Says I have an expired beta.
« on: January 19, 2008, 06:47:55 am »
I just checked my e-mail and saw that the latest beta had come out. I never downloaded the first one so I downloaded the game from the link in the e-mail. When I start audio surf everything is fine. I click play and it brings me to this screen.



Don't know what it means by expired beta, I have the most recent build, and I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the internet because I'm posting this.
Any ideas?

Just checked my host files. That isn't in there.

Is anyone still getting this? I think it was just because the server was unresponsive.

Please try this:

Open updater.ini in your install folder and change [app]version from 4 to 3. Save the file and restart the game. It should run the auto-updater.

If you're on Vista and the auto-updater doesn't work for you, then you could also try applying the latest update manually. Just put it in your install folder and extract it there:

This did not solve anything on my end.

It must be something about your internet connection then. Are you running through a proxy or some other unusual setup?

Doing that also did not help me.  I'm connected to the internet through a router however the first beta worked fine.

I'm obviously seeking help in the wrong area.
