Heros of Newerth 0.3.0.1 Patch Update Error (K2 Exception)

Yesterday, 1st of April 2010, Heros of Newerth had open the registration for Beta that doesn’t require a Beta Key. I also opened an account on for Heros of Newerth www.heroesofnewerth.com.

I installed version 0.1.64b (older version) and it will automatic update after you login. What actually happen is after it download the update files, the update process crash. It only show a small window saying K2 Exception, Would you like to save a crash report?

After go through some forum, I found a method to solve the problem. All you have to do is download the tos.txt file at the end of this post, and paste it into the installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroes of Newerth  (default installation folder for 64 bit window)

C:\Program Files\Heroes of Newerth (default installation folder for 32 bit window)

and run the update again. I have tried this method for Window XP and Window 7 (64bit) and it solve the problem. So, you might want to have a try.

If you have better solution, or recommendation for this method please leave a comment. Enjoy!

  2. I am suspecting that the crash is cause by the service pack 2. I have several friends installing HON, one of them also using Window XP, with service pack 2 which also crash during the update. However, another PC with Window XP service pack 3 do success with the update. I can’t say that this is the solution, but you might try to update your Window XP to service pack 3. Please update with us if you have successfully solve the problem. Thanks.

  8. Theo, which version of windows you are using? and the version of HON? if i am not wrong, HON doesn’t run on Window XP SP2, you need to update to SP3 if you are using Window XP. and for the automatic updating part, what happen on my PC is i have to wait for around 40 seconds for the update to start, it will kind of “hang” at the beginning of the update. so, you can try to wait for the update to start before you end it.

  10. im using Windows XP but i don’t know if its SP2 or SP3…. btw where can i see the version of the windows im using?

  11. you can check your Window XP version from the System Properties. go to Control Panel and double click System (classic view) and you can see the window version under System Properties. if it is Service Pack 2, then you can try to update your window to Service Pack 3. updating to Service Pack 3 do solve the problem on one of my friend’s PC. you can have a try.

  12. under Automatic Updates tab at System Properties, click on Windows Update Web Site and follow the instruction on the page to proceed with the update. you will need to have a genuine Window XP to be able to update and I can’t guarantee that it solve the problem, but no harm trying.

  13. well ok.. i’ll try… and thank you for you advice…. but 1 question…. will some files be gone if i update it?

    Reply
  14. i am not so sure about the files, but if the problem still exist after the update, you can try to reinstall the hon after the update. and hope the problem solved after the update.

  15. i already have the tos but it still wont work should i rename it to tos.txt ?? or save the link above and delete the tos at the file of HoN??

    Reply
  16. mhac, the tos file should be text file. Under the Folder Options, check the “Hide extensions for known file types”. If it is checked, then you should only see the file as “tos”, and if it is not checked, you should see the whole file name as “tos.txt”.

    For the upgrade from SP2 to SP3, please check your Window XP license. You need to have genuine Window XP to enable the update.

  17. it really wont work even if i update it to SP3…what do you think the prob.. is??it still turns to black and the k2 exception always come out

  18. Previously I install 0.1.64b, then update to 0.3.0.1, and now I update it to 0.3.4.1, and the K2 exception only happen when I update from 0.1.64b to 0.3.0.1. Do you tried to reinstall the latest version? Try to uninstall the older version and do a clean install for the latest version.

  20. Henke, can you give more detail about your system, like the operating system, service pack, and which version of HON you are installing. And for your information, HON doesn’t seems to work under Window XP Service Pack 2, you will need to upgrage to Service Pack 3.

  21. Well i got a Windows Xp, just redownloaded the game so i guess i got the newest version of HoN, but still getting the anoying k2 exception. Please Hit me up. Thanks.

  22. Since its Window XP, you will need to check your Service Pack. If it is Service Pack 2, then try to upgrade it to Service Pack 3. There is no guarantee that it will works under Service Pack 3, but the upgrade do solve the problem on some PC. And make sure you run HON as administrator.
