Problem - Problems with Navmesh updater (1 Viewer)

[minddagger]

My Navmesh does not update. I click on Launch Mesh Updater and it just minimizes in the system tray at the bottom of my screen. Nothing else happens. I have deleted and re-downloaded RedGuides Launcher to no avail. Still the same problem. Please advise. Thank you.

did you check any of the other threads/posts?

for many folks it ends up being an issue with their AV

you can also manually download them and place them in your resources -> mq2nav folder (not mq->mq2nav, but mq->resources->mq2nav)

nothing has changed in regards to my AV. i use Webroot SecureAnywhere. I have been using them for years. It's through Bestbuy.

so is that a "yes i checked; all looks good" or a "no i didn't bother because despite things not working i'm just going to assume one of the most common causes is not doing it"

I am not computer saavy. how do i download the individual files?

I am actually on the phone with them right now to ensure there is no conflict with the AV.

on the phone with who?

there is literally no one you could possibly be calling on the phone who knows if the mesh updater should have conflicts or not.

i am not smart enough to do what you ask. i cant find the the proper folder. I am on the phone AV provider to see if there is a conflict with my settings

you know some people (Me) are not up to snuff when it comes to this stuff. So I would appreciate a little kindness and ask that you take into consideration that I am not as computer smart as most people. I turn things on and off thats about it. I learn best by doing

right now i have no firewall up to prevent the program from updating. still will not work.

meet me half way.

did you try any of the things i've shared with you?



click this link then manually download them and place them in your resources -> mq2nav folder (not mq->mq2nav, but mq->resources->mq2nav)
when you click the link above you can hit the green download button you see below



then save them into your downloads folder




then you can go in that folder, and right click and extract



it will as you where - I'm just going to download them to my downloads folder and will drag them over afterwards


I now see a "zipped" one which has the zipper icon and a non-zipped one


double click on the non-zipped one

this will open that folder
you want to highlight everything inside by pressing "Control + A"

it will highlight the entire folder contents


now i'm going to right click on the highlighted things and select "Copy"




Now I'm going to navigate to my MacroQuest Folder
for me, this is going to different than yours, but you can get to yours by right clicking on your macroquest tray icon and going to Open Folder -> Resources



inside there you will see a MQNav folder -> double click it


you are now inside MQ -> Resources -> MQ2Nav --- now right click in the mq2nav folder and paste


if you get a dialog like this just "replace the files in the destination"

Thank you Sic for your understanding. I was able to do as you said. Just need to see if it took now. Thank you again and I am truly sorry for not being overly helpful and for causing you frustration.

you owe yourself an apology for a: saying you're not smart, b: deciding that you shouldn't ask for help in the way that you need it (you eventually did) c: not cutting yourself some slack

no one expects you or anyone to know everything - we all need help sometimes (I ask/need help daily)

the frustration i experienced was because you asked for help, then appeared to be resistant to the help I was trying to give and instantly hit me with the "im not smart / savvy / whatnot" instead of "can you walk me through that".

anyhow, I'm not upset with you and I'm very happy to help you.
this doesn't solve the root issue of the mesh launcher not working, but hopefully will get you started.

the mesh launcher is most likely a: antivirus or b: windows permission issues (windows not allowing the program to run) those are both very common problems).
