Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was writing a post, and then when returned to this page I found this surprise!

Custom update background image! Fit to page view! Man this a milestone version for me!!!

Thanks Tom!!!

EDIT: How should the update image be named to be recognised by GameEx? Or do you have to set the file manually in Setup Wizard?

Your welcome.

Its the same as the file in the root Media (not theme) folder - AutoUpdate1.png. Just place AutoUpdate1.png in the media folder of the theme.

Thanks much, Tom! This resolves quite a few user issues, not to mention the additional database!

Thanks Tom! I have been wanting the pdf feature since I started using GameEX over a year and a half ago! I think it was my first ever feature request! Appreciate it Tom!!

None of my Daphne games are working now, did some thing change with this update?

All my games worked before this update and now I get a command line error with Daphne.

[Tom Speirs]

This is fixed in the next version. Available shortly.

Thanks Tom

Keep up the great work!

My prayers have been answered! Thanks a million Tom!

I'm getting stuck in an update loop, the link says it's 12.12 but it's downloading 12.11 from the website. The auto update immediately falls back to GameEx.

[Draco1962]

I confirmed this is occurring for me as well. Disabled auto-updates via Setup Wizard>Enable Features in the mean time.

[AlphaUMi]

I'm part of the band, too. Same thing occurs. Should we proceed with the offline installation or we'd better wait?

[Adultery]

I was actually using the offline installer when I posted this hoping it would fix my random crashes and sound issues. It didn't by the way.

[Draco1962]

It appears that it did install the 12.11 features/fixes for me. Just keeps showing the update prompt.

[Adultery]

It should be on 12.12 though which is why its looping.

[fRequEnCy]

Thanks for the report guys and sorry for the inconvenience. I have notified Tom about this and should be fixed as soon as possible!

[Krakerman]

12.12 fixed !

[Adultery]

Thanks Freq!

[AlphaUMi]

Bad, It still isn't working for me. I just downloaded the executable 5 minutes ago, and ran the offline installer. Then, when I launch GameEx I still have the update request (that doesn't update and repeats in loop). Do you guys have it sorted out?

[Draco1962]

Premature there, Krake! Still looping the update!

[fRequEnCy]

Please be patient! We will notify when it is fixed!

[Krakerman]

Story of my life Drac!

[AlphaUMi]

Please be patient! We will notify when it is fixed!

Excuse me fReq, we just had a false alarm...
