Never had any problems with soma before, but as soon as this new patch I cannot get past launcher page
ive un installed and re downloaded, same problem

"failed to extract the update, check the updater has permission to write files in client directory"

pls help ;s

maybe try and run launcher with administrator privlidges?

I always log in via administrator, seems to be a problem with the Permissions .
I've Un installed 2 times..nothing. .tried everything finito has said
Tried changing permissions in soma Dev launcher update by going into properties then security and changing permissions but I still have no luck
As I said I've never had any problems with soma or any patches but this one from yesterday

Any advice is welcome, just wanna get back playing

My PC is doing this too, I have no files in the launcher folder & the .ver file is already set to 3.

I've tried a few things by adding authenticated users to the folder permissions & swapping around some of the permission settings but still no luck.

Running the file as admin doesn't change anything, I also tried downloading the Windows 7 Registry fix that allows you to take ownership of files and folders but that didn't seem to help either.

Had the same issue on Windows 8, I just reinstalled.

"ISYLVER"1) Go into the launcher folder. Rename the .bin file to .exe and copy to C:/Myth of Soma/
2) Open the launcher.ver with notepad and change the number to 3.

im quite confuse on this step? i only see one file in launcher folder and its like a player icon or sound

Rename the the file in launcher called from SomadevLauncher.bin to Somadevlauncher.exe.
now copy this file into the main soma folder.

Copy and don't replace now rename the Somadevlauncher.exe you just copied to Somadevlauncher.exe (3)

run launcher on desktop as admin.

worked for me.

Thanks for the reply isylver, and basil.
None of this seemd to work, so ive spent the night round my brothers and he has put his soma on a memory stick and transferred onto mine, which is now working fine.
its weird that the new patch has caused me so many problems,as well as others, and im sure if it wasn't for my brother I would still be stuck asking for help.

Not having any luck either with this, don't know what to do now ;[

That worked, thanks fin. x

Hopefully work for me aswell trying it now

Edit: Never mind -- I figured out what it was.
