Thank you, but they just changed the wording on the game screen to sound like it was working, oh well. I will wait.

Hi Hubert, did not try any of the downloads from your link, I tried it from the game screen because they changed the wording on it and made it sound like you could download from the game screen, my bad, I will wait til that one works.

I was referring to the game screen, it made it sound like the fix could be done from there, a shade misleading IMO, NP

Yeah I got it. Now, I could be wrong, but I don`t think they wanna make a beta patch available through the game screen, so either you wait to the official patch to be released, or you could install it from the links that we were talking about. Is not gonna make a difference in the way that the game functions.


EDIT: OOPS Sorry all, now I realize that the official patch is out... thought we were still talking about the beta. Forget all what I just said

I know the direct download works from the members section, can't someone from Matrix verify that it does not work from the game screen, is that a tough question? And when will that be fixed?

Hi demjansk, where did you download it from, members section or the game screen section. Look not trying to make a big deal of this, can this fix be downloaded from the game screen yes or no.

Well why doesn't it work from the menu screen? They put that button in there, and then don't make use of it. I would think they would have that ready before releasing the patch.

Ouch Dorb, Mr. sPzABT653 wants to give that idea a rest I notice a lot of other posters asking the same question, but then again isn't that what posting is all about [asking questions]

Status: offline 		Not only does the update from launch screen not work, I could only get the download link from members area to work using MS based browser. Chrome and Firefox would not work for me.

Although it did work for me today, so perhaps they did fix something with browser access.

Status: offline 		The game screen update now works fine thank you Matrix, downloaded this morning 11 am est. Lost all my saved games though, but Matrix said it would do this.

In the future every time there is an update will we lose our saved games?
