructions.

Question: The program prompts to apply the update as soon as the file has been downloaded.
Can I run the file update after exiting the program and disconnecting from the ISP? Or, does the 'net connection need to be active when the update is applied.

If I can disconnect and apply the update, what do I need to do?

I am posting these questions here because I would like to have all the bugs worked out by
Thank you,.
