PoSM and Hell on Earth seem to have broken my HeroLab

[The GIT!]

Well, all the updates seemed to do was break my HeroLab again. With a bit of trial and error I figured out that I was getting errors from the following files...

50Fathoms.user
High-Space Starships.user

I've removed the culprits from my SW data folder and I can at least use the software again.

FWIW - the only update I actually get notified of is "Savage Settings: 50 Fathoms (V1.5)" and it actually never disappears even after I've loaded it (at which point it breaks HeroLab anyway).

When it updates but then says it still needs to be updated it's because the old version is still the one it's getting off of my Dropbox site. I need to figure out why Dropbox isn't updating with the latest one but this migraine makes it a little hard to think straight. Yes, you can always move any .user files that are not working out of your data directory to make it work again. I don't believe High Space Starships has even been updated yet (it's not one of my files anyway) so you'd probably just have to move that one out no matter what. All I can do is try to fix the ones you see listed in my signature, below.

I guess since I have so many data files up I'll try to ask about being on the beta test team for Hero Lab and then maybe that way I can find out beforehand if any new updates might break the files before those updates get pushed out. No guarantees they'll take me, though.

Hey zarlor - I hope your migraine gets better soon; I wouldn't worry too much about the Dropbox updating until you feel better mate.

Thanks. The pain's gone now but I still tend to be a bit wonky afterwards. I don't mind trying to work on it I just can't guarantee I've got enough faculties to fully have it figured out on my own, so please keep the feedback coming.

The original updates was yesterday evening UK time, GMT. So... yesterday afternoon.

When I did the update from within the Savage Hero Lab, that was about an hour before my post detailing stuff earlier.

I did another push of the files to dropbox about 4 hours ago so if those errors were from yesterday please update again. You may need to remove the High Space files from your data/savage directory, though.

I can't even get into the program, at least not for Savage worlds (I can for Shadowrun). It just asks me if I want to update, I update, it asks me again. Not sure what to do.

Tell it to skip the update. If you've downloaded it already, it's got that one. There's currently an issue with the synchronization of the version numbers.

That worked, thanks

I've removed what High Space files I could find, and I now get no errors.

However, even though I've tried a couple of times, it still shows Deadlands Noir and 50 Fathoms as showing new updates.
