I went to MS Store and it points me to X box for installation. I click on that . it opens Xbox app, and I see no way to update anything.

Ok

Thanks.

Usually it points to the Store.

I noticed Xbox is on everything. I wonder if PC release has occurred yet??

Rebooted my PC and that triggered it to update. Maybe try that.

It has. X-Box is the name of Microsoft's gaming platform for both PC and Console.

As usual, the update process is changed again from previous methods. It finally started working.

Try rebooting your computer and then check.

YAY !! got 1.5 hours left in this office before getting home to try this out !!.

(Hopefully the servers arent slammed)

Thanks goodness for remote desktop connections. I'm able to queue up the patch and get it all updated from work so that it's ready to go when I get home!

The first picture is after DL everything in Content Manager, but not the WU which is in the Marketplace (not Content Manager).

The second picture is after DL the WU from Marketplace.

So what happens to the ORBX Australia stuff, is it now obsolete?

MS Store version- I too was able to boot the sim without an update warning.  I checked the MS Store and the update was available.  There are several smaller updates for former World Areas and I am currently downloading the Australia World Update (1.25 of 2.51GB). Fingers x'ed!

Is it possible to move WUs to other drives using the addon linker? Haven’t actually looked at the file structure for them.
