I just had the same thing a few hours ago and fix it.

The DNS from my ISP was not finding the hosting site. sad (update.decaldev.com if I remember correctly)

I manually changed my DNS to a third party one I have been using for over 10 years (http://www.opendns.com/ ). dancing
(Use the DNS IPs down in the lower right hand corner of that link ..)

After that, I was able to get my laptop updated with no problems. My belief is that they were up all the time, and we had computers just checking in the wrong locations. worried

The company that was hosting our DNS nameservers seems to have gone under. Messages were left with Mekle but there's nothing I can do about it myself.

You can update by setting your update url to decal.limitengineering.net or www.virindi.net

...

They both work fine, I don't know what the heck ya'll are doing.

You open Decal, click the Options button, click Change down near the bottom and put in either
http://decal.limitengineering.net

or

http://www.virindi.net

And click OK.

It works fine.

except that it updated and is running but will not start up in game sad I open the AC client and Decal is nowhere to be found. I wonder if that's because I had deleted and reinstalled it a dozen times....

If you uninstall 2965 to go back to 2960, you have to use the decal reg clean utility. Unfortunately, it is on the site that is down...

Nope, it's on the skunkworks sourceforge site (as Greg made it)

Thanks for posting on this thread everyone. I have been having decal trouble for the past 24 hours. I went through the all red X issue and just updated the updater address as suggested. Thanks a lot for the updated addresses.
