Hello, 

Hitting update does not work for me.   I get the following error message.  I believe I am on 2.04 beta.  Where does one check their version #?

[Jason Petho]

I sent your issue up the chain to see what they said. 

Stay tuned.

Could you please ask them if they see this with other Slitherine/Matrix Games or only JTCS? Also, if they have the option of trying to download the update using a different network, such as through a mobile hotspot, please ask them to try that as well.

I only own JTCS.

I did what zap did and went directly to the website. 

It is now installed.

[Jason Petho]

Thank you for the feedback, I sent it along. 

It worked for me, so good to hear it isn't working otherwise.

[Jason Petho]

Hey Jason,

If I understand correctly, there was yet another report of a user running into an issue updating the game through the game launcher. Is that right?

If so, could you please ask them the same as the other person from theBlitz:
'Please ask them if they see this with other Slitherine/Matrix Games or only JTCS? Also, if they have the option of trying to download the update using a different network, such as through a mobile hotspot, please ask them to try that as well.'

Best,

Many of the new scenarios had to be upgraded from 2.00 to the latest version. 

That being the case, there may be some issues with them.

Please report them here. 

Example, scholarly debate had it's release schedule compromised during the conversion, I need to remedy that. 

Any and all edits will be included in the final "REMASTER" version that is coming out soon (basically that just means no longer a need for the update process.
