Hi , why is the game insisting on me downloading version 1.5.28 when I thought version 1.5.27 was still in Beta? It seems I can not access multiplayer without it.

1.5.28 has been released today

online servers will update asap and you should be able to continue same as everyone else, sorry for the confusion and delay

Steam version is 1.5.28 now.

Interesting, I do not have 1.5.28 available to me yet on STEAM.

clear browser cache and cookies then download history, which will log you out and shut down steam and then as you log back in and then will update any game which has a update for it

just remember to have your user name and password for steam handy, as it will take out those settings...
remember not saying you have to do this to get the update either, only if it's not auto updating for you, sometimes just a re start of steam gets any game with a update pending, to download, my advice is for those wishing to force a update or just clear a folder full of junk and make some games download updates without a windows restart

Do you play the beta or the Vanilla game ?



v1.5.28 – April 14, 2020

Gameplay:
• The low quality of “rear echelon” armies has been toned down considerably – i.e. the proportion of cheap or low quality units will be lower than previously.

Units
• Our grateful thanks go to Paul Adaway, author of TT Mod, for permission to use units from TT mod in the main game, and Stephen Hales of Little Big Men Studios for permission to use his shield pattern designs in TT Mod units. https://www.littlebigmenstudios.com/
• Added 4 new Lydian units from TT mod: Lydian Cavalry, Lydian Light Chariots, Lydian Irregular Foot, Lydian Light Javelinmen.
• Added 14 new pike phalanx units from TT Mod for Diadochi etc: Antigonos, Lysimachos, Pyrrhos, Ptolemaic Egypt, Antigonid Macedon, Hellenistic Greece, Sparta, GraecoBactrian/IndoGreek. (Philip, Alexander and the Seleucids use the existing vanilla Argyraspids and Chalcaspids).
• Also added from TT Mod: Nubian Archers.
• Anglo-Saxon hirdsmen are now rated as “Some Armour” for protection (and unit cost). The majority of men are still unarmoured, so the models are unchanged.

Army Lists
• Light Chariots and other new models added to Lydian lists.
• New pike units added to the appropriate army lists.
• Added new Spartan 280-228 BC, 227-222 BC and 221-146 BC lists.
• Kushite Egyptians will use the new Nubian Archers model.

Epic Battles
• Epic Battle scenarios have been updated to use the new units where appropriate. (Thymbra, Raphia)

Bug Fixes
• Fixed bug that applied “Fighting Heavy Chariots” cohesion test modifier incorrectly.
• Spartan veteran hoplites will now use the correct Lambda shield when side A is Spartan and side B is Roman.
• Fixed issue whereby Fragmented unit whose pursuit is blocked by friends could end up with more AP than it should.

I elected to be part of the "beta", so all I had to do was opt out of the "beta" and then the 1.5.28 version uploaded automatically in STEAM.

That's it

I was mostly confused by it being a later version than the one that is still in beta...

We always number the release version higher than the preceding beta version, so that they cannot be confused with each other. I appreciate that this may differ from the practice of other developers.

ah! , ok , makes sense now
thanks.

I'm having the same problem as every time the game is updated. IT WON"T update. so where can I go to get this done???? I get so tired of being knocked out of multiplayer because of the updates every time we have one and then screwing up my games.

Sorry you are having problems.

It sounds like you eventually managed to solve the problem on the previous occasions. If so how? Have you tried doing the same thing again?

If the automated Updater in the launcher isn't working for you, you can download the update here

If that doesn't work, the problem probably lies with your Firewall or Antivirus settings.

What error messages, if any, are you getting?

To Okie : First time I tried it I got a 'there was a problem with the download' message about half way through and it dropped the download. Worked ok when I tried it again. The second time I tried it the download speed seemed much better so I don't know if it might be some sort of time out issue.

I went back in and turned off my firewall and then downloaded it as a zip file and finally got it to work. Although I couldn't get it to download from the updater? Thanks!!

I suggest you make a note of the steps you took to get it to work, as it is likely that the same thing will happen each time.
