Update feature in Launchbox

[Biggerbyte]

Hey guys... So, I have had this happen before, and the only solution I had run across was to wait until a newer version was released.

When I click on check for updates I've stopped getting the notifications on the bottom right corner that either tells me there is or is not one. This time I reinstalled the lastest patch thinking that would fix it. It didn't. 

 

Anybody?

 

Interesting update tonight. So I updated another computers launchbox from 13.16 to 13.17.... I used the check for updates feature and it worked fine. Once 13.17 was installed I tried again to see if it would tell me there are no updates. Sure enough I now have the same problem on this computer.

13.17 IS the latest version. We dropped a beta update of version 13.18 Beta 1 yesterday. Beta updates require you to opt into them in the options menu (Tools > Options > Updates). Go to the page and check the box and then you will detect beta updates. Beta updates are more prone to errors/bugs since they've only been vetted internally and haven't been tested en masse by users though and so you need to be aware of the potential drawbacks. We do our best to ensure all beta releases are stable, but unfortunately that's not always the case.

Okay. I see this issue is unknown and therefore no fix except getting another release. That troubles me, but it is what it is. Thanks for commenting.

Just another quick update.  I thought maybe the Anti-virus was causing an issue.  I turned off all protection, including the firewall.  No change. I can say with 100% certainty that something goes wrong when updating to the latest version. 

One final thought.  It occurred to me that it might be a server issue on your end with the number of update checks per client.  A lot of newer systems are designed to prevent dos attacks.
