Version 2.0

Post by iprop »

I cannot get on the server; I get a message that says I have the wrong version and to download the latest version from the launcher..

Is the next version being rolled out?

Can't get on multi-player for my i-pad and there is no "launcher" for updates on this version. What gives?

The message is incorrect it appears. Sorry for the confusion. You just need to update via the usual process through the Appstore and you will be able to continue playing.

Sorry for the confusion.

Sigh. There must be some Apple lag in pushing the update out. What territory are you in?

We have to switch the server version code all at once to prevent all kinds of versioning issues, but we can't control how long it takes between turning on the update button and the update being on all the worldwide servers :(.

Up and running on App Store ... Only problem is you lose your saved single player games and have to resign in with user name and password for multi-player.

Correct. This shouldn't happen going forward though - the prior versions used a storage space that it wasn't clear was so volatile. Sorry.

I entirely missed that a v2.0 is upon us... :oops:

Is there a discussion thread for what's new in version two?

Edit:
Oh... I see it - it's the "Hefty Update". Silly me, I was looking for a 2.0 in the subject line :)

I have also just upgraded to 2.0 and lost Operation Sealion. Any idea how I get it back (without having to re-buy it)?

You will never need to repurchase an expansion. If you go through the in-app purchase process again, iTunes knows you already paid for it and will authorise it again without taking any payment. These savegame and in-app purchase issues will not occur after this update. Sorry for the painfulness.

To be honest, we were not too concerned before, because generally saves are not that important in BA, but MG is definitely a different case. Would be less of a problem if it wasn't pretty tough to start with. Really sorry :(.

You certain about this? It says the expansions cost $9.99 when I go through the in-app purchase process.

You will not be charged if you have already purchased it and are logged in with the appropriate iTunes account.

Right you are! Not that I ever doubted you :wink:

For everyone else concerned about this... when you select the expansion it asks if you wish to buy it for $9.99. Only after you agree to pay does it come back and say that you already purchased it and it's a free download, afterall. Nerves of steel and calling the bluff wins the day :P

I'll look at whether we can make the process a little less nerve-wracking when updating :).

Sorry you are having problems. Are you connected to the Internet? Have you already downloaded them?

Yes I am connected I managed to re-enable the IAP purchase of Blitzkreig France ok, previously I had downloaded all the single player user created scenarios but they are not listed in the campaigns section after the upgrade. In the User Content area none of the single player or multiplayer scenarios are listed.

Is anyone else having or not having the same problem?
