Ub Funkeys Installation Problems
Revvinonsaid.Well, it does seem that there have been many problems along with the new 4.5 update. I have some files that it says are 'broken or missed' when I click on Angus to go to his lab. I lost my buddy list (some has finally come back up) I just was sitting in my crib for a long time all of a sudden I got an Access Violation and part of my list came up. Many have been having problems with the game not completing the update process - one person on the UBF said they went through the task manager found the UBFunkey Update, right clicked and selected open file location.
It pulled up a file menu and on the menu it had a link for the updater. They clicked on the updater link and saw it pop up on the task menu and this time the updater actually looked like it was doing something (instead of showing 00 under the CPU it showed 03-05). So you could try that.
Anonymoussaid.I was having the same problem as many posted here - the update completed 100%, clicked 'Let's Go' and nothing happened. The UBFunkey Update process was showing 0% CPU on the task manager so I killed the process. I went into the UB Funkeys program directory (C:Program FilesU.B. FunkeysRadicaGame) and found an 'update' subfolder. The contents had a directory structure similar to the application folder and approximate size of the v4.5 update (3xx MB) - so I copied the contents of update to the application folder, overwriting existing files - ran UB Funkeys app and everything appears to be working.
This was on a new install so I had nothing to lose. Anonymoussaid.My daughter gave me the Speed Racer starter kit for Xmas. That worked fine until I found a cute Dream State puppy this afternoon and tried to play with it. The 4.5 trunk update loaded TWICE with no problem-the first d/l took an hour, the second, just a minute. Now I'm sitting here trying to be patient to see if it will start a new game like it promised instead of doing nothing. I'm extremely new to this so I wouldn't lose much if I had to reinstall.
Thank you for providing this forum- good to know I'm not alone with this issue. Said.If you are downloading and getting to the 'Lets Go' and then it takes you to the desktop and does nothing try this. Go to the Task Manager and stop the UBFunkeysupdate.exe process. Then go into the folder Program FilesU.B.FunkeysRadicaGame. There should be a program under that folder called UBFunkeysUpdate.exe. It takes a few minutes, but if the update is actually working you will see new files appear in that folder like 'Trunk' and eventually the update icon will disappear when it has all been successfully installed. Then UB Funkeys will start on its own.
It worked for me. Said.You should be able to play Waggs' game without the new update. Therefore, if the server problems persist, you just might want to reinstall, and then skip the 4.5 update if it tries again & if that's what is freezing it.
However, I haven't had a connection to the Funkey network in a week, so still don't have the 4.5 update, and my game still goes blank sometimes. That just happened with Sushi Showdown when I selected 'single player game' (there isn't the option to play against anyone right now with the server down, or jammed, or whatever is going on). I got a black screen and the task manager list showed that UB Funkeys was not responding.
It is very disappointing! Anonymoussaid.I bought my kids the dreamstate pack with its hub, and master lox and henchman pack. However none of these funkeys are recognized ( only the old ones they had). I have tried to download the 4.5 trunk version ( at least ten times). While in general at 76% it gave an error message, one of the times it arrived to 100%!!! So I tried the solution propossed by Jill.
Now I have the new forders trunk and trunkupdate, but wwhen I try to go to funkeystown it gets stucked in the black page that indicates that is going to funkeys town!!! Luvsfunksaid.hey all been havin trouble with the 4.5 update since 25th. Tried everything everyone has said so far. I have drift so i can try and download it whenever i connect him.
Reinstalled from disc last night and manage to download and install version 2.6 not sure how old this version is, when i connect drift it says to play with him i need to download 4.5 i click ok. Then get an ERROR message telling me to reconnect him or phone them im in the U.K so not sure if the numbers are the same. Theres is no fault with drift or hub as the both work fine on other P.C which took the download just fine.
Chassaid.I managed to downloa dhte update OK but on running the update I got the error (in a window): - 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem - C:PROGRA1UB657E1.FUNRADICA1UBFUNK2.EXE The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:0558 IP:0128 OP:63 68 65 22 3e Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. Close Ignore Can anyone assist? This was a christmas present and my seven year old is getting impatient!
Thanks - Mike. Anonymoussaid.A friend of mine has bought a few funkey products for a christmas present and is trying to update from version 1 ot the current version 4.5 in which she has tried to download 4 - 5 times. Each time she downloads and tries to run the game, it asks to download the update again. We have read through the blogs and seen some of the answers to this problem (Such as changing the date on your computer.) The problem is how and where are you changing the date on the computer? Sorry to sound exasperated but can you please help with this problem. Said.To anyone still having trouble getting the 4.5 update, first please read up a bit further on these comments and try Jill's suggestion. It has worked for most people.
How To Play Ub Funkeys
If that doesn't work for you (as it did not for me), you have a few other things to try: 1. Lower your security settings, temporarily turn off your firewalls, and with Vista select to run as administrator. Unplug the hub before you go back into the game. Call Mattel's helpline 3.
Uninstall the game and reinstall. But first be sure that your progress has been saved the last time you left the game, and that you know your Unique Funkey name & password (Mattel's customer relations helpline can provide the passwords if you forgot). If you are not using a uniqe funkey name, be sure you backed up your files first (there is a blog post on that if needed) 4. Beg Mattel's support to send you an installation disk. That's what I finally did.
I still had to uninstall & reinstall, but now we have the 4.5 update! Anonymoussaid.I struggled with the 4.5 Funkeys Trunk Update for hours - reinstalled, virus scanned everything - then I happened upon this blog. Replacing the contents of the RadicaGame folder with the updated folder didn't work for me. I finally found the FunkeysUpdate file (icon)- thanks Barry S.
It ran slow, if I didn't check for activity in the task manager I wouldn't have known it was running. A while later, 15-30minutes (I was doing somthing else), it was up & running. I used Jill's suggestion to terminate the process in task manager before running the update.
Everything seems to be running great now. Dan in Savananh, Gasaid.Ok folks. Here's another way to actually play the game after attempting the 4.5 download.
Ub Funkeys Website
After attempting the 4.5 download several times I went into the UB funkeys program folder, then into Radica to make sure that all files were downloaded. Note that you should see a trunk file. I did not see this at first but after several attempts at the download.and leaving the aforementioned files open for viewing for some time, I sat back down at the computer and lo and behold.there indeed was a 'trunk' folder now present along with the other downloaded files. Following the directions of some of the other bloggers I went into the task manager under processes and deleted all of the UBFunkeys.exe processes (to include the updater.exe process) and let me tell you, there were 4 or 5 of these in the task manager.
Ub Funkeys Installation Problem
I think that it is especially the updater (or was it 'downloader') process that is hanging things up and keeping us from being able to play the game, so make sure that you have all UBfunkeys processes in the task manager deleted. After that you can close the task manager and just click on the desktop icon for UBfunkeys and hopefully the game will begin running for you as it did for me. For those of us computer illiterate, To open the Task Manager hold down the Ctrl and Alt button while pressing the Delete button and the Task Mgr will open for you. Good Luck Dan in Savannah, Ga.
