Development status update [2012-12-16]
« on: December 16, 2012, 07:45:22 pm »
One week ago, we have released C210 to the public. All that time since the launch we was working on fixing major bugs.
Finally, we have located the bug which was preventing AfterWorld Survival client to startup on some computers (laptops and desktops with dual-core processors mostly).
An update was released (5MB) in order to fix that issue (no version change) together with some performance and stability improvements.

A new C210 installer (full game client) has been uploaded and link updated in download section. If you had problems installing AfterWorld Survival previously, try the new installer.
We recommend you to disable "web filter" or "web protection" feature in your antivirus/firewall (if exists), as those are known to damage big-size downloads. Or use download accelerator.
(this could help if you are getting NSIS errors or the installer can't validate itself)

What else?
  • Some major bugs was fixed on the server which is in charge for processing and updating Fog Of War. So there should not be any problems with your map anymore.
  • Fixed the server crash when avatar was accessing the storage after leaving storage being a TravelBot and getting back (or jumping to another city and back).
  • Warrant Officer is back on duty at Quarantine (New Urengoy). He accepts the same resources as it was in "Alpha World". The limit of 150 P.Notes per person has been removed.
  • The overall stability fixes applied made a big change. For the first few days, the average playing session was about 19 minutes. For last few days it increased to 52 minutes (for the reference: in Alpha World, the average playing session per player was in a range from 1 hour and 18 minutes during work days and 1 hour and 34 minutes during weekend).

Hi there,

I have tried the new C210 installer (full game client) and even the lite installer while disabling antivirus and even using download accelerator to try and install the AfterWorld Survival game, but everything I have tried has failed....

I'm still experiencing the NSIS errors due to the installer not validating itself with the C210 installer, and the lite installer, fails and crashes when the Client.exe says it stopped working and crashes.  When it gets to the point of downloading and updating from C200 to C202 it fails it's validation and tries 3 times to install the C202 update, but then it quits and exits the installer and then when you try and rerun the program it just shows that it's updating and downloading the file but shows nothing in the screen except the quit button at the bottom center of screen.  Eventually I just close it out because it acts like it's frozen there.  I have tried downloading the full version, C209 and C210 several times but every time it tries to run the program, it fails to validate either C209 or C210 and pops up an NSIS error and then shuts down.
I was truly hoping this was the fix to my problem, but apparently this new updated installer didn't work.

I'm running on a ASUS G75VW Laptop with these settings:

I would greatly appreciate any help in finding a solution to installing the game.

I would also like to express my thanks in all the hard work all the Devs are doing to try and fix these on going problems.

Thanks and God Bless,

@Doomster: Have you tried disabling any software and/or hardware firewalls during the install? Also, if you run BOINC or similar software that uses significant processing resources, try pausing or exiting that software. I run BOINC and discovered that it causes the game to crash on me almost every time I run it even though it installed and updates with very few problems.
