Updated Army Builder download messed up some lists

Chapter Master · February 1st, 2011, 04:39 PM

I just downloaded the Army Builder 3.3 update, and now when I try to load the lists I previously saved under my purchased AB, the program won't load quite a few items that were previously on the lists.

I tried re-installing my purchased copy, but now I can't activate my license, so there's no way to go back to the older version.

How do I fix the problem or go back to using my old version?

Well, I saw that I could get a secondary license, so I did that after re-installing version 3.2, then re-downloaded the 40K data files.

But now, when I go to my lists, the things that got dropped the last time don't show up here either, even when using version 3.2 to load it.

I'd suggest looking for an earlier version of the 40k files, rather than an earlier version of armybuilder. I believe there's a complete file history at www.ab40k.org.

I downloaded the version that was current as of the day I loaded my CD version, and it's now working fine.

Thanks guys

Ran into this problem myself. I simply deleted the old rosters and made new ones, then printed them. You should do that, then update your files. the updated files have all the errata and bug fixes.

Quoted for truthiness! This is what we recommend. I'm fairly certain the program notifies you when you update data files that rosters may be unreadable.

Having said that, you can export units from your rosters and reload them in the new version. Undoubtedly, it is one unit or type of units that has changed. Then you can delete and recreate the offending unit.
