Stupid little begger...

Post by fhko »

My auto updater believes there is a new update which I lack (0.50.4) except I already have this version...and instead of asking me if I want to go ahead and update it manually, it goes straight to downloading the patch...meaning I can't play the game till it thinks its done...I'm not sure what's going on exactly...it doesn't always try to auto-update...and I get through...think it might have something to do with my logging on to my secondary install of the game (a significantly older version) that throws it off my tail and allows me entry...

....anyway is there a way to nullify the auto-updater?

Do not worry it happen to me as well. Even after downloading and installing new client.
The auto update checks about once every day I think. It looks like a pre set time.

Yeah..same here...The auto updater updates the client every time I start the game up after restarting my computer.

I think it's a bug. I haven't seen the updater working for months now... suddenly, after installing the 50.4 patch, it's started updating the game quite often, even when there's no update (it just patches 04 with 04, as far as I can tell).

The updater has been working fine for months (You probably dont see it fooli coz u use CVS versions which already have version updates in em).

The initial patch i put up did have an error in the version code included in the game (sorry about that), so even though it said it was 0.50.4 it still thought it was 0.50.3.
This was fixed in versions I uploaded yesterday.. If you're still getting the auto-update popup now, just let it complete and it'll go back to its normal quiet self until 0.50.5 comes out.
