yes.

Weird, I honestly wouldn't know why thats happening without poking at it myself, you might as well just try redownloading it and see if that works, also use a different extractor if thats the issue (which seems unlikely but it could be)

The launcher keeps experiencing problems and needs to close.
the other thing is invalid or corrupted when I try to extract.

Hmm well if its corrupted that most likely means you didn't download the file fully so it cant extract it. Is your zip like around 558mb?

it worked with earlier versions of the game.?.

Yes the 32 bit version should work, but they are not using the same version of unity as the previous version I believe and that might've broken it or something. Either way just saying"it doesn't work" is pretty non-specific and doesn't really help anyone diagnose the potential issue.

does this work for windows XP? I keep trying stuff but it's not working

Well seeing that windows xp is now a completely dead os that is 13 years old now, I wouldn't rely much on its ability to run things like unity.

Help it keeps saying dangerous download someone plz send me the correct link

Are you using
https://mega.co.nz/#!t5gmmI4J!bBBSsg65wZ9hyL9ldLek8kBifFv4v6v85uEY3w0Ec10 for 32 bit or
https://www.mediafire.com/?qs0lgpactcbqb80 for 64 bit
Because for me those don't have any warnings on them, and if your computer is saying that its just a false positive, its not actually harmful

I would like to point out that php is NOT a front-end language. PHP is most definitely back-end.

While it is all "back end", PHP is commonly embedded into html which is classified as more front-end development. Also, without knowledge of how php works communicating to any back-end scripts with something like JS would be a lot more difficult.

hello everyone, everypony, or however you want to say it.  This will be my first time in the game.  Been wanting this game to be finished all the way, but it seems like it's not done yet. It's good to have an open server weekend, but hasn't this game been out for what, about a year or more and it's still not done?  Well I guess open server weekend is better then nothing

Its still in pre-alpha technically so expect another 200 years for the actual release at this rate

Hopefully this time, I'll be able to download it with ease and connect to servers without a lot of annoying time outs...

If not this may be a bit more accurate:

The servers are designated in certain regions. Some servers have less lag than others for being closer to your locations. It is recommended to be in a server with the lowest lag. The latency is located next to the server names, with a number value of "ms" (millisecond) latency. I hope this helped.

What's funny is that with most people thinking like that the most bearable servers are actually the ones with the highest ping from physical location because they generally have the least load on them (though theres a point I'd assume where the load starts effecting the ping response time lol). I mean a 100ms difference in ping from connecting to somewhere a few thousand more miles away really isn't going to affect the heated "gameplay" I'd assume, and really the most annoying part about playing the osws is the random disconnects from the servers exploding/being restarted if anything.

Either way get da hype, I'm sure I'm going to have a blast :p

Resolved Issues / Re: Chat vanished

2014 Nov 24, 11:52:08

I think the issue is really the strictness of the rules around here. A self moderated irc chat by the community itself wouldn't require such huge amounts of moderation by the actual staff but the need to control everything related to this game (officially) is causing the issues. Irc is also better in a lot of ways than whatever crazy ajax system that was using (repeated post request and xml data output) and would allow not only better bandwidth usage (assuming its even hosted here) but also people to use their own clients and such rather than the crappy in browser one.

Yea same. It was a 500 before it vanished so I think they are changing it most likely (I wonder if they actually took my IRC suggestion). Or maybe its just broken.

[thank you all for addressing these issues BTW.]

The Retirement Home / Re: I'd like to thank the programmers

2014 Aug 10, 09:15:25

ok after playing it for a little bit.

It is terribly optimized/badly coded in some way.

In pony ville I am hitting in the 30's and I saw it hit 28FPS? I should get no less then  80+
And nothing was going on, my computer isn't the problem, trust me.

So?  This is a PRE-ALPHA Game... what were you expecting; flawless release?

Besides, the code is more optimized this time around and the servers are better at handling things, to some extent. Plus, login is doing a lot better this time as far as I could see. thank you all for addressing these issues BTW.

Most likely the issue you're suffering is probably either server overload (causing large number of packet to be processed / more ponies to render), or your graphics card and/or driver is not as compatible with this game as it could be (stuff like this does happen from time to time.)  because I suffered very little lag issues outside of swarms of ponies.

The game itself uses an acceptable amount of ram for a mmo as it is storing a ton of models directly into the ram but honestly I dont see why it takes 23% of a 3770k i7 to render static models with no other players ingame, either something is really messed up or I just have no perception of how much cpu a mmo should use.
The servers themselves are absolute crap at handling a ton of players for some reason, probably because they aren't actual mmo servers and just for testing (some of them even have just empty apache webservers on them for no reason indicating that they were probably set up without much care for their quality) or perhaps because there were just simply too many people trying to get in at one time (and having everything relying on a single mysql database for stuff like passhashes is what was causing a ton of those old login issues due to like too many connections).

Still tho I shouldn't have to try connecting to every server twice to atleast get into one and then having one halfway across the globe be the one that actually works, but I guess thats just the price to pay for having servers open only for "testing" 1% of year

Not really the place for introductions but whatever. I think theres a place to resend your confirmation e-mail somewhere. Also it could be in your junk folder.

Do you know anything about the size of the map?... Or if we will be able to go to Canterlot?

there will be Canterlot, some maps are bigger than others... game world will be huge

Oh goodie. There should just be like random rolling hillls and stuff between places where theres nothing to really make it huge...

The Retirement Home / Re: Anyone else think there might be a race imbalance?

2012 May 09, 22:32:39

Once the team gets around to balancing the races in Alpha, people will find out that earthponies are just as good as pegasi and unicorns.

Besides, someponies might be disappointed when the game comes out and they find their pegasus flying much slower than in the Pre-Alpha footage or realize their unicorn refuses to teleport all the way across the map.

I doubt that you can teleport like that as far as you can see, I bet there will be a range limit and a cooldown.

Earth pony all ze way
If there is a race imblance it wont really matter, unless the number of people in one affects how successful they are, if so, I've seen other games put a tax system using data from the race sizes in comparasion to other ones to make them equal.

too bad the clocks kept changing throughout the two seasons, eh?  from eight hour clocks to twelve hour clocks.

Who needs clocks
