I believe it was the 8th, since I tried to update after seeing the first post in this thread, but I can't swear to it.

You guys running any anti-xxxx software?

There has to be something in common with these computers.

Have you tried disabling it?  We know Avast is one of the ones which continually interferes with the game.  It may not be the culprit today, or it might be, but one thing is certain, it will eventually be a problem.  You can stamp that in stone.

It does indeed appear to be Avast causing the problem.  Other anti-xxxx program who depend on definitions could be causing the issue as well.

We have confirmation Kaspersky is also causing the problem.

Just started to play after a month or so. The "your version is out of date" window shows and asks if I want to update. I click yes. It flashes & quickly disappears but nothing happens.
Help please.

If you are running Avast Skuzzy thinks that may be causing the issue. If not, I guess its something else but down loading the game and installing it over your should do the trick.

Ok, I did a reinstall over old.  Now it says "that account is deleted" ???

Been flying here since 1999...not sure about this, it is a tragedy. No evidence of non-payment of sub either.

HELP!!

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

We have confirmation that both Avast and Kaspersky are causing the problem.

For account info use billing@hitechcreations.com.  I'll look into it when I get into the office and PM you if I can find your account information.

Version 3.01 Patch 0 won't update through game updater
« Reply #27 on: July 14, 2017, 04:42:07 AM »
On our family pc in living room AH was at Version 3.01 Patch 0.

Clicked online arenas, it asked do I want to update.

Clicked yes and game went back to start menu with no action taken. Tried this several times.

Dowloaded full version installed over top game works fine online now.
Leave that thing alone!

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Are you running Avast or Kaspersky on that computer, by any chance?  We have confirmation they both are blocking updates to the game.

Hi Skuzzy, I'm running ESET NOD32 antivirus on all our PCs. AH is installed on E: drive.
