Question Says i need to update my spell files, no matter how many times i update my spell file

i get to character select and it says that my spell file is out of date. but i downloaded and overwrote with the most up to date spell files. i just made this patch work on another cpu last night, but on this one its refusing to recognize that ive already updated them. how can i get the game to work?

Are you closing the client completely after updating the patch files? Copying everything in the folder over too?

Are you sure the computer is replacing the files instead of making copies and renaming it?

Are you extracting from the zip file or copy & pasting? When I extract my computer flips me the bird :P so i copy & paste and overwrite that way.

Yeah, for whatever reason just unzipping them into your folder doesn't overwrite the old ones.

Rename or delete the outdated spell files then unzip the new ones in. It'll work like a charm. Promise!

so i tried re-installing my client, and doing the above, making absolutely sure that the updated spell files were overwriting and going where they need to be. yet even still, it says my file is outdated and stops me at character select. starting to wonder if ill my p1999 days are over... T_T

Guess so. Sorry you to see you go. >.<

But I still say that if you go into your P99 folder and delete spells_us.txt & dbstr_us.txt and then copy Version9 in, it will work.
