Known Issues

There are the following known issues and product limitations in Intel® PAT Content and Service Management (CSM):

 

1.          If CSM is dragged under the Windows taskbar, and the Windows taskbar is locked, the CSM user console may become stuck or appear in an abnormal state. If this happens, you should restart the PC to recover CSM functionality.

 

2.          Changing the CSM IP address and port information from the General tab of the Options window of the CSM administrator console will result in the CSM client not being able to connect to the CSM server properly.  Please refer to the user manual for the correct way to configure IP address and port settings.

 

3.          List of online clients may not always be current when viewed in the Advanced tab of Options window of the CSM administrator console. This is caused by unstable LAN conditions or unexpected disconnection of client PC.

 

4.          Game update packages will not be downloaded immediately to client PCs that have run the game one or more times since the last system restart.  However, if the game update package affects the client registry, the registry will take effect immediately, leading to an inconsistency in the system and causing the game to be unable to be run.  Restarting the PC will resolve this issue.

 

5.          If the CSM client becomes disconnected from CSM server, the user will not be able to download new games or new game update packages. Restarting the PC will resolve this issue.

 

6.          If the i-café administrator installs a game or creates a game update package, and then runs it before uploading it to the server, it may cause a disk IO error during the data transfer process. Please do not run games or update packages before uploading them. This is because during launching, some games may delete some temporary folders which causes game/game update package incomplete. We suggest i-café administrator not to launch the game before new game/game update package uploading.

 

7.          Client disk partitions managed by CSM must be NTFS format and not protected by other hard-disk restore tools including Intel® PAT Hard Disk Restore.

 

8.          CSM doesn’t support games located within the subfolders of other games. This may cause CSM to function abnormally.

 

9.          If server is un-installed, all CSM data will be deleted.
