I appreciate ROF and decided to treat myself to a bunch of field mods for Christmas. I purchased them ok, but now when I try to start ROF the program tells me that I need to update to a new version. When I try, the update fails immediately. I'm thinking that it may be a server problem, and I'm in no particular rush (I figure 777 will get it figured out sooner or later), but I'm also curious: Is anyone else having a similar problem starting the game?

Edit: I don't know whether there is any connection between my purchasing the field mods and my subsequent problems starting the game. It may well be that it's a question of chronology rather than of causality.

The two issues are unrelated. The field mods should just be an account unlock. The fail to download error is probably caused by a corrupt download knocking the updater out of sync.

Go into your RoF directory and delete your downloaded patches.

Here is my directory.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rise of Flight\updates

Just copy all the files into a temp directory just in case you need to restore them. Then restart the updater and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the quick response, Master. I deleted the files in the updates folder and when I restarted the game I was able to start downloading the update. It make take a while to download, but that's ok. It's probably clear sailing from here.
