Unable to update

[Dortmund]

Hello,

the problem is that when I try to update the game, appears a window that says: "unable to download the file. An error ocurred while trying to open an FTP file".

Yes, I had the same. Sadly the Slitherine elves have finished for the day, so it should be sorted out tomorrow morning.

If you have the Steam version, or a Steam key to get it, that version does appear to update correctly.

Hello,

the problem is that when I try to update the game, appears a window that says: "unable to download the file. An error ocurred while trying to open an FTP file".

Ditto
I get
"Error
Unable to download file.
An error occurred while trying to udate an FTP file"

This appears in a Pike and Shot Update dialog box.

If I launch game I get

"MISSING_IDS_NEW>VERSION_MSG" and am dumped back to the Slitherene homepage.

Could you advise?

I am afraid this is unlikely to be fixed before tomorrow. However, the Steam update works.

[GKChesterton1976]

Me too - how are we going for a fix to this!

Same problem.

Plus, there seems to be a snafu somewhere which displays "MISSING_IDS_NEW_VERSION_MSG"

Same problem.

Try this link:

Hopefully the next patch will be smoother.

Yes, that string is missing from the v1.0.1 (and v1.0.2) build. Also, when you click the Tick button in that message box, it takes you to the BA2 update page instead of the Pike and Shot one.

We never did an update of Pike and Shot before, so these issues only just came to light. They will be corrected in the next patch.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

[Galangalad]

Sorry guys.

We will fix the upload as soon as possible.

As of 13.00 GMT
Tried the updater again and that did take me through a download this time but I still got the "MISSING_IDS_NEW>VERSION_MSG" message on loading the game and on clicking 'proceed' still loaded Battle Academy 2 helpscreen.
Exited the game and tried the updater once more and received message confirming latest version (1.02) was installed but game load error remained .
Then used the link from Tac2i - that worked fine - thankyou.
Until hearing otherwise from Slitherene regarding the updater I would advise non-steam users to download and run the file from the link published by RBS and Tac2i.

[Galangalad]

Auto-updater is still not working as intended, sorry. I will advise when it is fine to use the updater.

[Galangalad]

Ok guys. Auto-updater is now working as it is supposed to do.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[alfamail]

I tried the update function but I still had trouble. So I used the link suggested above by Richard Bodley Scott and that seemed to work. Thanks to everyone for the help.

[Galangalad]

Then it might be that your firewall was preventing the updater to launch correctly. You might want to change the firewall setting from "Decide Automatically" to "Ask me to decide".

[rbodleyscott]

The updater is not working here.

It is probably a firewall issue. I had to turn my McAfee firewall Smart Advice from "Decide Automatically" to "Ask me to Decide". Then it worked. Please let us know if this (or the equivalent on your firewall) does not work.

However, if you cannot get it to work, use this link

ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/PikeAndSh ... p-v102.zip

and click on the .exe file inside.

Tried that. Did not work. I used the link and it was fine.
