Confirm that you have the following installed:

* .Net 2.0 [YES ]

Problem Encountered at Step #: (read the "What Should Happen" for this step#) 4
Which Program (ASGS/Allegiance): ASGS
What Error Message: Unable to validateAllegiance installation. Popup: "File ClientASGS.exe has an invalid signature. Would you like to attempt to repair the file?"
Comments (What you tried, description, etc): Tried R5 D/L, reinstalling, clicking yes, clicking no, manually updating, manually deleting the thing didn't work (even when i uninstalled alleg the first time, upon reinstallation it couldn't overwrite clientasgs.exe), and drinking more.
Asgs didn't work when R5 first came out, but I got it to work somehow (forgot), then it broke again.

I'm sorry if I missed somethin here or on the wiki. I tried lookin around for solutions but didn't find anything.

Thank you for you help,
Greenleaf

I ran into that, I think. I saw it yesterday when R5 was first released. I just clicked on the login button again in ASGS and I logged in and played. Tonight, the same error came up, but then I kept on crashing after I allowed it to update. A reboot cleared up the problem for me.

Hey Greenleaf.
Sorry you're running into problems with ASGS, but hopefully we can get them sorted.

Two things I'd like you to try:Try rebooting your machine and then logging into Allegiance again. (Yeah the "reboot" suggestion sounds like a copout, but it works often!)If you still have problems, doublecheck you are running Allegiance as an administrator.
Post here if either of these help you,

R5 broke it for me; I crash either on connecting to a server, or on entering the game.

Rebooted, then updated again when the error came up, up and running now.

Have the same problem.

Allegiance worked fine first time after the update, but now keeps giving the same 'invalid signature' problem, even after a reboot.

Help!

OK - Read the read me and the news posts.

Then create your own thread using the template in the Read Me if a solution does not present itself. This helps the helpline organise issues more clearly.

Confirm that you have the following installed:

* .Net 2.0 [ yes ]

Problem Encountered at Step #: 7
Which Program (ASGS/Allegiance): ASGS
What Error Message:

When I click on the 'Login' button on ASGS
I get the MessageBox prompt 'File ASGSClient.exe has an invalid signature. Would you like to attempt to repair the file?'

Pressing 'Yes' results in the update being run. When the update completes, hitting the 'Login' button results in the same MessageBox poping up.

Pressing 'No' is a dead-end.

Rebooting does not fix issue. Same 'invalid signature' repair file prompt re-occurs.
This is a 2008 install, and I have installed the recommended DX9 update for the missing dx9 .dll
Note: R5 worked the first time after the update. After that the 'invalid signature' thing pops up.

This is the dump from asgs_debug.log:

Sigh.
