I do run it as administrator. ive been using tiara since its been released and this is the first time this happens.
There are 3 versions of Tiara of any particular revision that I maintain. *facedesk* I'm sorry you're missing the point here. I also am aware that you're frustrated, I get that. I'm glad you were able to fix your problem.
I don't honestly have much to contribute to this whole scenario, but in the interest of keeping things smooth i will input my own feedback.
In regards to mabinogiplayers, wording is absolutely everything. Missing maps, or rather missing files? Can be confusing and frustrating depending on how badly you want the files.
On that note, i actually reviewed the posts to see where you're pointing fingers at tiara or draconis, and i couldn't find it. Way i'm reading it, what i'm seeing is you say you're missing files, specify which files you're missing, and provided additional details. I will say, whether you take this as a compliment or insult is entirely subjective, you did much the same as what i'd at least
try to do, whether that's how i come across or not would be another matter.
So i'd like to end that with just saying, don't get discouraged. crap happens, to put it bluntly. I can't say why you're missing files, or what the problem(s) could be. You made multiple attempts at this it sounds like, and you're now seeking feedback, so i'd say you're doing pretty much everything right. And it seems you have since resolved the issue.
Towards draco's posts, i think it was mostly just misconstruing the situation. I don't feel draco's speaking out of ill will, but i do understand how frustrating it is to troubleshoot another's issues. I can stand to do mine, but i absolutely hate helping anyone else troubleshoot their problems, even if directly given their laptop/pc. It's just so much easier if you're doing it for yourself as you're not held to any standards or expectations other than your own, as well as being able to at least vaguely recall various related actions you may have done on your own pc/laptop. I personally hold much higher standards of myself, when helping others, if i truly wish to help them, and i know others are like this as well. That said, draco is regularly doing this for many people for every update, and probably more frequently than that.
I think my best advice for draco, only to this situation, would be to just chill and go with the flow. Obligations may tie you to helping others, but keeping your own pace is what will make it tolerable. I'm sure blade3575 (think that's right) knows this all too well, but it is impossible to replicate issues across various machines and users. Sometimes there will be problems that look exactly the same, you can solve one but can't do a thing for the other even though the end problem seems to be an exact duplicate. Ask questions at your leisure, take a bit of time to ponder responses, and always wonder if there might have been something you'd overlooked, where should you start looking for that something.
