    Hey guys can someone help my updater does not work I think i am still at the very first version. When I try to update it it says this "Unable to download file: version.text" and under that it says "could not resolve host name" Can someone please help I love this game and want to be able to update.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Actully im very sure im on the first version because when I installed it, it tryed to run the updater to make it the new version but said those same things so I know im on oldest version... So if someone can please help. Thanks :)

    This happens when your firewall or anti-virus blocks the updater - try again with one or both of those disabled.

    Still does not work :(

    I just disabled them both and ran the updater and it did not work it said the same things and one i might not have mentioned was "couldn't resolve host name"

    - - - Updated - - -

    And when the updater is ran it will get like almost have way through and it says detecting proxy settings then a window pops up in front of it saying "Fatal error" "unable to download file: version.text" "couldnt resolve host name"

    Right click, run as administrator. Turn off antivirus entirely (and then turn it back on after)
