Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
Just a warning / report...
I got an update notice on Springlobby.exe for updating to 0.170, updated it but the new version doesn't start, the process sits at 0% CPU usage and nothing happens when launched (Windows 7), gave it 5 minutes then force closed it. Tried a few times with the same effect and reverted to the previous version which was fine (renaming springlobby.exe.bak worked).

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
I had the same problem although for me it updated to 0.171. I also reverted to the backed up 0.169 exe.
Workaround: http://www.weblobby.com or 169 is here http://springlobby.info/windows/springl ... -win32.zip
On another note, I think the layout which I set up for myself a few years ago and have always used since is really nice, it's this:

Also just noticed that I had about 10 springlobby.exe's running in task manager for every time I tried to start it.
Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
sorry, was broken by me
to downgrade, download here:
http://springlobby.info/windows/springl ... -win32.zip
as temporary workaround:
edit->preferences -> general -> disable version check
the linux version works fine :-/

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
Yeah same problem here 0.170 & 0.171 broken, lights are on nobody home.
Solution: smurf with http://weblobby.springrts.com/ until springlobby fixed

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
Other solution: use gpl violation Lobby, because it does not auto-update.
Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
autoupdate now would update to 0.169, koshi fixed that.
@zerver: please stop this...

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
that one is working for me abma.
edit: it opens, but can't find spring (location is manually set). And it gives Window's "springlobby has stopped working" popup when I close it.

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
This will, if you let it, revert you back to .169, seems to work and gets the file size back to what it should be. Am still curious as to how the file grew almost 6 Mb between update. Honestly thou it would be much easier to just rename your springlobby.exe.bak from the last fail update, than install this .220 and then downgrade to play a game.
The real problem is this is blocking any new people from joining the community. They install the game hit lobby, get update msg then nothin. Is this some kind of conspiracy or schadenfreude?
thank you for the tireless and thankless work you put into the spring project. also please forgive my cynicism, but there is a pattern forming with updates that needs to Stop.

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
Springlobby was already stopped asking to update, so the 'block' is already gone.
If you want to help prevent bugs, every now and then you should test the latest pre-release builds e.g. http://springlobby.info/windows/ and report bugs to www.springlobby.info.

Re: Springlobby updated to 0.170 and broke
yeah, it doesn't ask for a update to the broken version any more. this major bug is fixed now, but before releasing a new version, i want first to fix the remaining ones:
http://projects.springlobby.info/projec ... tatus_id=o
testing version is here: http://springlobby.info/temp/builds/abma/sl_master.zip
thanks for the feedback and still sorry for the broken release. many stuff was rewritten, this is why this breakage happened. there are already two small features added which are incomplete, but mostly already works:
- version check is now done at battle level, not for the whole lobby server
- there is a new "search file" which allows to download files & stable rapid tags (which can be downloaded by double-click)
not sure if its a good idea to show upcoming features, but imo it can't be bad to see, whats the plan.
