Player Edition and Realm Works 1.0.23 Now Available!

Realm Works Player Edition
GMs and players can begin the celebration! (We’ll bring the cake.) Realm Works Player Edition is now available for sale on our web store! Player Edition is available both for individual users and in discounted packs of 2-5 copies for gaming groups. The more copies, the greater the savings! If you have questions about Player Edition, be sure to check out our website for more information, as well as the Frequently Asked Questions section.

As a reminder for existing users, the 6 months free cloud service with GM Edition starts now! We’ll also be sending out a survey to all Realm Works users in early December. As we shared in our past two newsletters, we’ve been compiling a survey to determine the most frequently requested features based on the many feature requests on our forums. This survey will allow us to focus our development efforts on the features that matter most to our users. The focus on wrapping up Player Edition took precedence over the survey, so we’ll be sending the survey out after Player Edition releases. To ensure you receive our email, make sure that you opt into our newsletter, if you haven’t already.

Realm Works 1.0.21
In addition to Player Edition releasing, a new release of Realm Works is now available. This release includes a number of enhancements. While I've listed a number of the major enhancements below, we encourage all users to read the release notes for a full list of changes and bug fixes.

Please Note:
  • This version requires a login to proceed after installation! This is necessary as some major changes have taken place in conjunction with the release of Player Edition, and they require new data to be synced down from the server before the product can be used.

Significant Enhancements
  • Upon login, users are now prompted to configure basic privacy settings that are employed in conjunction with Player Edition. This prompt will recur with every login until the settings are configured.
Minor Enhancements
  • Due to recent changes in the way Hero Lab handles statblocks, internally viewing a Hero Lab portfolio (i.e. the statblock) requires that the portfolio be created with Hero Lab V6.1 or greater. Older portfolios cannot be viewed internally as statblocks and must be updated with the latest version of Hero Lab.
 
Yep looking pretty sweet.

Is there any way I can view my realm as if I was a 'player'? Just to confirm the way it looks and that the right info is revealed etc?
 
At the top right of the ribbon bar, you should be a button labeled "Enter Player Mode". Click that and you should be switched over so that you only see what your players will see. You can then navigate around to review things. Just click the button again to switch out of Player Mode.
 
Great News!! The Update-Process is working like expected, but i can't log in. Whenever i try to log in, it says that there is a previous session and asks, whether i want to terminate that session or not. I select Yes, and after a while am brought back to the login-screen with the message "Unable to Connect" in red below the field for the login credentials.
Bug Report is sent.

Ok - Maybe I am blind, but I don't seem to have that button :confused:

I remember seeing that on a screenshot (online) somewhere before though and I wondered why it hadn't been added.

Help?
 
It sounds like something is messed up for some users. The person who can get to the bottom of this issue will be back online in the morning. I'll flag this to his attention so he can investigate right away. Make sure you've submitted a bug report with your account information (in case the account is misconfigured). Then stay tuned...

Cheers Rob.

Helpful as always and not a major issue for now. Just excited to get my players on board :)
 
Thank you Rob.
It's great to see that there is such quick response when something is going amiss for some users. In my Bug-Report, i only entered my email-adress, which is the same as in the account settings (at least i think so, can't check it without logging in).
s this enough, or have i to provide the username as well? If i have to, can i edit the Ticket i opened? Or should i just start a new one?

You should have received a response email when you submitted the support ticket. Just reply to that email and add you actual account name. That will keep everything together for us and get us the additional info we need.

Thanks!
 
I forgot to add my username as well, so I've responded to the support ticket email.

Same issue... :(

Sending a bug report now.
 
Same issue for me as well. It might be worht noting that my realm was not synced with the cloud. So it might be the upgrade is trying to sync and upgrade at the same time.

Whereas before I couldn't sync, post update I can't even log in. :(

Since this new version requires syncing, and I'm still having that -500 syncing error, does this mean my software is now useless until it gets fixed?
 
If you were having problems logging in, please try again. If it is still a problem, send in a support ticket (or reply to the support ticket if you already created one).

Do you still have the other installers? If so, just go back to the version you were using until they fix your sync error.
