C_Man Posted May 19, 2024 Report Posted May 19, 2024 Hi, anyone know if there is an auto update function, that installs new updates for you? Just wondering, because got to bed yesterday with v1.19.7 installed and started Vintage Story today, and now it's on v1.19.8.
Streetwind Posted May 19, 2024 Report Posted May 19, 2024 To my knowledge, the user is notified on the main menu when a new version is available. Upon clicking the notification and confiming you wish to update, the game will then download and install the update. I've never seen this happen automatically without user involvement, nor do I recall patchnotes to that effect. I will, however, add the disclaimer that I've not installed any 1.19.x versions myself - I've done so many playthroughs already that I'd rather wait for 1.20 before making another new world. So, who knows, maybe 1.19 works differently...?
Thorfinn Posted May 19, 2024 Report Posted May 19, 2024 Mine's still sitting on 1.19.7. Gives me the option on the main screen, but it doesn't automatically do it. In Windows, anyway.
C_Man Posted May 19, 2024 Author Report Posted May 19, 2024 Yea, maybe they changed something because the same thing happened to my brother as he started Vintage Story after I told him of this thing.
Thorfinn Posted May 19, 2024 Report Posted May 19, 2024 But I was running 1.19.7, too, and it did not update. So it can't be a change to 1.19.7. You didn't do something like update to join a server or something, did you?
C_Man Posted May 20, 2024 Author Report Posted May 20, 2024 No, just starting the game and saw that it was 1.19.8.
Streetwind Posted May 20, 2024 Report Posted May 20, 2024 Do you have more than one version of VS installed, and tried to update one of the others? Due to the update package looking into the Windows Registry for the game's install path, it will always update the client that was installed most recently, not the client that downloaded the update (unless of course, the two are the same). Example: you have two clients installed, A and B, and A was installed first. If you start client A, and it offers you an update, and you accept, then the game will dutifully proceed to download and install that update... into client B. Because it was installed more recently.
C_Man Posted May 21, 2024 Author Report Posted May 21, 2024 No, just playing with one Version on Linux, don't know how to fix this, but thanks for your help and effort.
