Why does he need to uninstall the game? From the original post it seems like nothing is wrong with his game, he just needs to update to 1.5.12.

I think the original poster is just confused by the version names, he thinks that 1.5.12 sounds like an earlier version than 1.5.3. I have had the same thought myself, it does seem an odd choice for a new version number.

Well, if you have a better suggestion, please offer one.
I can only tell, as I work in tech support, the suggestion I have offered on my previous post always worked, so far, with similar issues.

You seem to think that his game is actually stuck.

While I think that he is just confused about the update. He thinks that 1.5.12 is an earlier version than 1.5.3, and is therefore reluctant to use the updater.

When I unzip Wolves it says installation successful. However, when I start the game I get message that newer version is available v 1.5.12, so i click to install and get the usual error message. In past updates the only way I can install new versions is from my products on Slitherine site. When I unzip this new version 1.5.12 (from the list my products on the Slitherine site), it says installation successful. However, when I then go to the game it still has version 1.5.3.

So at this point, I cannot install new version or update to Wolves. I was a beta tester for Wolves, so can still play beta version with Wolves. It works fine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Do I really have to uninstall FOG 2? If I do, do I have to re-install ALL of the updates?

I didn't even realize I had installed a MOD. Follow the instructions by VPaulus and you should be good to go. That's how I did it. Whether or not that MOD works with the current version, I don't know. I didn't try to reinstall that.

1.5.3 is the previous version number of the official game. It is also the version number of the TT Mod. You should never install it in your main game files, but it will give no problems if you follow the installation instructions. It's possible that the guys on this thread had a similar problem to you, but from what they have written it does not appear so.
