Trying to update to 4.0
« on: October 27, 2010, 12:33:59 pm »
I can't seem to update my version of AI War from 3.8 to 4.0

Originally I bought my copy from Steam, then Zenith.  Children of Neinzul I bought directly from Arcen but the in-game updater doesn't even seem to realise that 4.0 has been released.  Is there a file I can download from somewhere and manually update it?

Much obliged.
Wait, did you just say "Thermonuclear galactic destruction is a bad idea."?

Just to be clear, you're currently on version 3.800?  That should be auto-update-able to 4.0, I think.

But doing a full-install isn't a bad idea; the full-installer download links are here:

Ah, my bad, 3.1.8.9 to be precise.

I'm guessing that means I've missed something?

Yea, we ported the game to a different engine :)

Short story is that you'll need to use the full installer.

You're welcome :)

I think we need some kind of logo with a bunch of ninjas rushing at something and tripping over each other.

Ah, that reminds me.  I do need to put out a new "3.190" version of the old game, which just notifies existing customers about the new version of the game.  I'll try to do that in the next couple of days, but right now I'm kind of decompressing from this whole run-up today when it's not something super time-sensitive.  The official release on Steam should be... any time now. :)

They have a ridiculous amount of work to do, particularly this time of year :)
