Solved BMS Installation Issues and Errors - Can't Update/Can't MP
-
can you use bms downloader to update the updater?
-
Hey Max,
This is what happens when I run the downloader. This is after the update that doesn’t go through.
Also tested after a clean install (with the torrent), and then running the downloader to update only the Updater - I get the same message unfortunately.
-
@CaptnHambre are you 100% sure it is the last full installer?
It really doesn’t seem right…
Reg keys are not read, something is wrong but I can’t tell what…AV? User without priviledges on computer?
You’re the first I see with thoses issues
-
It’s the installer directly from the BMS website - both downloader and torrent (should the latest torrent be build 1329? we noticed that was different than what other folks have).
Anti-virus is just windows defender. I have the install location as an exception.
No other users on the computer.
If I am the only one, maybe the simplest solution is a windows wipe some point soon.
-
@CaptnHambre Try downloading the files on another computer and copy and paste them to zip drive then back to your computer then try installing.
-
@CaptnHambre This may sound like a stupid question but do you have a legit copy of Falcon 4.0 installed?

Anti-virus is just windows defender. I have the install location as an exception.
Can you maybe try adding the download folder where you store the BMS files as an exception as well, or turn off defender altogether during download & installation?
Cheers, Uwe

@Kavelenko Hey. Yes, I do. Steam version.
-
@hoover THanks Hoover, just tried this. Moved the downloader to my D drive and made the entire drive an exception. When I run it I get this error:
Could it be because Falcon is on my D drive? Seems like things break as the downloader outputs something to my C temp drive.
-
@CaptnHambre Possibly a previous version was not uninstalled properly? Or D drive has errors?
-
How much space have you got left on C:?
-
@MaxWaldorf 400 Gigs on C

@Icarus said in BMS Installation Issues and Errors - Can't Update/Can't MP:
@CaptnHambre Possibly a previous version was not uninstalled properly? Or D drive has errors?
This is definitly possible, maybe even likely… Not sure how to figure out if it’s the case or not though. I’ve done so many reinstalls at this point…
-
@CaptnHambre For reinstall. I would uninstall with uninstaller then remove all entries from registry that has to do with BMS. Then reinstall BMS. This worked for me a long time ago when I screwed up an uninstall. For disk errors use chkdsk and sfc /scannow.
-
@Icarus Thanks. I’ve done a reg clean on BMS in the past but will try again tonight.
-
@CaptnHambre I think (Max correct me if I’m wrong) the “Base.7z.001 not available” message is a networking error.
Anything unusual re networking? (Corp or school network, with a proxy or VPN?)
-
@airtex2019 means the user is either unable to download the file, no space on drive C (temp folder) or his IP / ISP is blocked by our provider or my rules (which are here for a reason and won’t change)…
-
I may have lost track a bit so I apologize in advance. I can’t quite tell why the Downloader needs to be installed and run, because:
- The torrent download seemed fine and will provide the full 4.37.3.0 install
- The hotfixes H1 and H2 can then be fetched with the updater from the launcher
@CaptnHambre, did you run Update from within the launcher as shown here?
Or did you run the Updater.exe directly from the root BMS folder - not sure if/why that would make a difference though. Could maybe also try to invoke the launcher with “Run as Administrator” (unless you already do that)
-
@jayb Yes, this is the error I get when clicking update (its referenced in the initial post):
Thinking I’m getting close to just wiping windows - nice fresh start.
-
@CaptnHambre Forgot to ask butI hope you’re installing BMS in a separate folder outside of falcon 4.0 or program files…
