8th jan Update - Updater fail

[grahamed]

Hi FYI - I just tried the "check for updates" process and it failed at the point where it tries to update the updater, basically it updated the updater then tried to do it again ad infinitum. (win 10 PC)

I tried on my laptop (win 11), same problem.

I downloaded the zip file and that works fine on both machines.

I have the same problem- i even deinstalled FOG and re-installed - problem remains- can't log in for my ongoing games

[paulmcneil]

still happening, where is the zip file for download?

[grahamed]

https://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/FieldOf ... 1.6.10.zip

Or you can find it by seraching for the fog2 page on the store at slitherine

[pipfromslitherine]

You can also access it via the My Page from the main site. It looks like the ordering isn't right, in that the latest patch isn't at the top, but you can find it by looking for the date Jan 08, 2024.

Cheers

Pip

This is a recurring problem with some players' builds that Slitherine have been unable to resolve.

Hence why we always provide a link for direct download when we post the details of the update.

Thanks Pip and Richard, fyi, until this update I've not had the problem on either machine, certainly over the last few updates, maybe there is something slightly different about this update, or the last? (Update to the updater that is rather than the actual programme)

Anyway, no matter, just fyi

Ditto - also got stuck in the updater loop until I cancelled and used the downloadable file.

Not sure if my problem is related to this. I run through Steam and believe game was updated automatically yesterday and I played it succesfully.

This morning when loading FoG2 after clicking Play on the launcher a box came up saying Field of Glory II.exe not found (or something like). I decided to reinstall the game, but installation won't complete. It looks as though the game has downloaded and it is getting stuck downloading other content - whether that's updates or DLC I don't know. I get the message below at the end.

I have tried running the installer manually and get the message in the second image.

Perhaps because when I reinstalled FIELDOFGLORY2.EXE is not actually there anymore, but there is an error_trace text document, I will paste the content in the next post

REBUILDING
KERNEL MEMORY CHECKING IS **OFF**

Not sure if my problem is related to this. I run through Steam and believe game was updated automatically yesterday and I played it succesfully.

This morning when loading FoG2 after clicking Play on the launcher a box came up saying Field of Glory II.exe not found (or something like). I decided to reinstall the game, but installation won't complete. It looks as though the game has downloaded and it is getting stuck downloading other content - whether that's updates or DLC I don't know. I get the message below at the end.

I have tried running the installer manually and get the message in the second image.

Perhaps because when I reinstalled FIELDOFGLORY2.EXE is not actually there anymore, but there is an error_trace text document, I will paste the content in the next post

The STEAM version installs in an entirely different location from the standalone version. The standalone updater only works for the standalone version of the game, and is presumably correct in saying that you do not have the standalone version installed.

I will pass this on the Pip, to see if he has any ideas about the STEAM issue.

I assume you have already performed a "Verify integrity of game files" on the STEAM version?

As Richard says, the updater EXE will not work with a Steam version, it updates automatically via the Steam launcher. If you are having issues getting the game installed, I would suggest fully uninstalling it and re-downloading. If it still won't install the game EXE, it is likely an anti virus issue.

Cheers

Thank you Richard, I didn't know of the existence of "verify integrity of game files", but I have just done it and the game finishing updating successfully. Problem solved.

Glad to hear it.
