Six Updater: Install/Update mods, missions. Delta patching. Server browser, and more!

[VIPER[CWW]]

Anyone else getting this error when starting up SU? 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable', it's something to do with SixUpdater.msi I think.

I'm happy to announce that the new Launcher is coming together really well, and a first version should be ready for release any time now.
Currently it are mostly graphical elements that still need to be implemented/improved.

Once released we'll obviously do active servicing of the release, while we need to focus on some other things the next 2 weeks,
after that we'll be gradually improving the new launcher.

Currently it fully supports DayZ and PR - since they are both mods that have specific server requirements without additional mods,
while also ACE, I44 and CWR2 are supported, in their pure form - no additional mods currently.

Startup time is about 3 seconds, and another 5-10 seconds are spent for retrieving server info
Switching to the full "original" Six Updater is possible as well.

We could use a few testers for feedback, anyone interested? (2-3 people should be sufficient)

I am getting this erro to and so is my clanmate. Shall we just reinstall to fix it? (since it wont let me update or run the program)

EDIT:

May have been because I had 2 six updater folders and a six project folder which may have finally screwed it up.

No idea on how to fix, I haven't done anything with SU but let it do its thing, clicking to run it then let it update etc. So its SU that's f'd it up. Perhaps something to do with what sickboy says above. A full uninstall will do the trick.

Is there a way to sync mods across all presets? I.e. "just update all my mods"?

Related: currently, when there's update progress, I can't start adding more mods to sync/update/install; it says there's already an action in progress. From my perspective, all it would need is to add the mods to the Updater queue. thx

I get an error while downloading @CRW2, Action remains "failed" and the window in the bottom left says: "There were errors, please review the logfile". Where is the logfile?

Six Launcher Beta Released!


I'm proud and happy to present you the very first version of Six Launcher; The power of Six Updater 2, but without the Fuzz!
Simplicity, User friendly and Performance are key.

This launcher is the first product since we've become a team, and should give you a taste of what is to come in the actual next generation updater project, scheduled late this year.

In this first release we are supporting the following mods: ACE, CWR2, DayZ, I44 and Project Reality.
The features of the launcher are currently mostly useful to the mods with specific server setup (e.g DayZ or PR),
ATM we are extremely busy, but felt we should get you this launcher ASAP already, while we will expand and improve over time.

Current features

• Automatic game detection, with automated Steam fallback
• Convert/Install/Update the supported mods
• Server Browser
• Join servers (mods auto-activated, Beta is automatically enabled/updated depending on server)
• QuickPlay - Auto pick a server
• QueueUp for full servers - auto-join once there are enough slots free

You can switch through the various mods currently by the little arrow under the logo.

Please consider this a Beta, we plan to do servicing coming days, and provide new/improved features over the course of the next few weeks.

Trying it out just now. I have some UI issues - you are probably aware of them already so sorry and I know this is a prerelease

1) the one arrow to change mods isa bit unintuitive - there is no way to go back if I click one, I have to cycle it all through the mods, while waiting for Sync to finish.
2) no way to sort servers right now (by player count/name/etc)
3) the server name field is too small - can't see whole server name (with usually important info like TS address, or difficulty settings in DayZ)

Otherwise, great job!
