I heard how to upgrade to build 417 by typing Start>run "c:\active
worlds\upgrade.exe" objects.activeworlds.com/upgrade kit416.rtp aworld.exe

Why isn't AW automaticly upgrading to this version?

The most non-beta users can use is 416 :). Only beta users can use 417+.

Upon further inspection, I can log on to AW with 417 under a non-beta
account. This seems to be a bug. Thanks for the info.

Take a peak in Preferences > Universe > Features, 417 is the 3.3 patch, but
for some reason it's only been released to the beta team.

Well i dont think they need to wait a week for such a tiny update...the
terrain looks fine...a few bug fixes....btw Brant was saying how to do this
in AWTeen so a lot of non-beta people are using this already.

in build 417? The seqs are still in their screwed up self. If you look at
the beta notes this upgrade isnt the one that fixes the seqs.

Build 417 is a maintenence update to 3.3. Ever since the days of 3.1,
Roland made no restrictions on maintenence upgrades to AW. Thus, you should
encounter no problems upgrading if you choose to.

I suggested that people upgrade while Demeter, AWTeen's terrain editor was
tested, because there were several bugs fixed in this version that would
result in a crash while everyone was building using version 416. Most
likely, the version isn't "offically" supported by AW because the beta
testers would be more likely to find any additional serious bugs that may
have cropped up in it before it is released to all users.

Roland isn't the programmer any more. Times change.

thanks a lot aw will probably fix this. i dont think they should though. if
non-beta people want to risk using something thats not 100% sure its
working, let them and see what happens

That defeats the purpose of a closed beta. If they allowed that, everyone would start emailing them when they thought they had found
a bug which may or may not be unique.

I dunno what's new yet but it's out. Change kit416 to kit417 It still is 3.3
but Alot of Seqs work now.

Jun 18, 2002, 10:39pm

well there arent that many chnages when its the same version anyway... this
is another reason why u may not want to upgrade when its not out- you might
not get support when u have problems

AND...... in case you hadn't considered this..... they COULD boot yer at $$, if they decided that
doing unauthorized (unsupported, whatever you wanna call it) upgrades this way was some manner of
attempting to hack into their web server to get stuff you aint supposed to have yet, since there
ISN'T a manual update option...... "Technically" you're not supposed to do this........ know what
I mean ? Just something to think about..... Some ppl get kinda Pissy when you screw around with
their software like that..........


So far AWC's been pretty timely in fixing these sorts of problems....... a couple weeks with
screwy sequences aint gonna kill anyone ;O)
