Version 7.5 of the Pathfinder files is now available

[Mathias]

A new update of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available from the automatic updates mechanism within Hero Lab.

This update adds Blood of Night to our existing Player's Companion: Golarion #4 package. This package is available for $4.99, already contains Knights of the Inner Sea, and will get one more book from Paizo's Player's Companion line once it's published.

Also, we're added Mystery Monsters Revisited to our existing Campaign Setting #9 package. This package is also available for $4.99, and already contains the Inner Sea Bestiary and Artifacts & Legends.

In addition to the new books, we've added the player content from adventure path issue #65, and expanded our situational modifier coverage to include attacks, maneuvers, and initiative.

Here's the complete change list, copied from the FAQ:

New Releases!

• Content from Mystery Monsters Revisited is now available as part of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting #9 package.
• Content from Blood of the Night is now available as part of the Pathfinder Player's Companion Golarion #4 package.

Enhancements & Changes

• Added player content from Pathfinder #65 "Into the Nightmare Rift".
• Abilities that add situational modifiers to attacks, initiative, and combat maneuvers now add those changes to the attack, weapons, initiative, or combat maneuvers. Rest your mouse over that item on the Basics tab or Weapons tab to see a list of all the situational modifiers that might apply, so that you can decide which of them do apply. These situational modifiers are also displayed on the printouts.

Works just fine for me so far. No freeze or anything.

[Malhavoc]

Clerics with the Theologian archetype were still receiving proficiency in their deity's favored weapon? Is this correct? I can seem to find any memtion of Theologian losing their dieties favored weapon.

I would be glad to get the latest update but I've been trying for two weeks at various times of day and haven't made it past half-way and that took nearly an hour. I realize you are a very small business but this isn't satisfactory for anyone.

Hardwaremonger, is there any chance the issue is with your network connection? I have had issues in the past downloading really big updates to my tablet over Wi-Fi, but the same update downloaded to my wired PC just fine, and then I could transfer the patch file to the tablet via thumb drive.

Wow, I did the whole thing in under 5 minutes and I am not on a T1 or anything. I have not had an upgrade take that long ever.

It's possible your download got corrupted somehow and is causing Hero Lab to crash. Try downloading and importing the file from this web page:

Does that help?

I am also having problems updating to 7.5 and have been for the last couple of weeks. The download fails part way through using both the HL update tool or the direct download above. It fails at a different % each time. My interent connection is very stable and i have no problems ever downloading anything else.
I watched the internet throughput the last few times I attempted the download and I notice that the recieving of data is very intermittent - I will recieve data at 4Mbps for a few seconds, then it goes idle for some time and then it repeats. After a while it goes idle for a long time and eventually the download times out. This suggests that there is some problem with timeout settings for your download server or something.... not sure. But I am fairly sure it is at your end.
I should add that I am from Australia so maybe packet delay/lag may be an issue, dont know.
