I'm traveling for the holiday, is this real?

"Index was outside the bounds of the array" error for my main realm.... :( Other realms are unaffected.
It may be time to rebuild it anyways as I have learned better approaches since I started down this journey many years ago, but I'd really like to be able to export pieces of it. |

I cant update my version and because of that,i cant login too
*Cant even re-download from realmworks.net,web site also gives error What should i do? I dont see any planned downtime so... |
I'm having issues too. I can log in and can only run in off-line mode so far today. Hopefully, it is just a minor server issue. The same thing happened to me two weeks ago when we last played but it started connecting about an hour before the game so I could at least synchronize to my laptop.

Community hit up BJ via Facrbook (who's on holidays). She has confirmed devs are aware and working on the server issues already.
|
Servers are back up
|
Special Thanks for the "reveal by polygon" and snippets styles in ribbons!
I love those! |
Some words of warning...
Once you access the database with build 248 you cannot use older versions of RealmWorks with it, so if you have a problem, you cannot simply install v245, v246, or v247 and "downgrade" successfully. I am now about to start the laborious process of clearing my local Realm so I can sync it all down from the Server in order to return to v245. There is going to be limited support over the holidays. If you cannot afford to be without RealmWorks during that time, it is probably wiser NOT to risk the upgrade. |
This version is much more stable than the 247 and all annoying problems are addressed. I managed to crash it once though, but failed to capture what the circumstance was. :(
The new improvements are small but significantly improve the process of formatting the data! :) |
248 is an optional update. The new features are probably very nice, but because I cannot use v248 at all, that doesn't really matter.
And because I am also unable to easily back out the failed upgrade, my weekend stands a good chance of being ruined. A word of warning about that risk seems appropriate. :eek: UPDATE: With a combination of reinstalling, restoring from a prior backup, and re-syncing after that ... I am now able to access my main Realm again in v245. |
@Silveras: What are the steps for restoring from a prior backup? I don't want to totally hose myself. I seem to remember EightBits having having a backup/restore problem in the past.
I assume replace the master realm with a backup realm from prior to the upgrade. Install v245. Synch to the web. Done. Is this correct? |

RealmWorks makes automatic backups periodically according to your settings (maximum number, and location for the file). The easiest sequence is:
That should have been enough in my case, but I did need to sync the data before I could use it. The first time I tried to access my main Realm, it crashed again. I did a "Sync All", and then tried the Realm again. This time, it went through the fix-ups and finally loaded. |
Polygon reveal‽ Awesome! Upgrading now...
|
I guess because I was a beta user, I didn't have to do any further upgrades to my realms so this installation was quick.
The "Get Content to Import" button added to RealmWorks Home screen is promising. Fingers crossed that this means the Content Market really is going to materialize out of the vapors soon. The "Reveal Selected Polygon" feature is a VERY welcome and handy feature. Especially for indoor constructed areas, it is much more convenient than using the Reveal brush. The snippet tools on the Format ribbon are also very useful. The "snippet style" tool is an obvious tool that I'm glad to finally have in a convenient and obvious location in the interface, rather than hidden in context menus. The tool to add space before every paragraph other than the first is far more useful than it immediately appears. It is a huge time saver when reformatting pasted content copied from other sources. It is one of those features I hadn't ever thought to ask for, but now that I've used it, I wonder how I lived without it. Definitely a welcome update! |

Splitting a snippet at paragraph that is formatted does not restore the default formatting when it becomes the first in the new snippet, but the new hotkey Ctrl+0 helps a lot now!!! It was such a pain to make things pretty with the laggign Alt+F followed by PH or whatever it was. Or clicking!
I am happy. |
We released a new build today (249) to fix the crashes reported here by AEIOU and Silveras.
@AEIOU and @Silveras thank you for the crash reports as they were very helpful in fixing the problem, and very sorry for the inconvenience. A few topics in your realms contained edge cases that weren't present in any of the crash reports from the beta. |

Get back to the eggnog and stop looking at our edges. :)
Next year this will all get sorted out. In the meantime, I'm back up and running thanks to @Silveras, and I've confirmed that it's repeatable.... So I'll stick with the past version for now. |

I, for one, will wait until the staff is all back from the holidays before I risk another upgrade. |
I agree with Silveras. I just did a bunch of entries tonight and I don't feel like rolling the dice. I did make a backup just in case.... :)
