Update to 4.3.1 freezing. Mod rendered unplayable afterwards.

[helloa2134]

Hello, I brought this question up verify on Moddb yesterday, but when it became apparent that the fix wouldn't be super simple, I decided to bring the issue here.  Yesterday I attempted to update my mod from 4.3 to 4.3.1 via the launcher.  The update was approximately 170mb.  The update to the launcher went swimmingly.  After that there were six files which had to be updated.  The first 5 went well but the update froze before the sixth file.  After waiting for hours, I killed the process using the task manager.  When I tried to update again I received the following error: Exception Message: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.  Afterwards, when trying to play the game, it would crash whenever I tried to start s skirmish.  I had to completely reinstall the game and mod. 
Any thoughts?

Well, is your game and the mod working after reinstalling?
Did you install the update again after reinstalling?

[helloa2134]

The exact same thing happened.  4.3 would work, but then the whole mod would be messed up after trying to update to 4.3.1.  It even froze at the same point in the update.
My thought was that perhaps the first time it happened was a fluke, but now that it's happened twice I figure that there's a problem.

Could you please upload the generated logfile and post the link here?

Thank you for the help Turin

A quick view isn't helping here sadly... gonna look into this tomorrow evening. Still can't really explain that error. I might send you some experimental builds tomorrow to see which line of code is leading to it.

[helloa2134]

I really appreciate the help Turin.  Also, if it is any help my launcher is a bit messed up.  By which I mean the news boxes only say "Label" and "text block."  I re downloaded the launcher from the Moddb page, though that did not fix the issue however it did enable me to play the game again.  So now I have a fully working 4.3, but don't have the ability to update further.

Try that one and tell me what the message box says after "Selected server:" when you click on Update.
The label thing is due to not being able to download the news. Probably gonna fix that later too, some issue with not finding the servers before.

the launcher has problèmes it doesn't make updates !

[Turin Turumbar]

It does if your computer is configured correctly and read all the previous answers. Download the newest launcher here:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/edain-mod/downloads/edain-mod-launcher-1200-edain-demo-required
Then try again.

Ok Turin I've done as you instructed and the message was as follows:

Selected Server: http://modding-union.com/updates/edain2/updates/

[Turin Turumbar]

Does the error message still appear? After or before the selected server message?

[Canis carcharothias]

For me, it doesn't appear. The server message appeared but the launcher downloaded and installed the update just fine.
Thank you very much, Turin.
I secretly love you now.

[helloa2134]

The error message didnt appear and the download started.  However, after downloading the first of seven files the download timed out.  I will try again just to be sure.

However when i first run the launcher you put on drop box i get the following error:

Error: The launcher is not running in the defaults game path.  The launcher might not work correctly in this case.  Game folder according to registry: "Correct Path"  Current folder C:\users\me\Desktop\ (which is where i extracted it)

[Canis carcharothias]

Yeah, the timeout happened to me as well, but then it worked nice!
