{1.0.1] OSX loaded game offline only

[FrozenIguana]

After installing the newly released 1.0.1 version of TOME for Mac OSX, I tried to load an existing character. I had to use the 'show incompatible' button before they showed up. Once one was selected, it loaded without any problem. However, I get this red message in the lower left (combat log area) that says:

"Online profile disabled (switching to offline profile) due to bad game version."

When I save the game (in offline mode of course), it seems to save in 1.0.1 version, and can be reloaded, so as far as offline goes, things are fine, but the online portion for saving and showing status on the website is disabled.

Is this a website server issue that can be adjusted on that side, or a bug with this update?

Thanks!

Did you wait for the news box saying 'the current version is so and so (1.0.1 at the moment)'? If not, you may not have waited long enough on the menu, or your connection might have hiccuped at the wrong time while loading.

Try getting to the games main menu, and wait for a minute. Then load your game. If it still coughs up an error, then I don't know. Only thing I know of that gives bad GAME version error...

Thanks, but I tried this a dozen times today, and each time it stated in the Main Menu, at the bottom, the correct online profile and my profile link (which works).

For both loaded and new characters, it immediately goes into "online profile disabled" mode. One time I saw two additional messages in yellow stating it was trying to reconnect and that it had done so. I still had the problem when right after that I exited, that there was no update on the website. The main menu indicates after I exit a game that I'm still logged in for every attempt.

Additionally, and probably not related, I could see the usual chat messages scrolling by on the right side of the screen so my internet connection wasn't completely disabled within the app, just the save-to-te4.org part of it.

I saw (after posting this, should have put on my reading glasses...), someone else posting a week ago about same error message. In that thread, Darkgod posted that it was a result of his doing server testing. This was on 3/27. It was also for someone with 1.0.0, so I'm not sure if it's related.

I posted this in the hopes it wasn't a local issue on my side, but maybe it is...

Kinda stuck for the moment.

I'm getting the exact same issue, even after re-downloading/installing the game. I also deleted all TOME-related files from my computer before reinstalling, just in case that was related, but the "bad game version" error persisted.

[FrozenIguana]

Yes, same here. I re-installed a couple of times, and the problem repeats. When I go back to version 1.0.0, it works fine. Switch to 1.0.1, gives the error. I see player comments in the chat area, so it isn't that I have internet problems. And I am waiting until I see I am 'logged in' on the main menu before attempting to load/create a character.

I tried looking for the version string in the data that remains in the ~/library subfolder, but only found the version string in the charball file (which I guess is the file transferred to the server with each update from the user's system?).

So for me, I went back to 1.0.0. I'm seeing a few others notice the same or similar problem (in another thread in the Bugs section) so maybe there is a consensus that I'm not crazy (on this issue).

Good idea on rolling back to 1.0.0, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

This should be fixed now.

Using 1.0.1 on OSX, I can now see my 1.0.1 characters get posted and updated in the website character vault as expected.

Thanks!

I do have some inconsistent results with 1.0.0 characters loaded into 1.0.1, which I haven't quite pinned it down yet. A new character that was generated in 1.0.1, saw the issue, then loaded in 1.0.0, saved to vault, and now loaded in 1.0.1, posts in the vault as 1.0.1 as expected. But on one my other not-so-fresh 1.0.0 characters doesn't post in 1.0.1. Since compatibility isn't necessarily promised, and I can actually still play the characters from 1.0.0 in 1.0.1 and just not get this feature, I'm not personally concerned. Thanks again!
