Stardock Central updates - 2.29 build
Monday, February 13, 2006 by [email protected] | Discussion: Stardock Support General
As we prepare for the GalCiv2 release next week (and the preload of content this week), there is going to be a new Stardock Central 2.29 build published tonight.
Initial application installs with it are more or less the same, though it has some new code to try and failover to other servers in case of errors. It's major new addition revolves around how it handles updates in the future, which should be a lot faster to determine which files need to update and to attempt to get them from another server if it has problems with one.
There is liable to be a side-effect to this new update code, it's going to want to fetch some files for updates for already installed components even though they are already installed. Once its done that the first time, it shouldn't ask in the future.
Please CC problem reports with the new Stardock Central bits to [email protected] and [email protected]. We will be working on tweaking anything necessary in the coming day or two.

Riahon...SDC under 'tools' 'settings' 'settings - general' 'auto update' do you have it marked to check for updates?

Tried both servers. Tried refreshing XML. Autoupdate set. Show pre-release set.
GAH!!!

| There's an SDTray? |
Little guy in the systray that let's you know when there are updated apps. Very nice when it's NOT TEASING YOU!!!
But you know . . I'll be damned ifI can find how to enable it. But it's running on two of my PCs.

| sdc doesn't see any updates. |
Don't get it here either - neither "Tools->Check for App Updates" nor "Tools->View App Updates" reports anything new...
Currently running: 2.24a[b].182 build 113

Same happened to me, but I Redownloaded SD Central from www.stardock.com and the update was detected.
Now I'm running the 2.29 build 187

| WTF. You must be one of those 'better living through chemistry' peeps....... |
Not for at least 30 yrs...no, wait..yesterday.
Found it...didn't have it installed yet...still reinstalling everything from my reformat.
Thanks for the instructional boot to the behind Yrag.

Arrrgh!! I *ALWAYS" think its a sub-function of SDC. Yeterday was something like the third time I've "lost" it.
I swear it's like the alien probe took that memory too. Bastards.
Thanks yrag.

but when i click 'Yes' it opens SDC version 2.24a[b].182 build 113 and that's it, nothing else, no update....usually SDC asks to update when opening it, but not in this case

up to date now, though seems a little strange to have to download the 2.10 version of SDC, reboot, then use version SDC 2.10 to see the 2.29a.374 version...and i thought this industry was logical
