UnitSync.dll problem starting

[StoneCrow]

as far as i know this problem is very common and has deterred several of my friends from getting the game,
SERIOUSLY WHY HASNT THIS BEEN FIXED.
i recently re-installed spring from scratch to get rid of old unneeded files and whoop-de-doo now i have this problem

i am serioulsy angry about this, and have had to restrain myself from swearing alot in writing this.

ok so i start up spring
BAM
"Spring couldn't get your spring versions from any unitsync library."


help me, i use windows and i installed spring at C:\program files\spring

Reinstall, and choose TASclient on install options, in my experience that works better.

I'm having the same problem with the unitsync library. I already have all my hosting settings saved in SpringLobby, and I can't figure out how to make TASClient use a relay host. I don't see changing clients as a viable option. So... how do we fix the unitsync.dll issue?

Ooh I have a good idea: when the unitsync error happens, SpringLobby should automatically switch to TASClient. This would help retain noobs who are having issues.

I don't see changing clients as a viable option

totally agree

[StoneCrow]

may have found a way to fix this.

1 go to option in springlobby
2 then to spring
3 uncheck search only in current install path
4 click the autoconfigure button
5 click apply in the bottom right
6 finally restart springlobby,

Good chance it will work fine now, seems to have worked for me

I can't figure out how to make TASClient use a relay host.

you move your mouse cursor to the "relay host" checkbox, then push the left button of your mouse !

Just tried to install on my brother's computer, had problem with UnitSync.dll.

Tried 0.78.2 and 0.80.5.2 and 0.80.5.2 game installer, just in case.

Tried installing in "D:\Games\Spring" and "C:\Program Files\Spring" and "C:\Program Files\Spring Engine"

The .dll is there. The path is correct. StoneCrow's advice doesn't work. TASClient also crashed on start.

System:
Windows XP Pro SP 2
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ @ 1.7Ghz, ECS K75A mobo
768MB DDR ram
Radeon 9000 64MB with Catalyst 6.11
Open AL, .NET Compact framework for SP2, .NET 1.1 and 2.0, Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable -x86 9.0.30729.17 all installed - seemed like it had something to do with it.

Hopefully this will help somewhat... *shrug* Basically there is no way to run Spring on this system.
