Hello,

 

Upon installing the 777, I tried to run the ops center, but it just becomes stuck on Checking for online updates screen.

 

I have not activated the 777 yet, could that be it?

 

Otherwise, I have let it go for 10+ minutes, keeps cpu usage up in the 90s in task manager, memory usage changing constantly but lingering at about 13mb.

According to the network activity monitor it downloads a couple kilobytes from Amazon and then stops network activity.

Nobody else had a similar problem?

Happened to me too, look behind the update window for an error box close the error box and you should be good to go. Should be on the very edge of the update window behind it.

Hmm, that makes sense, but I cant see any errorbox behind the window :(

SO after a computer restart I managed to get the hand-executed updater to download a new OC exe, but it got stuck on changelog. There is definitely NO error message behind the windows of either software as well. Damn.

 

Well, here is where I would appreciate a PTP file. Oh well, what can one do.

Hi guys - looks like the problem is connectivity to update servers... and update servers only.

 

I have tried to disable my internet connection for the software to see what would happen. It did not try to connect to update server and started right up. If at that point I opened the network channel for the software, I could download liveries et al. but it stuck again when I clicked the "Check for updates" option of the software itself.

 

I guess it is a workaround... well until an update is released it will work anyway.

Peter,

There's no such thing as "update servers" - everything in the program loads from the exact same server. If you can download liveries you're connecting to the same server the update is on.

 

I will run this by Matt tomorrow.

Well, that does make it strange... I did actually manage to download about 10 liveries or so without a single hiccup, on speeds a bit lower than usual, but nowhere near abnormally slow. However, as soon as I go near an update check, be it in OPS, on startup, or updater exe... I am toast and have to kill the software off Task Manager.

 

Can I have a suggestion? Could you implement a parameter that would tell the software to explicitly skip autoupdate check? I don't know what the software is in, but in languages I am familiar with, that is a banal excercise (would do it myself... if I had the source code - of course I am not telling you to send me some).

 

A user then could download the updates manually, at least once you release the ops center as standalone.
