The Bulders Influence Update Yields an Errormessage

[s.urfer]

Recently tried to download all the new or updated missions, but the last remaining one gives the attached errormessage.

Starts and seemingly runs fine, though.

I get now a Cannot connect to server error when trying to download missions. Hope it's temporary.

I was able to download from 5 mirrors (the builders influence)

EDIT: Also worked in game.

Unless someone fixed it already

@s.urfer, which TDM version are you using?
Please report the 4-digit number in the bottom-right corner of the game console.

I think the original 2.09 release can give you errors like this.
Make sure you have either version 2.09a or 2.09b installer.

#9108, and currently, it says no new missions available.

And running tdm_update tells me, my TDM installation is up to date.

Looks like the problem is gone, for whatever reason...

Yes, you have the original 2.09 release, that's why mission downloader does not work.
You need to run tdm_installer and let it do its default thing: it will install 2.09b.

tdm_update is no longer a valid way to install TDM.
In fact, it should give you a warning about it immediately when you start it... did you see the warning?

You need to download tdm_installer from our website, put it into installation directory, and use it now and ever after.

Most likely, nope.

Nope.

After running tdm_installer, version #9652 is reported.

The latest tdm_update has version 0.77.

Where did you get this executable?
Normally, if should self-update to 0.77 automatically, but maybe we messed something...

UPDATE: Yes, I see that 0.76 does not update to 0.77. Damn.

Yes, this is a good one (2.09b).

I have updated all information about tdm_update both in crc_info.txt and tdm_version_info.txt and verified that the change has got to all mirrors.

tdm_update 0.76 downloads the new txt files, but will does not perform self-update.
I have replaced everything related to tdm_update, I have no idea why it behaves that way.

I think I'll have to release some broken version of TDM (e.g. no game executables) via the old tdm_update approach just to make sure it updates itself and people know that they have a problem.
