Gibsonm Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Forum! I'm afraid I can't help you with the Software Development Kit issue (I suspect that relates to non SB software). Yes you do need to upgrade to 4.1x (4.167 is the current version). There are numerous threads on this already but basically go here: https://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1530 and select Upgrade License from version 4.0 Edited June 2, 2020 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have an error that shows I need directX SDK for faster rendering (how do I handle this?) As mentioned, upgrading to version 4.1 isn't free, but possible for as little as $30.- The error message is most commonly seen with outdated drivers. I recommend upgrading the graphics card driver. This is no guarantee that it'll solve the issue, but at least it offers a decent chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I think we may share a common time zone - so if you have any dramas applying the upgrade, just send me a PM and we can arrange a convenient time to walk you through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 3, 2020 Members Share Posted June 3, 2020 If it is that stupid "invalid domain" error... a. It's known b. we can't do anything about it c. at least, as far as we can tell, it's not security relevant d. it'll go away after a while e. I totally hate it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derflinger58 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 I updated to 4.163 no problem, guess next stage is move on up to 4.167 ; is there an easy way to get all my legacy maps back ? or open each one by one in map or scenario editor ? sorry for the questions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 3, 2020 Members Share Posted June 3, 2020 Impossible to say without knowing what these maps were. If custom maps from someone else: You may need to convert them, or contact the original author. If they were maps coming with previous installations of Steel Beasts: No action necessary,"most likely". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ramsey Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I have update 4.167 installed but still get the 4.162 launch screen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Thodt Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Did you update FROM Version 4.162 directly TO 4.167? Then you should made a intermediate step and install the update to 4.163 first 😉 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 3, 2020 Members Share Posted June 3, 2020 Uninstall, then use the full installer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
