Hi Guys,

All good, except for one minor thing.....

When the Updater opens the new tab in IE, the tab text is "Simple 2 column CSS layout.........", which may confuse some people??

Regards

Shando

PS: Love the new Installer

thanks

EDIT: got it i didn't see i can pass the message, sorry, it is working now
thank you

[StarFire]

Great to hear the new installer is working

We hope you all have received the first auto update 0.7.2

Thanks diedir for posting your edit with the solution for anyone else who may encounter this problem

Well done folks!

The consistent development cycles, quality of features being implemented and most of all, the direct interaction and willingness of the developers to help users is what has sold us on sticking with Skyline for the long haul . I have no doubt that with these continued efforts the engine will be very successful with many top notch games being created in the not so distant future.

hello everybody

nice to finally be in here and able to download the software, (had a few troubles with it).
for about an hour I tried to download/install the software but was getting corrupted files a lot (parts 3,6,10,11). had to delete what I could and restart computer and delete what I couldn't the 1st time round and re start the download process. finally I figured out a fix that allowed me to get past the issues of 99% stops and corrupted files.

so here is how I got to download/install 100% of the files on win 8.1 64bit
after getting stuck on 99% I forced a crash of the installer by picking a new folder and restarting the install, then after it crashes restart the installer and restart the install at its original destination folder to continue install, this allowed me to get the complete file the 2nd time around, then I repeated this for the other 3 files that came back corrupted in the chain.

hope this helps others and the devs somehow (sorry should of took a screenshot of the problems now I think of it)

sorry to hear about the downloader not working very well
we are currently running on windows 7, so its hard to tell if any changes between OS is causing problems.

its good that you got a version downloaded though

we will look into this problem.

Questions
> What are your computer specs?
> What is your download speed?

[StarFire]

We have just found out that our server has had issues over the past day or so and the providers have been working to fix them. This may have been cause for the corrupted downloads.

thx very much for that info lordalmighty1, it will come in handy when trying to identify the problem or for future reference.

As Nighthawk had said, we have had server problems over the past day or 2, but they now seem to be fixed.
if you could do us a favor and re-download the parts again on a fresh download and folder to see if the disconnection keeps happening.
This will help in finding out whether or not we need to pursue the download problem you were having.

thanks again. This time just don't bother installing as they are the same files as previous.

[lordalmighty1]

ok I have removed completely all skyline software/files with the uninstaller and such.

reinstallation went through without a hitch, so everything is a ok now m8
didn't take 5mins lol this time round so I guess it was just server errors causing the problems.

glad to be of use to you guys

[SolarPortal]

thank you very much for your help on this matter!
we can now close this issue
