Only way I'm able to connect to the lobby is by making a clean install of DS and altering the config file in the /DarkSpace directory on my harddrive. The changes I'm making are to change the values of both the 'doUpdate's to '0' (yep, theres two).
This way I'm not updating DS at all and using the working version as comes with the installer.
I haven't tried connecting to a game yet but I'm just trying to work a way round this update problem at the moment.

If you reinstall DS, don't forget to wipe the directory, and wipe the regirstry of all entries containing "Darkspace". Should do the trick...

ok Guys i got 2 Fixes starting with the ez one
1: Uninstall SP2 by going to ADD/REMOVE programs and find Service Pack 2 then Uninstall it.
2: Uninstall Darkspace then Reinstall to same folder if u dont get the locked msg's when u try to uninstall if u get the locked msg's reinstall to a new folder and run super server, then for both set your Config file in your darkspace Directory to
........................................................................................................................
[GCQL]
doupdate=0
[CLIENT]
doupdate=0
........................................................................................................................
YOU MUST REDO THE doupdate=0 in your config file EACH time and when u loggoff a server QUICKLY cancel the update or you will have to redo the previous mentioned steps
p.s. hope this helps guys
