Hi everybody,
Very simple problem: new patch/update so my version is outdated and needs to be updated thru the launcher.
How is that done. I have the Mac version and there is nothing that seems to me an update to dld. What do I do?
Any simple and correct explanations would be appreciated.

You should be able to launch the update via the launch menu.

If not, open My Page and scroll down to OOB. There's a link to various files there.

I downloaded the patch and put it in the Patch folder and it looks like it went OK but when I use the regular game menu to start? I get this message! I enabled the "Quick Start" and can play that way but can't figure out why the regular menu won't work. Even had my tech buddy check it and he said I did everything right. Any idea why I get this message???

I see that you got an answer in the 8.5.4 patch thread. In there, I posted some images for the workaround which is essentially creating a shortcut directly to the game file, bypassing the automenu.

Thank you Bru! I had already changed it to to the game.exe as you posted but the update seems to be fine now after uninstalling and reinstalling it and it works fine now. Thank you very much, Rob

My version of OoB does not have the Update button. Do we need to load a different version of OoB manually?

It looks like the Slitherine version (to the right) includes the update button while the Steam version do not.
I guess this is because the Steam version is supposed to be automatically updated when you launch it.
