YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #2 on:** January 08, 2011, 08:36:38 PM »

Did it work for you? Any updating problems?

Naru523 · « **Reply #3 on:** January 08, 2011, 08:37:36 PM »

Awesome. But it seems like my wyUpdate loading bar seems to stop extracting (pretty much frozen, but animation for the bar is still going). Can't close it either.

no problems for me

Not sure why it's doing that. We had a problem like that with the last update, but that problem was fixed.

Let it sit for a few minutes (give it like 10 minutes) and please let me know (either way) if it ever resumes.

Worst case try it again.
Worst, worst case you may have to re-download the setup file and reinstall.

Please let me know what happens.

Tried, no luck. I had to restart it, but when I tried to open US2, it seems to close itself after a second.

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #7 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:17:03 PM »

Give me a few minutes... I'm going to write a quick program to fix this for you.

Oh lawdz, I missed it. I was Minecrafting, but this is aweshum!

@Naru523

Download and run this.
http://download.universesandbox.com/UpdateFix.exe

Then try to run Universe Sandbox again.

This is safe for anyone to run, but if you're not having a problem it won't do anything. This is the same code that runs when you click the 'Fix updates' button under 'Options'.

If there's a pause, just wait, don't cancel it for at least 15 minutes. If it never continues please let me know.

Check for release candidate doesn't work for me... lol... It won't download.

Can you try pressing the "Fix Broken Auto Updates" then after it restarts, press "Check for Release Candidate" ?

And let me know what happens and please be specific.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:10:40 PM »

I did that. lol It works now, and hence why my comment is gone.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #13 on:** January 09, 2011, 10:26:25 AM »

I can't update at all. Neither within US or the updater in the US folder.

How do you know if failed?
What buttons did you press?
What happened?

Yes, download the setup file and run it.
This will move you to 2.0.13.
Then try the instructions in the first post:
http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,2610.msg25188.html#msg25188

And let me know what happens. Thanks.

I know more features you cahnged! The numbering of specific objects is based on the number of THOSE objects now, rather than all of them.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2011, 06:44:39 PM »

Yes I tried that Dan. Other than checking for update taking 5 seconds longer, it finds no new updates.

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2011, 06:47:39 PM »

@Chaotic Cow
Just download the latest setup file:
http://download.universesandbox.com/universe-sandbox-setup.exe
And reinstall it.

Please let me know if that works for you.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:13:05 AM »

Good to go!

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #23 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:05:08 PM »

The latest setup file runs the UpdateFix.exe automatically. So if anyone has problems updating, redownloading the latest setup.exe file should 'always' solve the problem.
