Topic: Launcher indicating 2 updates available but it cannot download them

Hello! I found out about First Strike recently and I have finally downloaded the 1.6 full installer and the launcher installer and seem to have both installed correctly. However, upon starting the launcher (with Administrator rights on) it tells me there are 2 updates available to my game. But, it "Cannot install updates at the current state, they need to be prepared first. The Current state is Checked."

Vanilla 2142 works fine and I even have the Northern Expansion SP mod working well. I've checked the firewall and made sure both the launcher and mod are allowed through fully. I've checked the FAQ and the done some google fu to see if this has been asked before. I havent found it sadly, so any help at all would be appreciated!

Have you tried re-downloading it and running it as administrator? The launcher should say that it's version is 1.6.6a before the update.

Re: Launcher indicating 2 updates available but it cannot download them

I set it to run as admin by default. Version number says 1.6.6.0. No "a" in sight. It opens up with a small window that tells me about the updates available and doesnt mention a version number. I have to look in About for that.

Update:
+Gynzer helped me out a good amount on IRC, and I now am getting errors that are printing out .log files, which is a step in the right direction.

Depending on the version of the launcher I use, I get the following errors when trying to update:

v1.5
Unhandled exception in thread started by
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "update.py", line 191, in update
  File "update.py", line 144, in fetchDownload
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

v1.6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "FirstStrikeLauncherPub.py", line 2333, in <module>
  File "FirstStrikeLauncherPub.py", line 1129, in fetchDownload
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Not sure what these mean but I figured I"d update the post with my progress. smile

Re: Launcher indicating 2 updates available but it cannot download them

I sent Gripen to the 1.4/.5 launcher as patch process still seems to be the same.

FTR I tried out my new-launcher too, said it found 2 updates and it would download them, and to wait a few minutes. It's now been 7+ hours, the .exe is still running, no downloads done. Update server may be down or something?  Adding a progress bar or something would be super, invisible background downloads aren't intuitive tongue
